He'd have steamrolled Pulev and set himself up for a mandatory shot at AJ but no, he wants to fight Manuel Charr or as it turns out, Bogdan Dinu.

You're bigger than that Jarrell (I was going to say 'better' but that seems more apt )

From what he's shown against the opposition he's faced, I think Pulev would school him

I'm sure Miller isn't likely to outbox Pulev, but he'd keep coming and throwing punches in high volume. Pulev at 37 is unlikely to outlast Miller who has very good stamina for a man pushing 300lbs, and I don't believe Pulev has the power to discourage him. Having said that I expected Fury to have the stamina advantage over Pulev and I was definitely wrong about that.

I don't suppose we will get the chance to see our respective opinions put to the test because it seems Miller wants his first opponent with world level credentials to be Joshua. Hardly the mentality of a real future champion.

"I no understand question, vat is deer in headlights?"

Love it !

No doubt Miller is being very careful with his approach to a potential big money matchup with AJ.

From what we've seen from him so far, quite rightly so.

Agreed, there is a lot of money on the line for him making it to a fight with AJ undefeated. The problem I have, as a fan of boxing, is we the fans are going to see a guy step in the ring completely unprepared for the level of opposition, and be paying top dollar for the "privilege"
And that sucks.

Dinu weighed. 237¼ pounds.

That's only a fatted lamb less than Miller, or 78 pounds for those not familiar with sheep farming.
To be fair to Dinu, he looked in really good shape.

Miller weighed in at 315 lbs ........... once again , 315 f#cking lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miller is ranked #4 in the world by Boxrec, Dinu #56.

Miller's doing good now at age 30, but chances are in 10 to 20 years he'll have diabetes, heart disease...

They say Dinu will be tougher fight than Wach and Duhaupas.

Schwarz is nothing special at all. He fought Christian Lewandowski tonight, who gave him hell. He was poorly conditioned, soft around the middle and although he managed to stop the big German in the sixth, his face was a mess by the end of it.

Horrific worthless match up that was.

Simms and his "i was just feeling out the weight" excuse was pathetic for that low of a level opponent at this stage.

Surprised people are saying Rios looked shot. He always gets tagged. It's impossible for him not to get hit. Looked rusty in the first round, but Alvarez came to win. Alvarez looked in ridiculous shape. He came at his best while Rios came in chubby and probably half-trained since they said the wildfire kept him away from the gym.

If anyone wants to see scary, watch his fight with Aaron Herrera. He looked completely shot. I thought Danny Garcia was digging up a corpse, but Rios goes on to give a very respectable performance against Garcia. Easily, Rios looked his best in years, almost like a throwback to his 135 days. I didn't see that coming considering how god-awful he looked a fight prior.
