    Whyte can’t go 12 with Miller unless he noticeably improves his conditioning. You’re talking about a guy who barely finished against Parker, who is a very passive fighter. Miller, at 300+, would bull forward trying to throw 80 punches per round. Whyte would fold before the tenth. It’s a nightmare matchup for him.

    Miller’s been able to use his weight as an advantage. As soon as he steps up I reckon his weight will decidedly be a disadvantage.

    I’m not sure Whyte’s the guy to do it, but he’s impressed me more than Miller, just on opposition.

    Can Miller throw 80 punches a round for 12 weight 320 against a decent opponent? I'd wager not.

    The promotion would be insane, I've always felt that Whyte-Miller-Chisora would give us modern classics.

    Where has this stuff about miller having a great chin come from? I’m not saying he hasn’t but it’s certainly not been proven.

    He took flush shots by Crocop with kickboxing gloves and headkicks as it was nothing. Never being down as a kickboxing amateur & pro.

    If he's fighting Whyte, he isn't really in there with a decent opponent.

    Whyte's not terrible. He's not great but he's no ****ing shot to pieces Adamek or the ghost of Oquendo.

    He barely reached the finish line against Chisora and Parker. If he wants to finish the fight against Miller, he'll need to drop 15-20 pounds to have a chance. It takes a different level of stamina to fight an agressive 300 pounder compared to a typical heavyweight.

    You havent seen his kickboxing days. Miller used to take flying kicks, elbow and knee smashes to the head, along with punches, never flinched, never hurt or down. Jarrel Miller has the chin Joseph Parker dreams about.

    Yet Tyson Fury claims to have knocked him down multiple times in sparring.

    The Whyte knock downs for Parker were anomolies given he was clipped clean with a headbutt - Whyte vs Miller would be an interesting fight, though it seems that Luis Ortiz vs Whyte is more likely at this stage

    Lol Miller has never been buzzed, hurt or down, in either his boxing or kickboxing career. And hes spent his life sparring with Kownacki and Shannon the Cannon Briggs. Fury couldnt knock the fluff of a cuppacino, and thats when he was on the gear. Whyte vs Ortiz would be a good fight, but Ortiz handlers wont let it happen. Most likely Whyte v Chisora 2 next, and Miller vs whoever is game enough to step in the ring with him.

    Miller's resume is almost as bad as Wilders.

    Championship rounds definitely wouldn't be action packed!

    They would be nonexistent.
