who wins?

Pulev

Good fight where Pulev will do enough with his jab to UD Miller. Lets be honest though, this fight will NEVER happen.

think pulev does well early with his solid jab but miller heats up and eventually takes over.

I can't put a lot of faith in a flabby, nearly 300 lb. heavyweight being successful at the top.

The fact that Miller seems to devour right hands as eagerly as he does dessert also doesn't spell well for his future.

Pulev takes over midway through the bout and stops the Big Baby late.

Miller wins very easy.... Pulev sucks.

Miller is a great Heavyweight.... I think he beats Pulev, Wilder, Breazeale, Martin, Parker, Hughie, Ruiz, and Takam.

He's got a nice smooth jab with a lot of weight behind it... Pulev has a power jab like Foreman... It's easily beaten.

"Miller is a great heavyweight"

Surely you jest. Miller's stock went way down when he fought an out of shape Mariusz Wach . Miller was wide open to a knockout punch all night long but unfortunately Wach had injured his hand and couldn't punch.

Pulev vs Miller - My man from Sofia the favorite two to one.

Depends on where it happens... because both will probably end up working equally but what will be scored is what will mater. Miller will throw the bigger bombs and better body work. but Pulev's superior craftiness and more compact style might end up being more efficient from the pocket boundary. Miller is after all wild and wide... the stamina is ?... he often ends up throwing one shot bombs and holding for late rounds... Pulev is more intelligent and wastes less. Miller's liver bombs are very dangerous... Pulev's counter hook/45 could be a problem when Miller squares up on the inside.

Miller gets death by jab. Pulev wins easily.

Pulev UD Miller. Wach fought Miller and it was winnable for him, if not broken hand

more interestinq question is who will be oponent for Jacobs?

..I hope one day we'll see Miller Lite, until then I'll go with Pulev..

As long as Pulev doesn't get suddenly old, I'd pick him as the favorite over Miller.

Don't see this happening. Risky fight for Miller when he can probably bide his time and wait for Hearn to give him the shot at AJ.

That's a big problem with boxing now - aside from all the corruption - part of it actually - they are all thinking like that, their handlers that is. Don't risk our cash cow because he can make big money for us in a big fight, so why take a chance on him getting KO'd in Podunk or Sofia?

I wouldn't mind this matchup. As others have said, can't see it happening. Miller probably will not be allowed to risk his 0 until it's big payday time. All he has to do is fight 2-3 Wilder type opponents and wait until AJ is free end of next year. Pulev is too big a risk.

I think Pulev, on points

50/50 fight to me. I could see Pulev outhustling him down the stretch and taking a decision though.

If this fight is lined up, probably 60-40 to me. Miller has more confidence, and Pulev has to redeem himself after pulling out of the fight with AJ.....AGAIN. Miller is more in his prime, and Pulev is serious about it, I look forward to the fight.

People are talking about how these fighters may not want to jeopardize a title shot by losing. But, realistically, they could also jeopardize a title shot by winning. Imagine Miller emphatically beating Pulev or vice versa. The winner would be immensely avoided and terrifying, just like Luis Ortiz was before he started getting old. Like, you think Wilder or Parker would fight the WINNER of Pulev - Miller? Absolutely no way.

Pulev wont fight miller.

Somehow I can't imagine the wildly confident Wilder trembling in his booties over the prospect of fighting a Pulev or a Miller.


The heavyweight landscape isn't particularly frightening.

But he's never fought a top 9 opponent ever.

It's pretty debatable whether Stiverne ever genuinely deserved a top 10 ranking, and I'm certain that he'll never accrue any further achievements to support the idea that he was. However, whether he was or wasn't, there's definitely no way he was any better than exactly #10.

Pulev isn't difficult to hit (especially now since he's older and slower) and Miller has power.

Miller wins by KO/TKO, unless Pulev survives until Miller gasses, then Pulev may win by close decision.
