    Simply pointing out your hypocrisy. 100% guaranteed you'd be singing a different tune had it been Wilder/Miller that was being talked about.

    Yes you do deflect and constantly. You'll never respond directly to a question. That by definition is deflection.

    Again, Wilder. Wilder. Wilder.

    I guess you can't talk about Joshua Miller anymore, because you've already called it a 'good fight' and a 'mismatch' in the same hour.

    But I'm the hypocrite?

    solid was the word. It's a solid enough fight in the current landscape. Miller would obviously be a dog but so would anyone else in the division. On paper he has the style and attributes to potentially ask some questions.

    You're great at taking and twisting things out of context. I don't think Wilder, Ortiz, Parker and maybe even Povetkin would be that competitive either... But they would definitely be solid - if not GOOD fights within the context of the division. Parker and Wilder might not do as good as Klitschko despite holding titles, does that mean they're not solid fights despite being unification's? Nothing involving Joshua is a good fight then..... There's at best 4 fights right now involving Joshua without Miller that are as good or better. So explain how Miller/Joshua is such a woeful fight? By current HW standards it's a solid fight.

    Hearn said publicly and repeatedly Parker only deserved 20/80. That's not how you make a unification fight. He might as well have told them to go to hell.

    Joshua-Miller isn't the biggest fight since Lewis-Tyson neither....

    Huh? Never said Miller wasn't good. Just that Wach was too, and had about a 30% chance of winning. I think the fight more or less bore that out, minus the broken hand.

    Id like to see Miller take a few more fights before. He looked bad in his last fight and he himself acknowledged that there is lots of work to do.
    And doesn't Joshua have one more fight with SHO?

    Wilder vs Whyte on the undercard of a Joshua vs miller fight early next year in the UK makes a lot of sense.

    2 Brits and 2 Americans raising the profile in both countries before Joshua vs Wilder in the summer.

    Big Scoffy Miller at a projected 320lb for Femi will be good prep for 350lb Fury later in 2018.

    Probably an entertaining fight but I think AJ handles him by the mid rounds. Miller is alright, switch hit quite effectively and showed some good body work against Wach. But Wach is slow as **** and looked in worse shape than usual. He hit Miller too easily for my liking too, particularly with the jab, though to his credit Wach does have a decent jab

    I know unification are different..but IBF mandatory gets 25% after purse bids so why the hell would Parkers team agree to a unification of 20% ?

    i would be happy with a miller fight next up for joshua or wilder
    he is a top 10 fighter / not a threat to either IMO but he will try his hardest /wont lay down and will give it a go.

    i think outside of fury /ortiz/povetkin/parker/joshua/wilder / at the moment i cant see no one else getting a win bar haye but he has not fought anyone since klitchko so if they do not fight each other then fighting miller is fine for anyon of them

    I think hearn said that he never gave Parker an offer, his team just said he did by his starting point would be 20%.
    Parkers team said 40% which is a lot more realistic than wilder.
    That would just be negotiations, they would then meet somewhere in the middle at like 33% or 35%.

    Wilder and parker fans need to stop all thus Joshua is ducking crap, i used to be very hard on Joshua but he hasnt been pro long and has stepped up and took challenges .he faced wlad, he isn't going to be running from the bum slayer from Alabama and parker
