    LMAO

    2019 where boxers get credit for knowing how to throw a punch:

    "throw a variety of different punches (uppercuts, jab, cross etc), more than most HW's exhibit."

    I'd be concerned if any puncher in the professional ranks did not know how to throw a jab, cross or uppercut, or all of them.

    Well Miller like to come forward and keep that head somewhat low and infront like Chisora.

    And AJ just loooovess to uppercut. Arguably one of his best shots.

    There are too many calories in Joshua's uppercuts for Miller to survive.

    I think Miller lasts longer than Weak One trick pony Whyte. Sorry if thats hurts your feelings.

    Miller will get stopped mid rounds, he’s made for AJ

    I’ve seen AJ feast on fat boys when he was in the amateurs

    Miller is the perfect opponent for AJ’s USA coming out party

    Well I am not Whyte, so it doesn't hurt my feelings.

    And even if I was Whyte, it wouldn't be true.

    He has plenty of devastating punches in his arsenal, three to be exact.

    You are just upset because Miller doesn't have one.

    yeh rightio then... I think hes more durable than whyte. he lasts longer in this fight than whyte did against Joshua. I dont think Joshua KTFO Miller like he did Whyte, due to having a far better chin, more defensive awareness and being able to lay on joshua with his mammoth size.

    Coolio, time will tell. We can truly lay this to rest and see how they both fair against each other now that all will be in their primes and very little more can be changed about them.

    I disagree of course with your assessment, 4 years is a long time for Whyte who has developed tremendously.

    I genuinely see Whyte as the biggest threat to AJ right now.

    We'll see.

    Miller winning would be a bigger upset than Tyson v Douglas.

    It's HW boxing so anything can happen but I would be surprised if Miller can walk through Joshua's punches.

    Miller's size will be a detriment as I can't see him getting out of the way and his chin will surely be tested.

    How Joshua beats Miller will be the only interesting aspect of the fight.

    It's not a bad fight. Miller is a solid top ten guy in his prime. AJ has a way of getting himself in some trouble, only to land his bombs when he needs them the most.

    I think Joshua takes the decision here, with Miller having some moments.

    Miller isn't terrible but I'm not sure it's an interesting fight outside of Miller being an unknown in terms of his ceiling.

    It's a good fight. Miller in my opinion is better than Parker, Chisora, Takam, etc.

    Foreman was a big underdog going into Frazier 1. Never count out an opponent when the Heavies fight.

    It is very concerning. Should I start posting videos of the rudimentary skill sets of some boxers?

    You know (if you are a true fan and not just a troll), that a number of boxers are lumbering fools with no real sense of when and what
    to throw during fights.

    Its defiantly intersting, very? It could be if Miller puts up a good fight. I do expect Joshua to have full control of this fight, be aggressive and knock Miller out and ive seen Miller taking as much as he is giving at times against a few Journey men. But Takam and Povetkin gave Joshua moments and although not like for like there is similarity in styles how they like to get close and throw wide or looping hooks and thats exactly how Povetkin and Takam got their moments. Also for a fat lad Millers workrate is high. If, and its maybe a big if, Miller can force his game on Joshua a bit i can see Joshua not being comfortable with it.

    I know its getting **** on from the haters but they are just a minority when it comes to the worlds Boxing fans, Mostly American based PBC fanatics they are going to hate on Joshua no matter what he does or how well he does it. Fair enough its not as exciting or as interesting to us Boxing fans as Fury Wilder 2 but there is no other opponent out there that could top that right now. But Miller isnt bad, hes ranked highly for a reason, hes obviously doing something right. Its a good fight, nothing exciting cuz we pretty much expect the AJ comfotable win but id say there is certainly an element of "you never know".
