    His press conferences might be entertaining, [to some]his fights seldom are.

    They all need to sort it out and fight each other.

    Depends what you like - if you’re after a big stoppage - Fury’s not for you - the amount of punches he threw against Klitch and Wilder was minimal, but i was on the edge of my seat for both - great tactician

    It’s less about the ranking, more about the name.

    And Dillian Whyte was unranked in those rankings when AJ beat him, so it cuts both ways.

    Jarrell Miller is an overrated bum. Guys from New York with big mouths do tend to get inflated rankings. I don't see any compelling reason why he's so prominent in "top 10s" based on what he's actually done in the ring. Those ones that have him as high as 6 are well off. There are 6 obvious heavyweights at least who should be above him.

    But I do think he's got a better case than Tom Schwarz.

    Out of the 3 fights lined up, Fury's is the worst I would say. Miller probably the best. But they are all disappointing and my interest in all 3 of the big names at the weight has largely evaporated.

    Their fights after this aren't likely to satisfy in the sense of any of them fighting each other. Fury or AJ will take on Pulev. AJ or WIlder will fight Whyte. Likely we get Fury-Rivas, AJ-Pulev, WIlder-Whyte. And after that...****, MAYBE we get a fight we want. The Fury-Wilder rematch remains most likely, in my opinion.

    **** this division, **** these greedy boxers and **** their greedy handlers. If any of your money goes toward their upcoming fights then **** you, you're complicit in this nonsense.

    Miller is the NABA champion (WBA) and also held the NABO (WBO) belt.

    Schwarz has held the WBO 'youth' and the WBO inter continental belts.

    Pulev turned him down a while back, Wilder & Fury don't want him, there really isn't much left is there?

    I was in mid air when Wilder decked him - passed out with shock when he somehow heard the final bell
