    You obviously did not see that fight. Parker won a squeaker.

    AJ haters and huggers might feel differently (in opposite directions) but honestly this is more or less a lateral move from Miller in h2h terms, all things considered.

    Joshua vs. Ruiz = Golovkin vs. Rolls.

    A total trainwreck.

    It's the equivalent of those wrestling shows where the star comes out against the fat guy in the black tights who goes through the motions before being demolished ... before the star talks about who he's going to fight at the next Wrestlemania.

    Total waste.

    Whyte already turned down the fight against AJ at Wembley before AJ and Miller was sorted. Whyte has since then been arranged to fight Rivas (which
    goes with Whytes ESPN American rights deal).

    Usyk managment already said they want atleast 1 or HW fights before AJ. Usyk has a headline fight arranged against TAkam next month.

    Why cancel the show? They have alrady sold 17000 ticket and apparently 10,000 is Brits flying across the pond.

    **** show? They offered the two biggest name replacement fighters the fight but Ortiz and Kownacki want nothing to do with the AJ fight ( Haymon influence?). The most likely replacement is one of Hunter, Ruiz and Kabayel and all 3 of them are better fighters than Brezeale and levels above Schwarz. So what does that make Wilder vs Breazeale and Fury vs Schwarz if AJ vs one of them is a so called "**** show".

    To be fair Ruiz Jr won't take PEDS like Miller.

    He's happy to come in out of shape, and get knocked out for a few mil

    Having a close fight with Parker is literally better than anything Miller has done.

    Your post just seems very ironic to me.

    You complain about his resume. Millers resume is also complete garbage. Millers resume is laughable. Ruiz has actually fought Parker. Miller has fought... nobody.

    You complain that all he does is walk forward throwing a 1-2.
    And... what does Miller do?

    You say his greatest accomplishment is a close fight with Parker...
    Millers accomplishment is... what?

    You complain he doesnt take boxing seriously...
    And Miller does?

    You say hes a fat plodder...
    Miller is... what exactly? A not quite as fat plodder? With.. no speed? Ok lol.


    You and I (and seemingly many boxing fans) simply have extremely different gauges of Miller.

    Miller is a patsy that is going to be completely dominated when he steps up to the Parker level.

    And yes, Ruiz himself would beat him.

    We seem to disagree. Time will tell. I doubt Miller ever is competitive with a top 5 guy. We will see though.

    my point was, that AJ already faced Parker... and if AJ faces Ruiz, it ain't gonna be no squeaker lol...

    I just want my money back. Paid for tickets for the original fight. Ticketmaster says no refunds because they are getting a replacement fighter. I’m calling it fraud. And they should refund money and issue new tickets with new prices.

    Ruiz is a better boxer than Miller but at least Miller had some sort of unknown factor given his sheer size.

    Ruiz is a small fat HW with some skills. He'll get predictably demolished by Joshua.
