    Lol Duhaupas is argubaly 20 name imo but let’s look at the cans Pulev has been beating. The ghost of Samuel peters and a walking corpse in the form of kingpin Johnson. I’m not even a Miller fan but I’m telling you he is gunna be very difficult to beat, the only guys I would pick against him comfortably is Wilder, Joshua and Ortiz. He is live against anyone else.

    As a person Miller seems like a decent guy but I can’t be doing with him just coming in fatter and fatter each time he fights,it’s like one of his main weapons,I like to see him get beat and you never know Pulev May just be the one to do it?

    Please, Pulev doesn't have the power to keep Miller off him, the fitness and stamina to outhustle him, or the legs to run from him. I have no idea where it has come from that Pulev is mobile or a great mover? He has a good jab and is good at moving in and out of range (against boxers), but that's easily nullified by a guy who is in his face 12/3 forcing him to fight his fight, as Miller does, Pulev cant run, hes stands still as much as possible when out of range just to conserve energy. Miller would feel those shots alright, it would be like a mosquito landing on his oaktree head. Pulev pulls out of international fights at the last minute last I heard, and won't fight at his age unless it's in Bulgaria, go figure. He's at the end of his run, Miller brings way too much pressure for Pulev and eats him alive, prime or old.

    If all of this is true then Miller should have no problem fighting in Bulgaria. End of discussion.

    Yeah he better get his fat ass over there, although I don’t think the split is fair, 500k is still more than Miller can get anywhere else at the moment.

    Good to see I'm not the only person who isn't fooled by someone bouncing up and down and mistaking that for good movement. Pulev has never been a good mover when forced to move.

    Doubt he gets that much if it goes to purse bids again I doubt the bid will be large as the Whyte bid, Whyte was filling the O2 and headlining on SKY, Miller fights on under cards to a half empty Barclays center. Whyte was going to get 25% or $375K.

    Miller as the 3rd ranked fighter for the IBF also gets 25%. Can't see Epic bidding $1.5 mill again knowing that a bigger fight only drew 800K bids from the other promoters. At best they'll bid $1 mill for Pulev/Miller and still win by a landslide, so Miller gets 250K to fight in Bulgaria with Pulev's choice of referee and judges.

    Miller is the most underrated fighter - at least at the already established top 20 fighter scene.

    I honestly think that Miller can be Joshua's kryptonite.

    Well he's yet to prove it. I was more impressed with him when he was lighter years ago, vids of him sparring with Kownacki showed he used to move his head pretty well, now he's got all this extra weight he's far too hittable. I don't think he can stand toe to toe with Joshua he's too easy to hit and doesn't have the power.

    Also when was the last time such an overweight fighter broke through and was a serious contender? Foreman?

    We've seen Arreola's, Ruiz Jr's, Solis' all show up overweight all give their fans hope and they all failed when they stepped up. I see Miller in a similar mould. He'll look good until he steps up and suddenly all that weight will become a hindrance against better opposition.

    Miller doesn't hit that hard, but even he might starch that glass jawed fraud Wilder. Don't forget that Nichols and Sconiers, those two stellar pugilistic specimens, had Wilder on the canvas!!
