he needs to fight regular. he isnt at the level or fighting twice a year and being able to continue this
Likely true. It will be some journeyman who used to be a fringe contender, now approaching their 40's. And Miller will outweigh anyone. He is almost the same size as Valuev
It just seems like Miller is refusing to acknowledge the division is going back to the way it should be pre-klit where the contenders actually fight each other. If he wants to end the Oquendo saga fine, just don’t call it a “legacy fight” bc it’s not, it’s a mercy killing. After that he can set about proving himself as a worthy challenger by beating someone like Ortiz or Whyte.
Per Bad Left hook, Miller is headlining the card featuring Brandon Rios vs. Ramon Alvarez and Gabriel Rosado vs. Luis Arias as well and its possible Luis Ortiz could be making his DAZN/Matchroom deal debut on the card. Miller vs Ortiz?
a 41 year old former LHW, who was KO'd by Eric Molina? So we should be heralding this win? oh and the WBA regular is not a world title.
lol, obviously forgot to read the rest of the conversation? Maybe you should herald that first. There's only one world champion, Anthony Joshua. But value is what people ascribe to it. The WBA belt is promoted as a world championship belt, thus yes, its a world title.
i didn't forget, i read it, all you said was you agree Miller gives top 10 HWs a tough fight and he needs to step up....after he gets the WBA bauble. Why would i praise your reply? so is the IBO, WBU etc. but it doesn't make them legitimate world titles. Whoever wins that regular belt can't be calling themselves world champion...because they're not.
I didn't say that, your talking **** and making it up as you go because you didn't read it the first time and now look like a clown. Joshua has the IBO title, as did Klitschko and Lewis, seems pretty legitimate to me. If Joshua is the champion, none of the belts matter. Like I said, value is what people ascribe to it, some people value cash, others gold. If you want to cry about people paying to watch Miller fight for his WBA world championship belt, then go stand out the front of the arena and tell them all about it.
nope, i did read it, and you said exactly what i said you did....here's what someone replied to you and here is what you said. Well, you and Chris EUbank Jr are the only ones who deem it legitimate then. i don't care if people pay to watch Miller, i'm just saying, the WBA regular isn't a proper world title. i could make a world title made out of papier mache and value it a world title, it doesn't make it so
Can you understand English ok? I said I agree Adamek is shot and was never a legit HW, even the person I was talking too understood that, as this is what we were talking about in our conversation, which you didn't read. Hhhmmm seems like Joshua, Klitschko and Lewis among all the others who have carried the IBO belt consider it pretty legitimate to pay the sanctioning fees to fight for that title, feel free to let them know. Might as well write the WBA and tell them they are not a real boxing organization while you're at it.
I kind of hope it's Trevor Bryan. I didn't know much about him so I started searching for his fights a few months back. He was close to a 300 pounder himself as an amateur and then he lost weight when he turned pro. He's probably the only guy who has held a heavyweight title in the last 100 years whose title-winning fight isn't around. I've seen clips of the knockout. But not much else from that fight. (If anyone has a link, please share it.) But he seems to be fairly skilled. Bryan and Miller might be a good fight. With Fres Oquendo, who knows. He's really only in this position because he won a lawsuit after they didn't pay him when he lost to Chagaev and literally everyone they've matched him with since has failed a drug test. It's one of the most bizarre situations in the sport's history, to be honest. So I kind of hope it's Bryan and Miller. Here are Bryan and Miller Sparring each other two years ago.

I can, just when I speak or type, I reply to things in the order that they’re said, maybe consider that. You also going to list out the amount of people who haven’t paid the sanctioning fees for them? There’s a reason AJ is considered to have “3 of the 4” HW belts. But the WBA are a real boxing organisation? The Super title is the world title, the regular title is nothing more than a mandatory belt. You can argue all day, but you’re still wrong. There are 4 legitimate world titles & the WBA regular & IBO aren’t two of them
They've sparred. So Bryan wouldn't be surprised at anything he's seeing. Fres moved a lot, but he was pretty stiff and upright even in his prime. I'd be afraid he'd break in half at this point.
Cool video. The narration by Briggs was amusing, with the constant "Let's go champ". It was like a weird chant. Looked like Miller was having his way with Bryant. Even when Bryant was tagging him it looked like Miller was going easy on him and letting him get some shots in. Who knows, though, can't read all to much into sparring. Either way, Miller will be a huge favorite but I agree, Bryan would be a better option than Oquendo.
