Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte: I Heard Rumor Joshua Will Face Miller at MSG

[BellicoseOne]

'AJ at Wembley' is already being trailed on Sky Sports (aka EHTV) so it is highly unlikely that AJ will be anywhere else.
It will be AJ v White whether we like it or not as Eddie knows there are plenty of casual boxing fans out there that will turn up and plenty others that will fork out the cash on PPV.
Personally, if it was happening in my front garden, I would close the curtains.
I will only pay when the cream of the division, ie AJ/Wilder/Fury fight and if we all did the same, the fights would get made in a more timeous fashion.
PPV used to be the realm of the elite fighters fighting each other and a return to that would be most welcome.

Hands down Miller is the bigger attraction unfortunately for Whyte because he's already been in there and it's a fait accompli.

Miller at least represents a threat with his size and power, and AJ can get buzzed and has been starched plenty, but also has enough heart to compensate.

Whyte has worked hard, but seriously a PED-less shell in Lucas Browne, An past his prime Chisora, and the only real test he JUST got through was with Parker who has the skills but can't punch through the ceiling.

AJ v Miller
Whyte v Ortiz, Hughie Fury, Price whatever on the same card at Wembley would be the best option.

Here's wishing A happy New Year and my resolution is to try and telepathically cause Al Haymon to have a heart attack, die, and then his 100+ fighters all sign with Top Rank, Matchroom, etc, then we'll get back to 2017 when cards were coming off the conveyer belt.

Heavyweights need more time to get in real shape. It took Fury more than one year to get in shape again and he still isnt in Klitschko-shape! And Whyte is one of these fighters having a hard time to loose fat. He looked better against Chisora than before, but still pretty fat. 2 months is not enough time to get in real shape for some of these heavyweights. There are some of these skinny fighters who never get fat, this Hearns, Paul Williams or Wilder-guys, these guys dont put on any fat. But its hard for some of these other big dossers to get in real fighting-shape.

So true. And the older you get the harder and more stubborn your body becomes in hanging on to fat.

So many boxing fans think one rule applies to everybody, no sense of individual context.

For him to get what he deserves a shot at the title. You get rewarded for taking good fight, it’s irrelevant whether I personally want to see it again. I do really want to see it again? Yes because the other candidates haven’t done nothing. If I have a choice I would want others like Miller, Ortiz have one or two good names on their resume over the last 18 months, then it would justify their selection, trying to justify the fact that Whyte already lost to Joshua isn’t a good enough reason.

Ok so anyone beating the likes of Browne and Chisora are deserving right ?

Nah..........

Nah, Shyte is a lock for Joshua's next opponent. They need to build up Miller a little more.

This is more to build up Joshua's USA profile than anything to do with Miller. The more Joshua is known in the USA the better the PPV between he and Wilder will do.

Whyte deserves it more. First fight was domestic level, now it is about a world title shot. Not the same thing.

Miller will get his chance also, sooner or later.

Much rather see AJ vs Miller.
We know what will happen vs Whyte.
Less certain vs Miller. [Though likely similar, just less certain.]

Don't cry Whyte. Oh please don't cry. You are next for Joshua and we all know. Don't cry Whyte.

"I heard a rumour" wasn't that by Bananarama? Make it your new ring walk tune, Dillian.

Kubrat still not wanting a rumble?
