Going by the age of their opponents on fight night.
The last 5 average age
Wilder 34.4
Jushua 35.2
Nearly identical

Done quickly, maybe slightly off:
AJ - 35.2
Wilder - 34.4
T Fury - 33.6
Whyte - 33.4
Povetkin - 32.2
Ortiz - 30
Miller - 37.2 (39 if he fights Fres)

Wladimir Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin and Carlos Takam distort the figures somewhat.

If we were to calculate the average age of an AJ opponent, excluding Povetkin and Klitschko, so using his most recent six bouts, it drops to 31 years and one month.

No one can possibly pretend that the average Anthony Joshua opponent is in the same ballpark age-wise as those veterans that Jarrell Miller continually faces.

I don't think anyone compared Joshua's opponents ages to Miller's. We did a quick comparison of Wilders and Joshuas and the where with in 8 months of each other.
I do not see anyone comparing that to Millers

Sorry, the last sentence in my post was more of a pre-emptive strike, not targeted at you or anyone specific, as I knew that "someone" would try to challenge me.

Either way, obviously Miller wins this and will probably end very early.
I don't think even a prime Oquendo would have won this, a 6ft2 guy that lost against Jean Mormac doesn't stand much of a chance against a 300 pounder who's even less or more in shape at that weight. I think the odds are higher that Miller fails a test then that he would lose against Oquendo in the ring.

Dinu v Bryan would be interesting, or how about Dinu v Hammer to determine the best Romanian Heavyweight, even those two would be quite a step up in level?

Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑25 Oct 2018, 05:34 According to an ESPN.com report Wednesday night, the inactive, 45-year-old contender turned down a fight for what will be a vacant version of the WBA’s heavyweight title. Oquendo reportedly was offered $500,000 to fight unbeaten Jarrell Miller on November 17 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but he declined that bout because Oquendo doesn’t think there’s enough time to properly implement Voluntary Anti-Doping Association testing for performance-enhancing drugs.

ESPN.com also reported Miller now likely will box Bogdan Dinu at Boardwalk Hall three weeks from Saturday night. Romania’s Dinu has accepted promoter Eddie Hearn’s offer to meet Miller, whose approval was needed as of Wednesday night to finalize the deal.

Hmm is he worried about not having enough time to make sure Miller is not doping or not enough time for himself to cycle of from the gear?
