Randomly this wouldn't be an awful fight in the next 6-12ish mos depending on what goes down for either over the next fight or two.

Sh^t I think Bhop made his dying mother a promise he'd retire by 41 at age 38 & that mfer didn't retire til 51 lmfao.
That said I wish more guys did retire more timely. Get in, get paid, get out needs to be more common than it is.

With the Saudis in play I do think a lot of fights like this have more possibilities to happen than I usually would think tho so who knows.pnut901 likes this.

If the skill and physical tools are there , why wait ? Too much can go wrong inside and outside of the ring to hold a guy back for artificial reasons. Who knows , Anderson may be as ready as he's ever going to be. He's not one of those guys who came to boxing late and has to play catch up. If he feels that he is ready, let him loose.

I guess it's better than not being active. Not sure if this fight goes more than 3 rounds. Don't understand why Anderson isn't fighting Ajagba or Sanchez.

The belts are going to fracture soon, Anderson is an American Heavyweight so he's a shoe in for a vacant title shot as the alphabodies love an American heavyweight.
You don't match him with anyone tough until then, the Deontay Wilder blueprint.

I can see why people think he's got potential, but he also carries his hands awfully low, keeps his head in the center lane when he's not specifically trying to take a different lane, loads up on shots, and gasses out pretty quickly. He's got the talent to become a real threat if he works on his skills, but based on his comments and attitude and behavior outside the ring, I don't think he's got the work ethic to be a good champion and work on those flaws.

Anderson v Miller isn't quite as extreme a gap (ie Anderson has some talent and isn't just a massive slob), but experience wise you wouldn't put Anderson anywhere near Dubois. If they did then I'd give massive credit to Anderson for backing himself. There'd be people favouring him on the old US talker basis, but Dubois should be a huge favourite on their respective resumes.
But it won't happen. You can't have zero US heavyweights in the mix and that could happen with an Anderson loss to a middling heavyweight. Anderson will be moved very, very slowly. He'll get a chance at a vacant belt at some point.Last edited by Toffee; 04-13-2024, 10:26 PM.

In reality, there was zero in their respective skill sets or resumes that should have made people favour Miller.

But again yea I agree Jared vs DDD has a low probability of happening.
