    Because he isn’t being objective. I don’t care what anyone says about him being HW champion blah blah blah, his opinion is paid for! You don’t go from “Let Fury and Wilder do a rematch” to this. What options are there for Joshua? He (Lewis) wanted Fury/Wilder to do a rematch and they are doing that. The options left are Whyte, Miller or Ortiz. Joshua can’t fight all of them at the same time. His 23rd fight he is fighting another undefeated top 10 HW. The other two credible options (Whyte - wanted more time/drug test and more money in case he wins) no issues with that, and Ortiz has a fight and probably wouldn’t sell the fight the way Miller would. Miller is a trash talker, American and from New York where the fight would happen . So if he is objective without any paid, hatred towards Joshua then he would put those reasons into his wordings, but he went from he doesn’t want to leave the UK to now another go at Joshua. It’s boring to be honest because he makes himself not credible to really boxing fans (Excluding all Wilder fangirls who are backing Lewis stance).

      That’s why I was never a Lewis fan, I felt he only embraced his UK heritage as it was more marketable than being Canadian. Whether I agree with it or not, he’s generally regarded as British, he was born in London as well tbf
      I still don’t get that argument, he is british. Simple as.. he left here when he was 12, win the gold for Canada (fair enough) and came back for obvious reasons (marketable reasons)... I really have no issues with that.

        He’s being completely objective what part of what he’s saying isn’t objective?

        AJ should have already fought Wilder before Fury even returned. And Whyte was the obvious option but instead he was sent a derisory offer.

        Miller is not a credible opponent, what’s his best win? What on his record makes him credible? He has little to no chance of beating AJ and everyone knows it, this is nothing more than a showcase

          He represented Canada at the Olympics. It’s clear enough where his allegiances are. I could just never buy into him as this British hero tbh

              Ironically? Former Welters have a more realistic opinion on the big dogs? Lewis been in the game longer than AJ, Hearn, Paulie and Bradley.

              Don’t spew garbage

                Does matter, Fury and Wilder ARE fighting. Everyone has moved on with that fight. That’s why he isn’t being objective. He himself said “Joshua can wait” let Fury and Wilder “Run it back”

                If he isn’t a hater or a paid shill, then he would know taking Wilder and Fury outbof the equation leaves Joshua with 3 options (Whyte/Ortiz/Miller)..

                Doesn’t matter here again, he was born british, leave more years in the UK conbined than he did in Canada. He is as much Jamaican as he is Canadian.

                    "miller top 10 doe"

                    that's always the fallback...they ran that game with golovkin now they'll run it with AJ...but if wilder fights a top 10 ranked guy that guy gets graded according to skill level and resume not his ranking lol

                      Dude you are obsessed with Golovkin, you literally cannot post on any subject without bringing him up.
