    Miller was stunned a few times last night, and Ibeh got to him a couple of times as well. I'm a long time fan of Miller and was rooting for him against AJ the first time. But the question is, how many flush straight rights can Miller walk through? With age, his chin is bound to crack eventually, so it has the potential to be a Dalton Smith-Subriel Matias like scenario. So if AJ can catch him with something vicious early and based on Miller's track record, I'd say that's a probability. It'll probably make him gunshy and a sitting target. But if Miller's chin can hold up. AJ is in for another long and potentially disappointing night.

    With Miller, he has an iron chin but he is very hittable. He took many shots in numerous fights. As Mariusz Wach example shows, even iron chins are softened with time and mileage, and pretty badly.

    When people ask the question "who could Joshua have fought who he didn't fight who was more of a challenge then those he did fight?". Millers one of the guys on that list for sure.

    Miller in like 2021 is more of a serious HW then Miller today. Miller can win.

    Christ. I had to check that myself. A top 15 USA fighter yesteryear would be considered world class these days

    Imagine AJ beats Miller on his US debut, and then Fury takes care of Wilder in his rematch. The undisputed would have been massive stateside

    Jake Pauls rated in the top 100 jfc.

    Honest question did he make a full time move to HW or is this rating just because he fought AJ and they are converting his CW rank to HW? Cause if hes moving to HW he should retire. If hes a CW he could totally fenegle the Zuffites into giving him a shot.

    Its hard to say as we dont know what AJ has left. Miller has a high punch output but he isnt a big puncher and he is slow, he also leaves himself open, so with that being said, I'd favour AJ to stop him, but Miller is durable and if AJ cant put a dent in him early then as AJ slows down and tires, Miller could force a stoppage...I doubt it though, Miller is hittable and AJ hits very hard and I'd expect that to play a part assuming AJ isnt too gun shy.

    The rating must surely be a case of mathematics

    Miller impressed me last night, and he has a better chin than Ruiz. Probably a better chin than anyone Joshua has beaten and that pressure is relentless. If Miller had power joshua would be a sitting duck, no way he isn't taking this fight he isn't mentally strong enough

    I would love to see Miller vs Ajagba tho.

    Pre crash AJ would beat Miller convincingly. Post crash its impossible to say until he shows his current form.

    AJ has fought DD, Usyk x2, Klitschko, Povetkin, immediate Ruiz rematch after getting plastered by him... but hes not mentally strong enough to fight Miller?

    Miller is getting very overrated.

    Joshua fans in a nutshell. Reminiscent of the "Otto Wallin was top 10" crowd.
