    In a perfect world, the winner of this would fight the winner of Wilder Fury rematch, and the loser would fight the loser.

    But we all know that's not happening, at least not right away.

      I've never seen Wilder moving his head, except when he got punched in it by Fury and Ortiz.

        Wilder's head movement sucks. He's lucky Fury isn't a puncher cause he was getting hit clean a lot in that fight.

          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'...

            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..
            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

                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.

                  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.

                    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.

                      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.
