    There`s no way Miller can box with Fury`s speed and he doesn`t have his reach bad comparison, ouch! lol!

    Miller is one of the easiest heavyweights to hit currently active ffs! Major disservice to Bruno to think he couldn't jab Millers fat head repeatedly.

    Fat head! On a side note do you think Frank would have cracked during a presser if Miller used the antics he used on AJ at their presser? Frank tended to crack under big fight pressure like in his rematch with Tyson.

    I like big baby but we're gonna have to see how he does against the elite level before judging his abilities, he hasn't shown that much so far besides a good chin, surprisingly good stamina and the slowest hands in the sport. I think. Bruno is too explosive for him but like I said we'll need to see more of him.

    Bruno didn't lose to Miller level fighters;

    Frank's losses are as follows:

    L10 vs James Smith
    L11 vs Tim Witherspoon
    L5 vs Mike Tyson
    L7 vs Lennox Lewis
    L3 vs Mike Tyson

    I'd favor Bruno as he's far more proven and has been pretty competitive against fighters who are more proven and better than Miller.

    Smith was really bad against Bruno, Witherspoon was in similar shape to Miller v Bruno, Tyson was out of sorts without Rooney, Lewis was dreadful in his fight v Frank and Tyson wasn`t great against Frank in there rematch but his body was more defined than it was in his first fight v Bruno and he was in far better shape than Miller is, having said that Tyson`s training mainly consisted of justy lifting weights under Jay Bright who helpe train him for the Douglas fight which is how Miller trains, except Miller lifts far more weight than Tyson did which may be a plus for him or a negative.

    It's a stretch to say Miller is not on Bonecrusher's level.

    Miller ain't Tyson. Big Frank is snapping that head back all damn day.

    I believe Miller may have had a chance against Tyson in `89 and `96 because he wasn`t the same fighter at all after Rooney left his corner, Miller would done better than Bruno v Tyson in their second bout and maybe their first bout too, he certainly would have lasted longer than 5 rounds he has better stamina and a better chin than Frank had.

    Which proven heavyweight has ever landed multiple shots on Millers chin? He hasn't even fought anyone above C level.

    Bruno would have avoided Miller if he'd been around in the late 80s and early 90s, just like he avoided all big punching contenders with an intact 0. I'll give you examples like Gary Mason and Ray Mercer who Bruno never went near. That said, I think he could edge Miller on points if he worked him on the jab and spoiled him inside.
