Just curious. He's still young and physically in his prime but it seems like he's gone about as far as he's going to go in boxing. Would switching over be a better career move? With his punching power and ferocity it seems like he'd be good at it.

I agree. That's why I feel he might be better over there. No sense just being a gatekeeper in boxing when he could make some real money somewhere's else.

If low blows and headbutts are permitted in MMA: YES

You don't know much you jokers, he would get a beating in mma worse than in boxing.

He would take a huge pay cut and have guys rubbing their junk all over him trying to secure a toe lock.

Since when has boxing ability ever made anyone a good fit at MMA. Does he know how to kick or defend kicks ? Hows his takedown and takedown defense ? Can he hold his own in many different types of clinches ? Hows his Jiu-Jitsu ? Ive made the switch from boxing to MMA and MMA is about 10 times harder.

You could say the same when switching from MMA to Boxing. Boxing is 100 times tougher and harder. I swing like a girl when I was doing MMA:lol: and so do a lot of MMA fighters:lol:

He would get his ass whoop just because he D sucks in boxing. But he has a punchers chance. But I can see someone kicking his head off

He will be back. Anybody with that kind of knock out power is going to have a career. He will still make a lot of money in his career if he plays his cards right. He now needs to go knock out a few 4th tier fighters and get the idiots of the world, which there are many, screaming his name again.

I am already reading that Miranda inexplicably didn't keep his hands up in the second fight vs the first fight, which of course, is why he lost. :nut

Miranda will be back, hes got the power and hes tough.

Like someone said he needs to go knock out a 3/4 C levels guys and do it impressively and he'll be back knocking on the dorr for a title hes young and only 30-3-0.

Don't generalize the whole sport with one bad expereince ..Have you ever watched any of Frank Shamrockk's matches? Watch his fight with Phil Maroney ..There is nothing boring about that or George St.Pierre Matt Hughes fights !

He would fit in well with all of the other Glass Jaw MMA fighters.

Why do I say what? He can't beat the top level guys in boxing and I don't shit about what mma fighters make so I was wondering if it would ba better career move to switch.

Id love to see it and I think he'd be very good but then some boxers like Oscar and Floyd stray away from their interest in it after they finally experience some professional trainers:lol:
