Comments Thread For: Promoter: I Just Don't See Anthony Joshua Beating Jarrell Miller

[Sid-Knee]

The one advantage Miller has over Joshua is stamina and workrate. He is not a huge power puncher but he more than compensates for it with pure volume punching.

The biggest question is could Miller take Joshua's punch. If he can, then it's potential fight of the year candidate but if he can't then it's a wash; A forgone conclusion.

Either way, Miller won't win on the scorecards in Great Britain regardless.

Actually, it's the US where you can't win on the cards. Just look at how many robberies you've had in recent times.

Miller is actually pretty skilled, he's a massive, durable guy with good speed for his size and good power. He's better on offense than defense that's for sure.

Defensively Miller has little to no head movement, his high pressure style relies on walking through punches and if he can't do that against AJ he'll be out early.

I consider Miller just as good as Pedvetkin, Whyte, Parker and Takam, don't think he's any worse than those guys.

[Eff Pandas]

Lets not pretend knocking over a load of shot fighters proves you have power. When Miller steps up, those KO's will stop, because he'll be the one being KO'd.

LOL I love you guys so confident about sh^t. Like I said & all I said is Big Baby is a live dog in a fight with Joshua. I don't even know whats so argumentative about that for you.

Joshua ain't King f#cking Kong. And its hilarious to me you seem to think that while also thinking Big Baby is someones overweight grandma who's just gonna fall down pretty vs Joshua.

If Big Baby re-ups with DAZN/Hearn I think its a lock we will see Joshua vs Big Baby sooner rather than later so we can talk about this further when Big Baby is still there in the 6th round since you seem so confident he won't make it that far.

And top 5ish??? Really???

LOL is that shocking to you to?

Right now Big Baby is #6 on TRBR (the rankings I respect the most nowadays & seem to have the least conflict of interest/bias). And Fat Dan gots him at #7.

I can't argue with that logic. It's just like what you always say. It's the A side that gets all the breaks and perks.

They get the largest purse split and percentage; In addition, they pick the venue, judges, ring size, gloves, referee and decide who will enter the ring first or last. It happened to Golovkin in Las Vegas against Canelo and the very same thing will happen to Miller in either London or Cardiff.

In both those hypothetical instances, unless Miller knocks AJ out he will lose the fight no matter what because Anthony Joshua is the A side don't you remember?

[BoZz]

GayJay has another bum lined up I see ..but nice try of that promoter to hype up this rubbish lol

[billeau2]

Miller's problem is his confidence, and relative threat is such that the fight is too risky for some of the first tier guys... its a risk to fight a guy who can pressure you and beat you.

It is shocking to me that Miller is in the top 10 at all.

1) Joshua (Obvious reasons)
2) Wilder (Beat Ortiz)
3) Whyte (Beat Parker)
4) Povetkin (Beat Takam, Huck and Perez. Beat the bums Miller did but much earlier and in better fashion)
5) Parker (Beat Takam, Fury and Ruiz)
6) Pulev (Beat Chisora and Thompson)
7) Ortiz (Beat Jennings)
8) Kabayel (Beat Chisora)
9) Chisora (Beat Takam)
10) Breazeale (Beat undefeated prospect Ugonoh and Molina)
11) Kownacki (Beat Martin)
12) T Fury (Obvious reasons)

Miller doesn't belong being above any of these guys. They have all done more than Miller. So forget top 5ish, he isn't even in the top 10. You can't have a high ranking fighting bums who are completely shot to pieces.

Where would you realistically put him? What argument do you have for doing so?

[billeau2]

What has Miller done to be top 10? Break it down for me because I just don't see it.

Miller would have to beat someone good to become a mandatory and he doesn't want to do that. He's already ducked Pulev. The only other way is a voluntary. But if better fights can be made, why fight Miller?

What is so special about the top ten lol? Certainly the top 5 is a different story. But handling a fighter like Washington is a good win. At this stage a guy is winning, developing and not being exposed is what is supposed to happen. You don't know how Miller would hold up against Joshua, nobody does. The main thing is there will be a time for Miller to jump up and show what he is made of. He has a good beard, can throw punches for a whole round, has good technical skills, some still develping, could use some work on Defense, but thats part of developing.

Young fighters coming along all face a time when they have to rise to the occasion, or not. Even veteran fighters who get an opportunity have to do the same. Martin had his chance... Beazul had his chance. Statistically most will not become outstanding, some will do so on their third chance! and some will become great in the ring in a fight... Nobody can know what he will do against better competition... period.

Why would Miller need to knock him out? Because of the cards for the Povetkin fight? You should watch again because I had it 4-2 Joshua after 6. He blocks most of Povetkins shots. Nothing wrong with those cards.

Wilder vs Ortiz cards were ****ed.

Ward vs Kovalev x2. No one was the A side but Ward was allowed to cheat in both fights but the crooked ref didn't do a thing. Kovalev still won the first fight but the judges then had Ward's back. Kovalev was ahead on my card in the second fight but Ward was allowed to hit him low with illegal shots to bring a bull**** stoppage.

Easter getting dodgy cards how many times?

Warren losing clearly to Payano but getting the robbery win.

Canelo getting an even card against Mayweather. Getting the robbery win against Lara.

That's off the top of my head, but there's lots more. The US is the home of corruption. A score card in one fight in the UK and you're now trying to claim you have to knock him out to win? Nah.

Being in the top 10 should be done on merit, not hype. Miller has fought nobody to speak of.

Washington is a nobody that hasn't even beat a decent fighter. A win over him means absolutely nothing.

When did Miller come close to proving he had a beard? He's never fought anyone who punched back. And even if they did, they were all pretty much light hitters.

I think you should beat someone with a bit of substance before you get a world title shot. Sorry, but beating shot fighters doesn't do it for me.
