    According some ukrainian sites , IBF is sanctioning this fight for the N1 spot .

    Agreed. All too often the MO of contenders (especially at HW) is to fight tin cans and shot names from yesteryear en route to a title fight, like Dillian Whyte and Hughie Fury have done. Boxing needs fights like this to be made more often, whoever wins cements himself as the best of the rest outside of the top 5.

    I got Pulev UD if it happens.

    ibf where you have to pay to get a number 1 and 2 slot

    on paper 2 worthy contenders though

    as to the match up i think it will be a bit of the stinker

    you have pulev who likes to jab and grab / does not want anything inside and will try to tie up
    is not a big puncher

    then you have miller needs to get to the inside to do anything / is strong but not a big puncher

    miller is bigger /stronger /more workrate than chisora and we saw how that fight panned out

    miller will be able to walk through pulevs punch`s but will he be able to shake off pulev clinches and will he get any help of the ref to do so.

    winner of this fight IMO despends on where it takes place

    europe and pulev will win on points close

    america and miller will win on points close
    wont be a classic though the styles dont gell well.

    That would be a very good step up for Miller and could establish him as a legit threat to any of the title holders

    I’m not a huge fan of either but they’re both legit and mildly entertaining.

    Going for a skinny dip in a cold lake with a bunch of milfs surrounding your camp site....having half the circulation is a gentlemanly look.

    Just like this fight.

    I'm not sold on Miller but this is a winnable fight for him, due to styles. Pulev doesn't move well and so won't be able to get out of the way, against Chisora he clinched him to prevent him working but Miller is huge and should be strong enough to shrug him off.

    Think it will be close. Miller will be busier and more aggressive but I think Pulev will be more accurate and catch Miller coming in with some eye catching shots.

    Fook, winner will get a huge payday.
    I believe Miller wasn't at his best vs Wach(Not that Miller is anything special... well he is huge) so i really want to see if he has improved.

    Doubt it happens, pulev hasn’t fought a live opponent since he lost to Klitschko

    This is winnable for Pulev. If he's got anything left in the tank he'll take it on points.

    They are ranked #1 and #2 but Pulev could go WBA route.

    Which means Miller either way will fight an eliminator and become Joshua's IBF mandatory and that's exactly how Hearn wants it.
