    I'm trying to look at this like a neutral. I've only watched a couple of Miller fights when they become available but I have seen ALL of Joshua's professional fights.

    Miller is a come forward fighter. I like his work ethic and he fires a lot of shots per round, problem is, none of them have any significant power (comparing to others) to rock fighters. He is VERY easy to hit. His footwork is terrible. He holds a low guard. I think Wilder would KO him in 1 or 2 based on what I can see. Miller does nothing better than what Dominic Breazeale came with against Joshua. If Miller dropped to about 270-280, I think the additional speed may give Joshua problems but Miller needs to make a significant leap in ability to change the way he fights.

    Joshua is far lighter on his feet, me moves quickly and counterpunches very well. He can work very well on the inside and appears so like a 'wake up call' punch. His jab is fast and accurate and we all know he can KO Heavyweights. Joshua does have a suspect chin. Whyte, Klitschko, Povetkin all managed to connect and I am wondering whether Joshua can manage someone much heavier. Joshua seems to gas around 7 or 8 but second winds (against Parker and Klitschko) around 11 or 12. Miller could take advantage of that. Arguably, Joshua's best weight is around 230-240 but considering Millers weight, it will be interesting to see where Joshua comes in at, does he go for speed? Does he want the extra bulk to absorb Millers shots?

      Exactly.

      Needs to push AJ back from the get go and take any leverage AJ has a way and maybe AJ hasn’t really got the power going back. But I find it hard not see AJ detonating an uppercut that will probably take his face off.

      I think Miller will do well Tbh.

      But he’s just going to take massive damage.
