    I like the fight, and think both guys are underrated.
    Hunter I have been a fan of for years - I used to see him as a real danger man in the division - a proper sleeper kind of guy. He was pretty old skool at his best, yet was always overlooked. But no one ever seemed to fancy fighting him…again, instructive to me.

    Miller is a horrible nights work for anyone. You will be expected to win, but will have to work for every minute of the fight. No fun at all.

    two avoided, underrated, but probably past peak guys. I like it, and would just be happy to see both active at this point.

    I'll say what the infuriating lady was screaming ringside during Moorer-Foreman.

    Come on Micheal!

    The Bounty Hunter is back baby, ready to beat that big baby (on points.)

    Tbf if what he is saying is true, he has a good case and could easily scupper this fight.

    7 years ago I would've said Hunter in a heartbeat................................7 years ago.

    Hunter was my favorite (this era) HW, he doesn't really wanna fight anymore. I think he's finished. Miller still has a little bit of life in him. Also, I thought Don King's nefarious ass had blocked this fight from taking place?

    For a short period in 2019 the beltholders were Wilder and Ruiz, with Hunter a top contender. Miller had popped for PEDs once again, been denied the Joshua title shot and his career as a contender seemed to be over.

    Yet if Miller beats Hunter after having seemingly been ducked by Anderson, he will have the best claim to be the No.1 American heavyweight in 2025 (providing he doesn't fail a post-fight drug test, which would surprise no one).

    Joshua-Miller is still a big fight and I'd love to see it. Miller has the psychological edge and according to both recent form and mutual opponent theory you'd have to favour Miller: he got robbed with a draw against Ruiz over 12 rather than quitting in 7 and was stopped on his feet in 10 against Dubois rather than getting KO'd in 5.

    Joshua Miller could be an interesting fight. The difference between Joshua's best (Usyk 2) and worst is huge. Plus, even at his best he may get chinned.

    I can see Parker having to fight Joshua if he wants to get the Usyk fight. Turki and whichever platform may demand it of him.

    This is one of those fights where you just sit back and see how it plays out.

    We've got two incredibly flawed fighters at the end of their mostly failed careers, who've had losses wiped off their records, failed drug tests forgotten, who are handed undeserved rankings and somehow find a way to lose those rankings ... who are given chance after chance after chance ...

    And always find a way to blow it, often in idiotic fashion.

    Miller should win this.

    But even if he does, everyone's going to be waiting for the post-fight drug tests to come back showing he failed again.

    Regardless, it's a perfect matchup. They both deserve each other.

    I was wondering, which one of these 37 year old semi-retired fighters will actually show up and try to win? This one could devolve into a snooze fest of inactivity. I'll go with Miller for no solid reason

    I would presume Allegiant Stadium, at reduced capacity, possibly with discounts to drum up sales from people in town for Bud vs. Canelo that weekend.

    Don King is 93 now, how does he have the energy for any of this?
