I don't see Miller vs Joshua lasting more than 3-5 rounds

    We dont really know how good Millers chin is. He hasnt fought anyone with decent power. But I do think he does a little bit defensively that should keep him going a little while. His head is also the size of a small car with thick neck and sturdy build so he might well have a good chin.

    I can see a Breazeale esque performance from Joshua, with him conscious of not punching himself out, but also controlling the pace and landing hard shots throughout, probably wearing him down for a later stoppage.

    I think Miller if given the chance would prove to be a mid level top 10 HW in todays scene. I think he beats Whyte for example, and maybe some of the older guys like Pulev, Povetkin and Ortiz depending what they have left. His style would be tough for an older guy at the end of their career.

      Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin both have competed professionally in Kickboxing and K1.

      Povetkin, until Joshua, had never been knocked down. Not even by Klitschko.

      Joshua has gone 12 rounds.

      I see your NY Golden Gloves loss and raise you 3 current World Titles, 1 current minor World Title, 7 defences (3 against current TBRB top 10) and Olympic Gold.

      What else do you have????

        Povetkin was down a bunch of times vs Klitschko. Do you mean knocked out?

          This is what I'm saying, if the guy has a great chin he's going to be a problem. People dismissing this as a poor fight could be proved right or wrong...I'm gonna sit on the fence as Miller is too much of an unknown quantity.

              Its the same with a lot of the fighters that Miller has faced, he throws a lot of punches.

              I give him credit as a hard worker but lets be realistic here, he has NEVER faced someone like Joshua whereas Joshua has faced better versions of Miller before (Whyte) and won.

              Joshua's inside game is strong...I see the same uppercut that put Whyte away, putting Miller away. 5th or 6th.
              Dont get me wrong I can't seeing him beat AJ but what ifc said about him gassing early not throwing is completely wrong.

                Yer maybe you could call him that.
                AJ will knock him out though.
                Miller throws alot but they aren't vert hard punches.
