When I analyze fights I rarely look at what a fighter does well. I look at their flaws. I do so because fighters don't lose fights because of what they do well. Miller has flaws that will evidently be exploited by 2 of the other champions. Wach was punching in slow motion and still landing right hands on Miller. Miller has some redeemable traits (pretty solid head movement, punch output, and ring control) but his flaws will lead to him getting slept within 6 rounds against Deontay and from 6-10 against Joshua.
I wasn't really concerned with the punches he took because he saw them coming and rolled with most of them.
The guy is super-observant. Watches everything the opponent is doing and works in the openings. Many heavies just take turns forcing themselves on each other. Miller has a strong ring IQ. That will become very apparent as he faces higher competition.
People don't see this because they see "another fat heavyweight". They're not watching the actual exchanges and nuances.
The HBO commentary seemed to make fun of how wide open his eyes were as if it wasn't helping him be as observant he was.

I was watching his fight against Wach with my brother, and his first reaction was this guy actually has stamina unlikle Joshua, the "fat guy" has more stamina than the "body builder"
^This guy was paying attention.

This^^^^, Miller can jab, can throw combo's, has good hand speed, he has a good chin, and now people wanna claim he has no power cause he couldn't hurt Wach well neither could Klitschko and he floored Joshua

If you guys can't see his strengths, then YDKSAB I guess. I'm not going to get into a big argument about it now because these things will become evident when he steps up, but the guy has qualities not often seen at HW. Fans don't even seem to know what actual "boxing" is anymore. They just look at the body language and to see how the final punches landed.

Decent chin, comes forward and tries to break your spirit.
Boxing ability is non existent, doesn't appear to have much power despite what the record says.
Miller did control the entire fight and was never in any sort of danger even for a second. Had Wach not broken his hand, Miller would have cruised to a lopsided decision sort of how Wlad did against Wach.

i'm thinking he'll beat joshua if they fight...i don't think joshua is ready for him either.
Lay off the drugs kid.
So far Miller will give some good entertaining fights against Whyte/Breazeale/Molina etc
Miller is crap...and what's new? Almost the entirety of the heavyweight division is crap. AJ has shown some what of a spark but needs 2018 to be a year of unifications and noting else to really take the division by the scruff of the neck.
Other than that, what else is there? Showtime and Haymon are looking to cash Wilder out with a big British pay day. Povetkin and Pulev have had the better part of a decade to prove themselves but have done little or nothing. Haye's body is broken, Bellew is a cruiser, Parker, Whyte at al are just lumbering giants.
The division is a shambles unless the likes of Dubois develop and develop quickly.
Just goes to show how weak the division is when a guy like Miller is ranked so high. Only three fighters worth a damn in the division and they hold the belts. The rest are shyt.
yeah, big baby is 280, and he's STILL got faster hands than AJ....and great stamina which is something AJ lacks... and big baby can absorb big punches with his great size.
tbh, i wouldn't be surprised if big baby KOs joshua...joshua has looked vulnerable in his last two fights against guys he was supposed to steamroll.
I'd like to have a little bit of what this guy has been sniffing.
As for the last highlighted... log off, throw away your password and never come back.
Ive known this all along and was shocked how some of you called him dangerous lmfao
He is a journeyman level fighter. Like dam he fkin sucks
This guy was only bigged up by US fans you can just look at home and know he is a joke.
