    As a Joshua fan Joshua/Miller but as a neutral Wilder/Breazeale as I think it's the most competitive.

    The other 2 fights I think will be more one sided. Joshua KO's Miller with ease, Fury wins wide UD vs Parker, but Breazeale I think has a punchers chance and his size alone may give Wilder issues, I mean Washington was out boxing Wilder, why not Breazeale and Breazeale can actually take a punch and has shown heart in previous fights to come back from behind, he's a live underdog in my opinion.

    all 3 fights are criticized
    but to be fair all 6 fighters are in 9 out 0f 10 of everybodys top 10 heavies

    if they take place I expect all 3 favourites to win
    I think brezeale v wilder is the pick of them of being the closest

    wilder should win but he leaves himself open when he loads up and brezeale has the size and power that if he catches wilder he can drop him

    wilder can win it t by boxing long and cautious and using his speed but he just makes so many mistajes v a puncher it will cost him someday maybe v breazeale

    fury v parker - will be technical from fury and frustrating for parker not many punches landed and a closer than most on here points win for fury would be my prediction but American fans I think would boo fury in this one

    Joshua v miller IMO is the least in doubt

    millers sole chance IMO is if his word games outside and inside the ring gets in joshuas head and Joshua throws the kitchen sing

    Joshua boxes with patietnce and the same way he did v povetkin and he will win easy

    Fury-Parker
    I think Parker pulls the upset

    Wilder might Kill Bearzill no offense I just don't want to see that fight total mismatch.

    AJ will beat Miller, Miller has fought Not one puncher, yet getting a title. Why is that??

    My interest is in the same order as the arrangement of the poll

    For me the first entry.
    But like said, the Wilder one has the biggest chance of an upset and is interesting to see.

    For the boxing connoisseur Fury v Parker is by far the most interesting fight those looking for knockouts can pick either of the other two mismatches.

    I find the title of this thread very misleading

    I've never done a poll before.

    What I've learned is you've basically got to ask the exact same question three times - once in the heading of the thread, once in the poll title & again in the initial post of the thread (the poll won't post if you don't make an initial comment).

    The question in my head when I devised the poll was which of three of the same kind of thing (world h/w championship fights) is the most attractive?

    Hence "who wore it best?".

    Repeating the exact same question three times wasn't intuitive to me though so I began with "who wore it best?"

    It's evident from responses to the poll that the other two questions aren't the same either. The heading of the poll is "Which of these H/W Championship matchups is the most interesting?". That's not quite the same question as the first post on the thread which asks "Which of these H/W Championship matchups most interests you?".

    The first question is asking you to make an objective assessment of the merits of the fights while the second is asking for a subjective view having regard to your own personal preferences. There's a difference which at least one of the respondents to the poll has alluded to.

    Despite these inconsistencies, I think most of the people posting here have been able to get the general gist of what's intended.

    The notable exception has been members of the Australian boxing / Stifler's Mum Memorial thread who haven't quite come to grips with it yet.

    I'm expecting a late surge in support for Fury v Parker when they do.

    Thank you I appreciate the explanation.

    The most intriguing to me is Wilder-Breazele because in reality this is a 50/50 fight.

    As a boxing fan Fury-Parker is the one.

    As a Chicano, the violence that may erupt has me wanting to watch Joshua-Miller.

    I'll have to think a bit more before voting.

    Edit: Chose Wilder-Breazele as that is the closest fight IMO.
