@Thomastearns ._.
Now beating Miller would be a real statement, but I fear that is now well beyond the old boy's capabilities. He hits hard but you need concussive power to discourage the big baby, and he doesn't have that kind of power. He sure as hell he wouldn't outlast him either, and now having given the match some thought, I believe it would turn out to be a very uncomfortable experience for the Cuban gentleman at this stage of their respective careers.
Maybe on reflection he should save his statement for the Cojanu fight afterall.

All good and true. Only problem is a win over Cojanu is unlikely to lead to el Dorado and time is short for the Cuban 'King Kong'.
Unfortunately for Louis his pro career career got off to an even later start than Golovkin's, albeit with a far less accomplished amateur career.
The tremendously difficult decision to defect and turn pro has cost him dearly. He now needs to cash in quick and secure his pension asap. The alternative is not worth considering.

Yes it's a real shame he didn't take on Joshua when he was the WBA mandatory, rather than going after Wilder. He'd be all set up for his retirement now. I guess he's got Haymon to thank for that inspired piece of brilliant decision-making.

The statement Ortiz should have made was to get lawyered up and show the jury the video tape of round eight vs Wilder, if they can even find it, the round they've scoured off the internet!

They have removed that too?
Stiverne vs Ray Austin is also suddenly removed, Stiverne vs forgot his name hasn't even been on at all as far as I know, I guess it's all part of the
hypejobscam that's ruining heavyweight boxing for many years now.
Many years indeed. Try to find an unedited unspliced video of Henry Cooper vs Cassius Clay 1, the round and between round after Cooper put Clay on queer street and Dundee did his monkey business with the glove. I doubt that Wilder vs. Sconiers is available either.

‘Big Baby’ Miller will be working on the the commentating team for the Whyte-Parker fight.
Is it clear enough yet ‘Big Baby’ is being groomed as Joshua's opponent for April 13th at Wembley?

Lucky I know you're taking the piss or I'd be recommending you get a visit from the men in white coats.
Like a chess player Eddie is thinking ahead. Miller is somewhere on Joshua's path given that he's fast running out of meaningful opponents that he hasn't already beaten. I think Eddie is hopeful Wilder will take that date, if not then why not Miller?
Whether it's Wilder, Miller, or AN Other it makes sense to build Miller's profile in the UK because at some point he's likely to fight Joshua or even Whyte.

I know but those people wouldn't recognize irony if it bit them on their arse.
