I'm going to go against the grain on this one and say that Miller's style is a risk, if he can take AJs punches late (he's supposed to have an excellent chin) he could spring the upset.

I used to think AJ was invincible. Then Parker, and later Povetkin, gave him a good challenge. So...I think Miller is in with a chance. I'd say he has the same chance as Povetkin had.

They're all as bad as each other imo. AJ and Hearn aren't entirely innocent in all of this either (mainly Hearn). About a year ago he held all the cards until Fury came along which is a good thing as it's putting pressure on Hearn and AJ to fight Wilder and Fury instead of fighting Miller, Pulev, Whyte and Kownacki to see them through to 2021 which no-one wants to see.
For all the rubbish Wilder cops for his awful opposition (myself included), he did step up and face Ortiz and Fury last year and will rematch Fury again so he is obviously willing to fight the best (finally). Surely AJ fights the winner of Fury v Wilder next, no excuses.

I don't think AJ has ever looked invincible, infact he looks like he's been on wobbly legs a few times. You must have watched a different AJ/Parker fight to me, the one I remember Parker barely threw a punch and didn't win a round.

I hope Wilder and Fury fight again, it's taking along time to announce.
Quote:Once proceedings finally got under way, Joshua pulled no punches about the unbeaten Miller's credentials, saying the 300-pound slugger "punches like a fairy" and was the "softest puncher in the heavyweight division".
