Who should be AJ's replacement opponent?

[Clegg]

Seems likely to be Kownacki as he'll sell the most tickets. Maybe Pulev to get the mandatory done but he seems to want to wait on that, get an extra easy payday for low ratings. Would be surprised if it was anybody else.

[NEETzsche]

To be honest I doubt that the more ambitious contenders like Ortiz, Pulev and Kownacki will agree to fight on short notice. A guy like Hunter sounds more plausible but even then that's probably one of the best case scenarios. They should just fight Miller, it was obvious he was on roids before they even signed to fight him so nothing has changed really

[Boksfan]

Kownacki already said he won't take it on short notice. Pulev won't take it either. Ortiz? The best choice but he avoided Joshua all his career so I don't know if he wants it.

... I predict that they will find a way to keep Big Baby in this fight... AJ just can't fight a Cuban or a Bulgarian at MSG...

Horrible thought but I suspect you are right.

Though if AJ flattens Ortiz; Whyte gets Kowanacki to fight Wilder (assuming Tyson passes up Whyte).

I paid a little over $10K for 6 tickets, I am taking clients to that fight.

Hotels and flights booked. If Miller was in front of me now I'd knock the fat cvnt out myself.

Me too (well just for me and the missus); get in the queue.

Ortiz has to take it as he will never make mandatory for AJ otherwise. Kowanacki might get the IBF next cycle round plus has a better chance of getting a voluntary because of his popularity.

I just heard that Whyte wants to replace Miller...

[hugh grant]

I know fighting people on peds is a risk. But Josh might be so desperate to ram his fist down Miller's throat he might plead to let him fight

I don't buy it. Charr just failed a drug test himself.
