    Miller is good, and he's ****ing huge. What fight did he do bad in for people to be shitting on this fight? Every time i've seen him fight he's been like a force of nature, ****ing impressing. We already saw Joshua - Whyte and Wilder wont fight Joshua. He demod Gerald Washington with the same ease as Wilder, maybe better.

    I know he hasn't proven it , but Miller vs Whyte would probably be a toss up.

    Yeh Miller brings some heat, more heat than whyte, bigger, stronger and tougher. It will be a entertaining fight for aslong as it lasts, Joshua will need to box and only box in this one. Joshua gets a controversial stoppage late on, on a slightly damaged but still game Miller.

    Although Miller has only fought small punchers as of now.

    Yes it's interesting and I'm looking forward to it. No it's not Wilder or Fury but Miller is still a top 10 guy and as you say his size is going to give anyone pause for thought.

    Miller is a binman with 19 chins. It's an awful fight. AJ is ducking Pulev again.

    probably because its not the fight everyone wanted originally.
    it would be different if the others were all tied up (2 out of the 3 are fighting each other fo the wbc title) the 3rd got knocked out already by joshua.

    also

    haters gonna hate

    Miller hasn't earned the fight but it's interesting nonetheless given Miller's size (width) and good work rate as well as his mouth which will be working overtime in the build up.

    But he's not much of a boxer and is slow so i'd expect Joshua to break him down from the start and get a mid to late stoppage.

    No, it's not interesting at all. If you can't move, you lose. Miller may put the heat on, but that will only end in embarrassment. AJ is unbeatable if you choose to stand and trade. He'll bully Miller to the ropes and drain him in clinches. And that's all Miller knows, he can't move. And AJ has choices here. He doesn't even have to fight up close if he doesn't want to. He can easily school Miller to a decision if he wants to play it safe. Miller gets hit too much. Against an amazing combination puncher like AJ that can only end in a bad knockout defeat.

    whyte landed a lucky left hook, then got comprehensively outboxed by Joshua, then almost decapitated.

    not saying whyte doesnt deserve a rematch, but he cannot refuse terms.

    I agree. That did happen.

    A long time ago, in a time period that was far, far away.... from today.

    In the year 2019 the left hook of Whyte is better than all of Millers punches put together... your local kebab shop owner Miller ain't got a punch to hurt Joshua with.

    Boy I can't wait to see your bubble burst.

    It's quite interesting and alot of people are simply hating.

    1. To date, no fighter has even been able to stop Miller's forward progress and him from walking them down let alone hurt him, he's shown an excellent chin and out of this world stamina and the ability to throw way more punches than the average HW despite his size.

    2. He has shown the ability to throw a variety of different punches (uppercuts, jab, cross etc), more than most HW's exhibit. Also, he has shown good punch placement.

    3.. He's beaten 3 top 15ish guys (all former title challengers)

    4. Joshua tee'd off on Carlos Takam without fear of any incoming shots but couldn't put him away (despite the fact that he had been stopped before brutally by Povetkin), but he's gonna just run over Miller that hasn't even shown that type of liability yet?

    5. People are saying Miller is slow and doesn't move. He hasn't needed to because he comes forward and attacks (successfully). Joshua ain't fought this type of fighter yet. Someone who wants to walk you down and is willing to fight on the inside.

    6. There are some that are saying Joshua will bully Miller. I have seen no proof yet that he can push a 300 lb man around the ring. We've already seen however Miller pushing people Joshua's size around and walking through shots.

    This is a very good fight and is not a walkover. I'm not predicting a winner but if Joshua wins, I don't think he stops Miller. And I wouldn't be woefully shocked if Miller won.

    It seems interesting, but it’ll depend on two things. First, It depends on how well Miller takes Joshua’s punches. Defense IS NOT his strong suit, he’s going to get hit....a lot. Second is if(huge if) he can, can he apply pressure and maintain his work rate Consistently enough to wear Joshua out. If not it’s either an early knockout, or a lopsided, dull decision.
