    If he fights Miller in America it’s not gunna look good that he turned down Wilders 50 million offer to come to the US.

    With that being said AJ beats him. I think it maybe goes the distance or a late stoppage, something tells Miller is durable.

    Joshua UD. I don't see him taking risks to force a stoppage unless he has to.

    I hate to see Miller getting a shot after ducking pulev in an eliminator

    that's no slight on Joshua just the politics

    Because reasons.

    What part of "possibly" being the first word of the OP tripped you up?

    I think some of you are underestimating Miller, he does possess certain assets which could make him a difficult opponent. His sheer size is one, his stamina and capacity to keep throwing another. He also appears to have a particularly good chin. He may not be a skilled technician, but he'a legitimate top ten guy even without a signature win on his record.

    The big danger to me would be if AJ bulked up to match Miller for size, or at least negate some of the imbalance and then gasses because he's beyond his fighting weight. Miller doesn't seem to have a big punch, but he can keep throwing and that may lead to cumulative damage.

    Anyway, he's good fun in the buildup and if we can't have AJ vs Wilder or Fury this is a fight I'd like to see. AJ to win by KO, but Miller to do better than some here think.

    It definitely won't be Fury or Wilder, they're having their rematch first things first.

    It will either be that come mid-January we see Hearn announce Joshua vs. Whyte II at Wembley, or else Joshua vs. Miller on either side of the Atlantic. I'd say less than 15% chance of literally anything else happening.

    I agree 100%. Miller is the biggest question mark to me in the division. I have no interest in a Whyte AJ redo, but if AJ doesn't face one of the other big three or Usyk next, I'd be vastly more interested in him fighting Miller than any other opponent.

    Miller's sheer weight, workrate, accumulative power, and apparent chin leave me with (some) legitimate question as to the possibility of success at the highest levels for him. I THINK AJ beats him handily. But I'm much less certain of that than I am for Whyte or Pulev.

    But, I'd be shocked if his next fight wasn't against Whyte in Wembley. Maybe Miller in autumn in the us.

    If I were Eddie I would be moving away from the April Wembley date, at least if he can't get wilder. He's done Wembley a few times in a row and I think they were struggling with the povetkin sales. Better to get aj some experience away from home with a decent amount of control over venue etc and start building AJ in a new market.

    It's essentially long been the plan in any case to help build a super fight against wilder.

    Miller has a decent chin, but I don't think its astonishingly great, so if he gets nailed clean as much as he did against Dinu in the first two rounds, then AJ wins by KO, and early, although if his chin is next level, **** it, Big Baby by late body shot KO.

    I'm sure Joshua would like to fight at MSG but with Fury getting robbed on the cards in a very dominate performance it does raise questions.

    It's risky fighting in the US for any visiting fighter. If it goes the distance is there any guarantees that Joshua gets the nod.

    Would like to see Joshua on the road myself, just to see how he handles it. He's had home advantage for such a long time.

    Fair enough. I've previously had people jump down my throat demanding sources (there was, incidentally, a widespread article just yesterday in which Dillian himself was interviewed saying he believed Miller would get the call ahead of him for April) when I never even made any declarative statements
