Edison Miranda Interview # 2 - 5/14/08
Where do you stands on Kesslers claim that your own team were the one's who made sure there was no fight?
Kessler and his team are a joke. They ran away like a scared mouse. I had agreed to fight Abraham and when they knew I was in final negotiations, they came running back.
Did you lose respect for Kessler because of this whole situation?
I am not sure it was all Kessler that had the problem. I hear his promoter is a bad person. If he wants to fight me, I will be around after I beat up Abraham again.
Do you still have the burning desire to fight Jermain Taylor?
Of course. That will be a fun fight for me. Ever since he stole the belt from Bernard Hopkins I have wanted to show him how to fight like a real man. If he wants to get beat up at Super Middleweight, I will take the job.
What were your thoughts on the Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins fight?
Bernard won the fight. Calzaghe slaps like a little girl. I hope to fight him before he retires. If he slaps me one time I will knock his ass threw the ropes.
How long do you see Abraham lasting in the rematch?
No more then 7 rounds. He has a good defense so I will be patient and wear him down.
Will you do us all a favor and break his jaw again?
(laughing) He is full of steel on his left side. I will work hard on my left uppercut for you. I will do him a favor and even out his jaw line on the right side. It may be hard to improve that ugly face, but I will do my best.
How is training coming along and what is your current weight?
Training is doing great. I just started my heavy sparring. I am 188lbs right now and will stay at this weight for another few weeks. I will drop to 176lbs two weeks before the fight and slowly take off the final 10lbs.
It's a known fact that you weighed over 190 against david banks on espn 2's FNF. There is
currently a fighter named David Haye who is probabley about 10 pounds bigger than you and he is looking to take over the heavyweight division. What are your thoughts on that and do you ever plan on pulling a Roy Jones and going up to heavyweight?
If there was anyone decent to fight at heavyweight I would make the move. Let Haye make a statement for a few years and enjoy the spotlight. When the time is right I will move up to heavyweight and not only steal his belts, but all the pretty women that follow him around.
Now I'm going to play a little game, Im going to say a word or phrase and your going to tell me the first thing that comes to mind.

Anything else to say to your fans Greg or Pantera?
Sorry for the delays in getting you these answers. There has been a lot going on with getting his camp organized. I can tell you he is extremely motivated for this fight against Abraham. He wants to kill him! There is no playing when he says he does not like him. This fight might get scary before the bell even rings!
Thanks Pantera and Greg. We greatly appreciate it once again. Good luck in the future from all your fans at boxingforum.com. And personally, Its an honor to talk to such a nice man with such a killer instinct in the ring. You remind me of my favorite fighter of all time, Mike Tyson
