I'm thinking AJ might humiliate them both
RE: Heavyweight Division - Msreef - 08-17-2016
I think he has no hope in hell in out boxing Fury, I'd give him a punchers chance in that fight.

Price trainer Coldwell: “If not [Joshua next] we’ll fight Joseph Parker in order to get the opportunity”
James Slater - August 16, 2016 - 28 comments
David Price really wants a shot at IBF heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua – the man he revealed last week he flattened in sparring many moons ago. Price, under new trainer Dave Coldwell, is finally finding his “nasty side,” according to the trainer who spoke with Sky Sports today. Coldwell says Price is “fed up of being ridiculed and written off,” and now has “the devil in him” as he trains and looks for his next fight.
Coldwell says Price will fight like the huge puncher he is from now on; so it’s goodbye, nice guy, hello merciless puncher. At least that’s what Coldwell says, and he is “loving it.”
“I’ve always said he’s too nice, too amiable, too soft,” Coldwell said of Price, who has scored one comeback win under his new coach. “I’ve told him he needs to get that dog in him, that devil. I love it! I like this attitude that Pricey is getting – he’s a massive, 20-stone man and he needs to impose himself by being a vicious animal. If you’re a big puncher you’ve got to let them know you’re a big puncher. That’s what’s going to happen in his fights now.”
Price is expected to box a tune-up type fight on the Oct. 15 Bellew-Flores card in Liverpool, but Coldwell says that if Joshua needs a challenger in November, Price is totally up for it. In fact, Coldwell says that if A.J won’t face Price in a voluntary defence, he will look to fight unbeaten New Zealander Joseph Parker so as to earn a shot at the IBF champ. Parker of course, is Joshua’s mandatory but he might have to wait a few months before he gets his shot – would the talented New Zealander look to take a risky fight with Price as he looks to keep himself sharp?
READ David Price says he KO’d Anthony Joshua in sparring, wants opportunity to try and do it again in IBF challenge
Price can and always could punch, and that KO he scored over Joshua sure has got people talking. If we really do get to see Price the bad guy, the nasty puncher, the merciless slugger, it will be most interesting. Frank Bruno was always tagged as being “too nice,” yet he finally managed to win the big one, the WBC crown, at the fourth attempt. Maybe Price will use the criticism against him in his own quest to prove the doubters wrong.
Just who will Joshua fight next? We must wait and see, but if it is Price, and if a vicious and determined Price uses his size, strength, power and aggression against the still-learning champ, anything could happen.

Wilder expects to return by January 2017
The team of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder anticipates that the “Bronze Bomber” will return no later than January 2017. After his July bout with Chris Arreola, Wilder was taken to UAB Hospital for an MRI that confirmed a broken hand and torn bicep injuries, both of which required surgery.
Deontay Wilder: “I’ve always known that my body is a fast healing body because I am an elite athlete and the doctor confirmed that. We’re going to pick up where we left off. I’m looking forward to unifying the division. That’s my main goal. I don’t want to stop. I don’t need a tune-up. I don’t need a warm-up. I don’t need none of that. Once everything is healed with the arm, I’m going to get back to right where I left off.”
Dr. Jimmy Robinson: “The surgeries were completed by well-renowned surgeons and were an absolute success. I anticipate that Wilder will be back fighting by the end of this year or January of next year. As he is healing, part of his rehab will be to restore range motion to the elbow and get his strength back, which will expedite his recovery. The repair to his right hand should make it as solid and as strong as it can be, so that no further injuries are sustained. In fact, with his rehab, I anticipate the power in his right hand only to increase.”
Promoter Lou DiBella: “We’re thrilled that both surgeries were so successful and that Deontay is on the road back. He’s a dedicated champion and will work diligently to return better than ever. It’s great for Deontay, boxing and the heavyweight division that he will be able to defend his title when the calendar turns to 2017.”
Trainer Jay Deas: “Deontay and I will be working out as he heals so that he will be prepared the moment he is fully healed. He will be in the gym working on conditioning, his footwork, and we’ll be working his left hand overtime so that when the right hand is cleared, we will be ready to take a fight. I think Deontay will be ready to fight by the last part of this year or by January the latest.”

Fred Kassi will be a good test to see where Miller is at. Kassi is pretty awkward.
RE: Heavyweight Division - NakiFan - 08-19-2016
130+kg of average. I watched a number of his fights, and when he steps up, Big Baby will get schooled.

Big Baby: I still want to break Wilder’s jaw
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller passed his toughest test with a third-round TKO over gatekeeper Fred Kassi last night in front of a national TV audience on Showtime and a live crowd at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, NY.
“I knew it would take some time to get going tonight. I was thinking maybe three or four rounds to warm up and get going. But in the second round, I got my wind and I knew I hurt him,” said Miller. “My legs came alive and I touched his body and his head. I knew I was going to get the stoppage. I think he could have continued, though. He just didn’t want to. That’s why I take my hat off to Deontay Wilder. I still want to break his jaw, but he finished his fight with a broken hand. That’s what champions do. Kassi didn’t want to continue.
“Let’s talk about all these heavyweights. Tyson Fury, he doesn’t want this work. He’s always complaining. He’s always sick or something. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Wilder, every five minutes he breaks another finger. Look, it’s just a matter of time before these guys are going to have to put up or shut up. Anthony Joshua, that’s going to be a mega fight. I am just begging for him to call my name.”
