    Comments Thread For: Hunter Warns Joshua: I'll Be Tougher Challenger Than Miller

    MICHAEL HUNTER is waiting by the phone for the call to face Anthony Joshua and insists he can dethrone the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight king. The American believes he is the only fighter on Joshua's shortlist who is really ready to step up and face the British star. Unbeaten Anthony Joshua has been left without an opponent for his June 1 date with Jarrell Miller at Madison Square Garden in New York after Big Baby' failed THREE drug tests.

      If he uses movement smartly & makes the fight less exciting & more strategic maybe he's right, but I still say Joshua vs Big Baby was gonna be the more fun fight.

        Hunter is no easy touch for anybody.

        When I watched the film of his fight with Usyk, saw him landing plenty of punches and keeping it close right up to the championship rounds, I put that down to Usyk being a slow starter and having an off night.

        When I watched him dominate and KO the huge and highly touted Martin Bakole, I wrote Bakole off as a hype job, but then he rebounded with a stoppage win over Wach and looked as good, if not better, than Jarrell Miller against that same opponent.

        So now I'm giving Hunter his due respect. A small, fast guy like him, with boxing skills, chin, stamina, and a lot of determination, could turn out to be a banana skin type opponent for AJ.

          Let Dazn build Hunter. I actually like him but he is not ready. I want that Cuban dinosaur that does nothing but talk. Always telling people how game he is to fight anyone for free and fights the likes of Kauffman and goes 12 rounds.

            I think Ortiz would love to fight AJ, he just canīt pass VADA on such short notice..

              This is the exact reason i don't see him getting the Joshua fight. They want to build him as a future opponent just like they would build Usyk, Hunter more so because he is american.

              I really do believe Andy Ruiz would get the fight, he sounds like he knows he has that fight in the bag, and he has already sign his part of the deal.

                This is another reason why you have to respect fighters who will step up on short notice. It proves they have nothing to hide.

                  Hunter could be an interesting fight but from what I've seen, AJ beats him
