Pulev "wasn't ready" and was held back by his own Promoter moron. Otherwise he would have gotten Wlad last Fall :roflatsch
:nut So stupid. It's not just the WBO belt, Wlad is also not ranked because he holds the IBF and WBA. No organization ranks the Champions of an opposing organization. So your saying Wlad should drop all his belts in the hopes the WBC may or may not rank him.
Wlad will fight Pulev when the IBF finally puts enough pressure on him to do so. Otherwise, nobody cares about Pulev. I'd much rather see Wlad in with some tough Americans, but maybe that's just me.
If Pulev said 'no' the IBF would of snatched his mando spot clean out of his hands. It never happened. He said he would continue to fight until he gets the shot and K-tards interrupted that statement as him saying 'im not ready'nutatsch
You fool, Povetkin did the very same thing for 2+ years until the IBF took his mandatory spot away. You think they'll do anything different for Pulev?
Not TT's problem that Chambers pulled out to injury. He fulfilled his obligations to be granted the mandatory, end of story.
Stiverne could be a force if he worked on head movement and stamina. He has a decent jab, a good chin (He took shots from Arreola), good body work, and good counter-punching ability.
Stiverne has a huge punch but at this stage i cant tell if his top class or over acheiving a bit. Only has two decent wins, stopping ray austin( afight he was losing on the cards) and beating Arreola( the broken nose could have had a big effect on Arreola's performance) Before the Austin fight he was seen as been on the same prospect level as Kertson Mansell , He did have a decent amateur career and has at least a punchers chance against anyone in the division, but Wlad would do serious damage to him if they fight
So you moved on from asking me this stupid question over and over again to other posters, hoping the answer will change and you will feel like a man again. The situations weren't the same. Chambers pulled out just weeks before the fight with an injury and a new date was refused by Chamber's team. Pulev/Adamek was never set. It was refused very early in the negotiation stage by Adame's team,and another opponent was found in Thompson.
No. Exact same situation. No different. Exact same Thompson got fast tracked because he was easy picking. No other reason. End of story. That's all there is to it . Case closed. Point proven. Onto the next.
