    What??? Not even bottom 15. Do you realize how awful the standard of heavyweight title challengers in the last 15 years has been? If anything Miller would arguably make a top 15.

    Wilder, nor Joshua had beaten a top 10 opponent before their title shots.
    Nor had Fury for that matter.

    This fight is a win-win for Miller.

    If he wins, he's the heavyweight champion of the world.

    If he loses, he can say he wasn't ready or to fat!

    True, even if he loses, as long as he doesn't get annihilated and lasts a few rounds he could easily get another big fight, maybe Whyte, Uysk, Parker, Povetkin etc and still make money. The exposure he'll get from fighting Joshua will make him a known quantity to UK fans and make him a viable option for a number of lucrative fights. A loss to arguably the best man in the division doesn't hurt him much as everyone is expecting him to lose anyway.

    The likes of Fury, Ortiz, Pulev, Parker and Brezeale haven't t beaten anyone in current top 5 or 10 either.

    No. Maybe Whyte, for example, deserves it more, but Joshua vs. Miller is a good fight.

    We had Audley, old Ruiz, Molina (twice), Martin (who hadn't even fought a top50 opponent yet), Stiverne (2nd fight), Washington (a Miller victim), Szpilka, Beck, old Evander, Skelton, old Briggs, Sosnowski, Charr (twice), Leapai, old Mormeck, old Rahman (twice), old Boswell.

    That's enough of a list I guess, to make sure he's very probably not even in the top20 of worst challengers in the last 15 years.

    If boxing fails, Miller can always star in his own man vs food series, maybe have buffet bermane as sidekick.

    Hell, NO!!! Not even close. Owen Beck got title shot with awful resume in wins colums and 2 losses in the last 3 fights. He was far worse and far more undeserving. He is also deserves title shot more than Molina, Duhaupas, Szplika and Washington. Molina actually got 2 title shots (against Wilder and Joshua). But Owen Beck is the most undeserving HW title challenger by far since probably Tim Tomashek.

    Don't forget Damon Reed for the same WBO belt back in '98 was obviously worse as Beck, and about the same level of Tomashek himself.

    Yes, Leapai was far worse. But better than Owen Beck though. At least he beat Boytsovwhile Beck beat nobody and lost 2 of his last 3 fights.
