Joshua - Big Baby signed. Fight at MSG in June

Wait, and the fans?

Since Ortiz has a fight signed, its about time for Whyte to call him out again. Hearn apparently has mentioned Ortiz as a potential opponent for Whyte for April 20....Only problem? Ortiz fights on March 2nd. I mean unless he gets a quick stoppage or comes out of the fight with no bumps or bruises, it's just not likely to happen. But April 20 isn't a set date for Whyte so he can fight at a later time making the fight possible.

Luis Ortiz? :fingersx: If Whyte fights in say May? Then definitely would like that. But if he truly is going on April 20? That won't happen with Ortiz fighting on March 2nd.

Heard alluded to April 20th and opponent of either Brezeale, Ortiz or Povetkin. I think the latter probably is most likely. Odd though given Whyte said he wouldn’t be ready to face Joshua in April? Why is Ortiz being mentioned for April 20 when he is fighting on March 2nd? And if Whyte was to fight Ortiz, would Whyte even need Hearn for that fight? Haymon has a UK broadcaster now and they could just put that fight or the Breazeale fight on ITV, no? I mean not like Whyte has a contract with Hearn....Unless he just wants Hearn involved in all his fights? Which could prove to be true, and/or Whyte wants to continue fighting on Sky Box Office? As for April 20 being a potential date and him saying 11 weeks is not enough for Joshua? Apparently that had a lot to do with the drug testing and wanting proper time to start the VADA testing. Now, you could say wouldn't he want that fight guys like Povetkin/Ortiz who have failed drug tests in the past? That would be a valid counter to what Whyte said about 11 weeks not being enough for Joshua.

imo since big baby is from brooklyn they should do it at the barclays..... I don't know if they could with the PBC/Barclays deal that was announced a few months ago. I mean possibly, but not sure. I know PBC is putting on at least eight Barclays shows a year. Does that mean no one else could put a show at Barclays? Don't know if this is an exclusive deal or not. But Joshua will want it at MSG. He was there at Canelo/Fielding and loved the atmosphere.

Granite chin? Miller hasn't exactly been up against big punchers; but he does get hit a lot. I don't think he can afford to get hit a lot by someone like Joshua and thus i'd expect Miller to fold in the later rounds. If he really can take everything Joshua throws at him then it'd be an interesting end but I just don't think Miller has the ammunition to really hurt Joshua; he's a volume puncher not a power puncher. Pretty sure duhaupas hits pretty hard there bud. not to mention practically all heavyweights hit hard. we are not talking about flyweights or womens boxing here pal. Big baby is a 300 pound man mountain of a man, i dont believe its physically possibile to hurt him :boxing:

this. ive already noticed all the hearn/aj groupies claiming big baby will get KO'd inside 3 lmao. this could very well backfire, im going to stick a score/or more on Miller. a granite chin with a good engine and hes 300 pounds? yea i think he could drown AJ late..

Early rounds he's going to be hit with a lot from Joshua. Really going to find out how tough he is and if that 300lbs helps absorb shots Bully him outside of the ring, inside of the ring? I predict that he will be game, and resilient but possibly take a immense prolonged beating 'In a entertaining brutally violent fight, the type of heavyweight fights american's have missed'...

wilder is more athletic and has better head movement... and that is your opinion. Wilder's head movement sucks. He's lucky Fury isn't a puncher cause he was getting hit clean a lot in that fight.

wilder is more athletic and has better head movement... and that is your opinion. I've never seen Wilder moving his head, except when he got punched in it by Fury and Ortiz.

Neither does Wilder. Wilder doesn't have a jab and he can't fight at mid range or on the inside either. wilder is more athletic and has better head movement... and that is your opinion.

imo since big baby is from brooklyn they should do it at the barclays..... Madison Square Garden has a lot more allure than the Barclays Centre. Certainly over on this side of the pond. Joshua himself has talked about wanting to fight at MSG and Vegas. I'm hoping it's Miller at MSG and Wilder in Vegas this year. Probably unrealistic but hey!

doesnt change the FACT that AJ doesnt have head movement and you know it Neither does Wilder. Wilder doesn't have a jab and he can't fight at mid range or on the inside either.

BB Miller has a bigger chance than most think if he has a chin. He could exhaust AJ in 5-6 rounds and then what? this is a guy someone like Fury would beat with absolute ease, and probably wouldn't even get touched in 12 rounds. To me it seems like Miller is not a great match up for AJ. this. ive already noticed all the hearn/aj groupies claiming big baby will get KO'd inside 3 lmao. this could very well backfire, im going to stick a score/or more on Miller. a granite chin with a good engine and hes 300 pounds? yea i think he could drown AJ late..

Finally a AJ fight I can look forward to.

I will watch this fight, will no doubt be entertaining seeing Miller roll around on the floor. But can't help feel underwhelmed, like AJ and Hearn are turning the Heavyweight division into a May-Pac groundhog day. Want to see Joshua in one of the perceived 50/50 fights where he will face some danger.

should be a good scrap aj will win a close decision but it wont be easy.

Fury is not obligated to a rematch and right after the fight Davison gave an IFL interview expressing his views of not fighting Wilder next taking a few fights again to get Tyson 100%. Only recently has any negotiations been discussed and even Fury reached out to Hearn to see options so I don't know what that has to do with Wilder history of accusing people of ducking when they set up fights that he wasn't interested in . i know thats what I was saying

Funny stuff! Wilder couldn't even beat a 50% shadow of Tyson Fury! doesnt change the FACT that AJ doesnt have head movement and you know it
