    This would be a good test to see how Usyk is at HW. Miller has trouble with fighters with a jab and movement, but Usyk isn't exactly a KO artist. Miller's size and workrate might give him trouble.

    This would be an awful matchmaking test for Usyk to see how he would do at HW. I absolutely think he would UD Miller but Big Baby is a huge size mismatch and about as unique a HW as there currently is. Not someone you "test" a champion moving up a class against IMO.

    I'd favor a 9-3 Usyk UD but Miller grinding him down on size alone and stopping him isn't outside the realm.

    It would be an interesting match up - at first glance you might assume that Miller would run down Usyk with a 100 pound weight advantage... and overpower him on the ropes.

    But I think Usyk would volume punch Millers face at varying speeds and intensity in order to land more accurately. They might not knock Miller out but they will certainly disrupt his ability to fight back and move forward.

    They both have good work rates, and decent enough chins so far.

    I don't think they will test Uysk against a fighter with the kind of weight he will unlikely ever face again. Why do that as a test?

    Definitely wouldn't start off the rampage with Miller, 315lb is too much to have to deal with straight off if there's other option's, which there is ! Get used to some 230/40 lb'ers first

    Usyk would out point a guy like this . To fast and moving around..can't see Miller putting a 3 punch combo here bc Usyk.isn't going to just stand there.

    A bad risk/reward ratio to start at HW.
