    Ortiz, Hunter, Whyte, Kownacki and Pulev. Can’t think that anyone else is even an option now.

    I put hunter because he’s American and probably the easiest to make, its the least favourite one I like here though. I was really looking forward to Miller as he was an unknown quantity at this level.
    Whyte is training already but Hearn expected to announce a fight for him by next week which means the fight must be always done, but i'm sure he'd pull the plug on that for this. The problem is Whyte was unhappy with the rematch clause split, i wonder if Hearn would concede to what Whyte wanted now he's under pressure to deliver.

    I could see Kownacki and Ortiz being the best options if they're free to go fight on DAZN.

    Pulev never seemed to want the fight when he had it and predictably pulled out. I don't think Hearn would rely on him as a stand-in.

    As for Hunter, he's not ready for that but i'm sure he'd happily accept it for the payday which he will likely never get in future.

      I think Ortiz or kownacki gets it. Both easy and fan friendly fights

              I honestly thought Miller was smarter than that, but I guess not.

              Why do they wait almost a month before announcing the failed test? It takes away valuable weeks of training for the next opponent. Maybe that is the plan though.

              I hope they pick Ortiz, but have my doubts unless he only has a couple of weeks to prepare.

                Not very surprising. I think I said elsewhere that Miller's high output over twelve rounds just does not add up with his size and shape. They should just fight him anyway if possible but if not then Ortiz or Pulev would be great replacements. If they pick some no-hoper I'll be disappointed

                  True I forgot about him.when he first heard the news in his car this was his immediate response



                  Then when he got to work and was reminded he really lost it.

                    Of course I do lol. Igbo. I can’t speak only understand which is a disgrace really. Spent the first 10 years pretending to be from St Lucia. I want cool to be African in the 80’s. Especially in London schools. Parents evenings were the worst my mum would attend the event with her native wrapper and dad would come with his toes out even in the winter

                      It would have been German, imo.

                      America baled Russia out as well as Britain by coming in when they did. If he hadn't had to keep the bulk of his Army in Western Europe to try and fight off the yanks, Hitler would probably have succeeded in invading and occupying Russia.

                      The ****'s would have probably been the first to develop an atomic bomb too. If America hadn't been drawn into the war, the Manhatton Project wouldn't have happened.

                      It's a chilling scenario.

                      God bless America! Big Baby is innocent!
