    Pulev couldn't stop shot to **** Kingpin in spite of landing dozens of rabbit punches

    One judge gave KJ a round, must like a spoiling punch bag.

    Embodiment of this "new age, reborn, super fascinating Heavyweight division" we keep hearing about.

    Heavyweight division would be that if these guys would fight each other. The way things are setup, once they get to contender status, they wait for their shot instead of contenders fighting. When they do then you get something like Whyte/Chisora, Breazeale/Ugonoh.

    It was the first round dude... Pulev didn't throw a single punch.

    Considering those four men to be contenders is furthering my point exactly.

    Top 10 fighters

    Perhaps a couple could be "fringe" contenders. A necessary distinction.

    I think Parker is Pulev's best shot at getting a title.

    Well I think that after we find out the winner of the Joshua - Klitschko tomorrow, the IBF title will be vacated and Pulev will have to face probably Takam for it.

    Neither were any good on their best days, never mind after career changing beatings they've both suffered

    I agree Pulev was pretty lacklustre, rate him below Ortiz and Parker tbh although he was good vs Chisora.
