Heavyweight Division

ummmm not really
I have always thought Miller has been manufactured as a AJ doorway to the USA opponent for years
His bulk and workrate may carry him some rounds but as such an easy target he seems made to measure for a AJ KO

[craigyid14]

It seems Whyte is pricing himself out of a title shot, crazy really. Miller's unworthy but if you're AJ what can you do? Wilder and Fury look set to fight each other, the only thing to do is look good knocking out Miller and move on.

Always the issue with a guy in Whyte's position. Do you take the low money hoping you win, with the rewards coming afterwards. Or do you play hardball to get the money you deserve with the chance that the champ will look elsewhere. With Parker, he had a belt, so Mr Higgins had an easier time with Hearn.

Hard to know with EH what exactly his thinking is.
Perhaps throwing offers to other fights is to try and get Dil to take a lower offer, EH knows Dil wants the fight- it will sell well in UK as Whyte is extremely popular.
Hearn has no interest in the big 2 at the moment and would take some$$ to pull 1 away from the rematch which will be lucrative as it is and also the fact AJ could lose to either.
Miller is the only other serious option so I reckon EH is bargaining between the 2 for the better price.
Which ever way they go the fight will be 2nd billing to Tyson v Wilder 2

Sounds like AJ v Miller has been signed for June 1st in NYC

[bart]

probably been EH plan all along
Makes sense gateway to US and Millers mouth will help make it $$
He will tell Whyte he needs 1 more big fight.... again Breazeale is winable but Ortiz or Povetkin 50/50 at best.
I was hoping for Breazeale v JP but EH may have that nailed down

I like this match up. I think Miller is a top 5 heavyweight. Let's see what he's got...

Lol.Miller is barely top 10 let alone top 5.

Could maybe have been Miller and Parker, that may be about equal.. these the guys Jo should be fighting in my opinion
