Does anyone actually think Jarrell Miller has a chance against Joshua or Wilder?

    It seems some people are making him out to be the boogeyman in the division. I think even with Wilder's subpar skills, he will still be able to comfortably handle Miller and evade the majority of his predictable telegraphed shots. As for Joshua, I think AJ goes right through him... I don't think it will be competitive in the slightest. I would bet AJ to knock him out in less than 5 rounds. There is nothing Miller has to trouble Joshua - he's slow, predictable and too big of a target to miss. I really do think it would be an easy nights work for AJ if the fight is official.

    I agree with all of that but I just feel Miller is too solid for AJ to walk through, Takam has a similar build to Miller and AJ had a hard time hurting him, AJ might panic if he can`t hurt Miller, but yes Miller`s fundamentals are awful.

    Miller takes the better shot but Whyte is far more skilled than Miller and has a better defense, I would have liked to have seen Miller fight Whyte and the winner then fight AJ.

    AJ is obviously a clear favourite given his record but you can make an argument for Miller. For instance, Takam showed that if you can endure some hard rounds there's a chance that AJ's engine will start to sputter. Miller looks to have a similar capacity to take a punch coupled with an impressive engine and the additional weight that could prove tiring if he can get in close. If Miller can stay in the fight and force AJ to maintain a high workrate there may be opportunities for him later in the contest.

    He might have a chance against Wilder. Wilder gets outboxed by mediocre opposition. Miller has a decent skill set that can put Wilder in trouble.

    He doesn't stand a chance against AJ.

    He's too slow and lacks power and variety of skills to trouble either Joshua or Wilder. I give him virtually no chance.

    Nah. I think Joshua would knock out Whyte if they met again but at least with Whyte, he definitely hits hard enough to cause an upset. I don’t get that feeling with Miller.

    Mostly a gigantic no but at the same time Joshua and Wilder have some glaring weaknesses so if somebody saw some dream scenario in their head it probably wouldn't be too farfectched sounding at the moment at the moment to me.

    By my reckoning Miller has roughly a punchers chance of defeating Joshua whilst the odds of him defeating Wilder are closer to 50/50, with Wilder being a slight favorite.

    AJ's nose was also nearly broken by a really bad accidental headbutt early on in the Takam fight which would've affected his breathing and thus "his engine". Who knows maybe Miller will get an early punch which will do the same and AJ's stamina is bad anyway just saying. Either way he couldn't put Takam down that fight and if Takam had more power he could've been in trouble so you're right.

    Hes got a chance, they all do. But id call it a slim chance. Hes always on your chest trying to walk right into you and leaving no gap. Joshua didnt look too comfortable when Takam was trying similar. Also Povetkin was keeping right in front of him. I think Miller fights in a way Joshua isnt overly keen on but then Joshua beat Takam and Povetkin and to date Miller hasnt proven hes any better than those 2.

    Hes got a chance, slim one but theres no way my money wouldnt be going on AJ.

    Stylistically he is a perfect matchup for AJ but he causes Wilder all sorts of problems.

    Agreed. Wilder is always vulnerable, in a number of ways.
