    Knowing Hearn the Allen v Hrgovic winner,with Hrgovic being the likely winner imo he could well get the Joshua fight and would give him some good rounds .

    Miller barely scraped past Kingsley Ibeh recently and went bald in doing so.

    Ibeh is a puncher he probably would've knocked joshua out

    Joshua's best wins in like 7 years are Otto Wallin who went on to get dominated by ancient Chisora, and Franklin who just got obliterated by Moses. Joshua got destroyed by Dubois in his last fight.

    Miller would be his best win in a long, long time. He is tough and has a decent work rate. Actually gave Dubois a good fight when Dubois was on his win streak.

    Ibeh is literally a good journeyman at best come on man. Who has he even beaten?

    Yeah, exactly so Jarrell Miller would be a good tune up fight for AJ that gives AJ some rounds on top of that.

    If he thinks he's fighting Fury next then he should fight that Polish guy that Kabayel just beat up.

    I do think he would get rounds out of him as I doubt Joshua has the confidence at this point to march forward and take him out.

    Jake Paul made Joshua look almost as amateurish as himself.

    There's more chance Joshua will fight you next than the winner of Dubois vs Wardley.

    A seasoned and experienced fighter like Joshua doesn't need a Tune Up fight, he needs to go all or nothing. I think Miller would be a good opponent who would give him rounds...

    He should fight me the big dosser but I can't guarantee I won't chin him the big useless pudding.

    how many in a row has Joyce lost now? He needs some wins before he starts taking L’s again. Even if they’re against no-hopers on undercards of smaller events.

    also, eh, I’m a little worried for his health at this point, and don’t really want to see what AJ would do to him in his current very faded condition. It wouldn’t be pretty.

    No way Joyce is making another run of it. I’m guessing he’ll retire or have one final big payday fight if the offer comes along. Which would be the AJ fight. Altho I agree he’s taken too much damage now.

    Miller couldn't stop a tap running

    Quite the pillow fist for his size

    AJ won't ever give him the opportunity anyway and rightly so
