Does Jarrell Miller really need to lose weight?

[VatoMulatto]

I hear people all the time saying he's too heavy, he should drop some weight and get in better shape. I'm not so sure about that. Miller was 315 in his last fight and 317 against Adamek. Even though he's a huge man, he doesn't look like an obese slob. He does carry the weight well. He can keep a high pace and moves well in the ring for a man his size. His workrate is very good and he doesn't show any sign of stamina issues.

It’s pretty impressive that a man well over 300 lbs can have good stamina, but Miller seems to be suited for the weight.

Should Miller continue to enter the ring at 300+ or will he be a bigger threat against the top guys if he starts to drop some weight?



317 pounds....

I think vs these guys he's fighting now its fine, but I think when he's fighting the Joshua's & Wilder's he's gonna wanna be lighter. 280ish maybe.

I agree that he carries the weight well. If he's more comfortable being that size than being smaller, then so be it.

Not sure he has great stamina though. Need to see him in there with someone with a pulse that will make him work to be sure if he's good in that area or not.

What?? He carries it well?? Dude has HORRIBLE stamina and was literally in the corner stretching because he was cramping after a few rounds.
They said at one point in his career he was 250ish pounds.
He was also popped for steroids. He needs to lose 30-40 pounds. He couldn’t even celebrate his win he literally ran to the ropes and was stretching out LOL

Yes, he does need to lose weight. If he wants to be in with the elite. I can't see him going 12 rounds and still looking good in the championship rounds with any of the top ten. He would eventually gas out and get knocked out.

I mean he isn't wobbling around like a Arreola or a Andy Ruiz did when at that weight. He's actually quite toned.

I mention that i'm not convinced about his stamina. He's slowed down in the past after a few rounds so it may look like it isn't good. But we'll only get a true picture when he's in there with someone decent who can actually fight back and push him.

Imagine Turing 317 into 280 of muscle.

[Chuckguy]

Dude gases out fast of course he needs to lose weight

[EasternEuroFan]

He might not look at flabby as a lot of people that weight, but he still has a lot of fat and it simply can't be good carrying that much weight around.

Re

I dont think he needs to be 300+. Get it to 285-290.
