eitherway pulev actually deserves a shot, the poor sods had so many eliminators.. he still hasnt shown a hint of having what it takes, but currently looks at the front end of a poor crop of contenders.
Pulev has said he wants to fight someone else before he fights Wlad. Therefore Wlad will probably have a voluntary defense before fighting Pulev.
so if its true pulev does not wanna fight wlad yet. in the meantime it would be great if we can get stiverne/wlad
Pulev has as good a chance as anybody (except Vitali). Good jab, good chin, moves well, very adaptive. While slightly shorter than Wlad, he's bulky, so he weighs about the same as Wlad. Idk if Wlad can dominate him physically. Wlad probably fights Pulev on the outside. Battle of the jabs. It's a good fight. Decent style match-up. After the last fight I'm not 100% Wlad will face Pulev. He might vacate the IBF belt. Wlad will probably want to rematch Povetkin eventually (another big pay-day) and Boystov and Adamek would be better warm-up fights for that purpose. And if Haye beats Fury, then the Haye-Wlad rematch will be the higher priority and the bigger payday.
Highly doubtful Wlad will trash his title and duck Pulev. Pulev wasn't terribly convincing against Thompson, whom Wlad dominated and knocked out. This is a pretty left field prediction.
Pulev would be a harder fight than Fury sadly. A couple punches from Wlad and thats all she wrote for glass jaw.
i didnt ask if wlad will knock him out.....i asked if pulev is getting next crack at grabimir...can you not read fukin english
Vlad did mention fighting Wilder next, and then he will fight Pulev whenever Pulev wants the fight.............Vlad was going to fight Seth Mitchell but Mitchell got knocked out two times. Vlad was also going to fight Jennings, but it was turned down by USTV. Looks as if Arreola will fight Stiverne in a rematch................
