    I'll go with the latter. But its probably a little bit of both. Millers #3 across the board for Joshua in terms of mandatory. He probably figures its more trouble than its worth when he can just wait and hope someone puts mileage on AJ. Miller seems like a decent dude out of the ring but its probably the same motivation as most of the fighters today. He wants money and doesn't want someone like Pulev drawing back the curtain on his deficiencies(not that theyre already quite apparent). He'd rather get paid big to lose than take a chance and get paid smaller to win, secure his position for the winner of Wilder/ Joshua which will probably be the second fight at Wembly.

    Miller likes to hang straight back and try to counter aggressors at theyre leaning into his counters. Not a very god style match up for Pulev that likes to throw punches in bunches and a straight line approach. Miller could wind up on his back a few times from some off balance flashies.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Yep and disappointing. It honestly reads a bit like the Wilder situation. But at least Wilder took a flight or two to actually get to a 'bigger show'. Miller now positions himself waiting on a geriatric Fres Oquendo who has not fought in 4+ yrs or Charr for empty belt who has never come to the States. I think both might be over estimating a strap rather than significance of a bigger win. Miller looked to be pushing many of his punches last out. Quicker than one would think given his size but after initial bursts he just kind of hangs in close.

    Fighters like Miller are what counter my newly-found enthusiasm for the heavyweight division after the Joshua-Wlad fight.

    It's official. I'm 100 percent done with Miller, fights a complete dumpster fire. And just think..he swerved Pulev to focus on the possibility of facing Oquendo .

    With Kuzmin looking to face Price also, it's all getting a bit silly.

    He was meant to fight Szpilka but couldn't agree the deal so Adamek stepped in. Miller has signed with Hearn so is just hanging around for the big payday as Joshua's USA debut
