I am starting to feel Wilder is the most exciting boxer in the Heavyweight. Put Pulev vs Wlad and you will get a safe TKO or UD Put Pulev vs Wilder & you bet your life it will be a KO Once Wilder lands the first clean punch, he recklessly moves in for the KO. Its one thing when a short guy jumps in looking for the KO cause he just has to get inside, but its better when rangier guys come to the ring looking for KOs, because they can force the issue using the range for pure offense instead hiding behind the height
First, I am going to repeat ver batum my post from the other thread: It is astonishing that the same guys who degrade and disrespect those who earn their shots will turn around and hype the Deontay Wilders, Seth Mitchels, Amir Mansours, and even Joe Hanks of the world. Pulev has an excellent, excellent heavyweight record. In 18 fights he has beaten Thompson, Ustinov, Dimentrenko, Skelton, Sprott, Rossy, Guinn, Vidoz. Page, Oloukun, and Walker. HE HAS FOUGHT ONLY 2 FIGHTERS WITH LOSING RECORDS. Pulev has earned his shot, and anyone who does not understand that is a bonafide idiot. Now let me add: Wilder is the anit-Pulev, a guy who is "earning" his place by only now, after 30 fights, taking on washed up has beens or never-weres like Audley Harrison, Owen Beck, Manswell, Price, and an oft beaten Lyakovich. And, since he has been put down by Harold Scoiners and Dusitn Nicholes (yeah, it was a knockdown) there is, at this point, no indication that Wilder belongs in the same ring with Pulev, the same city, the same country, or the same galaxy. Peace
Pulev vs Wilder is much more interesting than Wlad & its a better fight for Pulev (if he is really that good). A good test for Wilder to see how hard he really punches! Say what you say about Wilder, but he earned his way to fight Pulev :yep
This fight can go either way, but I can't get the thought of Wilder jumping him with crude punches to earn his 30th KO...Unless Pulev is something special
Backing up in straight lines is the worst thing you can do against Wilder he follows through with every punch Pulev's chin is good though will be interesting to see how he takes a Wilder right hand
Wilder doesn't match up particularly well with Pulev (and that's who I'd bet on), but it's a fight I'd like to see regardless.
Earned his way to fight Pulev? What does that even mean? Pulev will be fighting for the belt now while wilder scours hospital wards, old folks homes, bars and homeless shelters for his next opponent.
No one knows how Wilder will do if he can't KO somebody. If Pulev chin withstands the expected onslaught, he will win and make a name for himself. I am 100% sure a fight vs Wlad is already an This content is protected in his record, for reasosn discussed in the Pulev will get killed by Wlad. If he fights Wilder, he has to worry about Power, not so much about being outboxed.
Its simple, if Wilder is so easy. It will be a walk in the park for Pulev...Wilder is a Bronze Medalist, Chrasimatic and has a perfect 29-0 (KO 29) record...Love him or hate him he is the bigger name and earned to fight anybody he wants...:yep
The real answer to this question is : Possibly. However this fight is at the very least 1,5-2 years away. Pulev is at the top of the ladder now, knocking on the door of the champ. Wilder is at the bottom of the ladder trying to find washed up former title holders from 7-10 years ago. In 3-4 fights I believe Wilder will be knocking on the door of someone of Pulev's level and then we will get to see who wins.
I saw Pulev beat 6 foot 8 inch 300 lb. plus Ustinov. Pulev did a fantastic job of boxing. Wilder ran from Thompson, refused to fight him, he refused to fight Jennings, won't fight Scott, won't fight Wach, Chisora, refused to fight Arreola, however, he will dig up someone from the graveyard, you can bet on that. Wilder could not compete with Vlad in sparing for the Wach fight, no contest. Hell, I doubt if Wilder could beat Oliver McCall! Wilder has never fought any ranked fighter period. Wilder was simply lucky to get the bronze. Vlad earned the Gold Medal.....................
Uh...no. Pulev is now a mandatory, Wilder is nothing. Pulev will get his shot, Wilder will be finding another one-eyed hell' angel to conquer.
