    I don't think think Wlad is bothered about the jackass IBF. Pulev would get stopped mid rounds, no doubt about it.

    I would prefer if Wlad retired. Really would. However if he doesn't, I think he and Joshua should work out a deal. Joshua takes on Pulev and Wlad meets the Briggs vs Oquendo winner in a final fight in Ukraine. It will keep him active and he'll beat either one of them.
    Then final match vs Joshua.
    Although again I prefer he calls it a day

    Well if the fight happens we can put a little wager on that. I don't think Joshua just goes through Pulev. Pulev has a VERY good jab and decent pop. He has good skills too. If Dominick and Whyte can last 7 rounds... Kubrat can too. Will he win? The odds will be against him no doubt. But stranger things have happened.

    Pulev already proved he's better than Whyte with his display on Chisora.

    If WK comes back for one last dance they could pay Pulev step-aside. Considering the rematch would once again do many tens of millions that should be easy to do.

    Obviously you're not here with us.
    Pulev is an absolute joke to Aj

    Thank you! Some on here referring to Pulev as a "joke" are talking out of their ass.

    You would think Pulev would want this fight, it's the biggest out there for him. A shot at the belt, a stadium fight with the man that beat Wlad.

    I would predict a Joshua knockout victory. I just can't see Pulev having an answer for the left hook. And once he does he'll just start biting on feints and over reacting to it.

    Pulev doesn't throw enough punches to win on the road even if he managed to survive and have success. Had Wlad not been knocked down in the 11th, he'd have needed to win the 11th and 12th to salvage a draw, and I don't see any way Pulev has that kind of success. I'm not sold he's fixed his left hook defense at all.

    Probably Joshua KO mid to late, or wide UD at worst. This wouldn't be a bad opponent to get some rounds in on and work on conditioning.

    Douglas v.s Tyson. Rahman v.s Lewis. Sanders v.s Wlad. Moorer v.s Foreman.

    Yes.. stranger things have happened. You a liiiiiitle too high on Joshua there dude :) He's NOT invincible. That's already been proven on multiple occasions. To say a fighter like Pulev has ZERO chance is foolish.

    Too salvage a draw? One judge had Wladimir ahead and the other two had it close for Joshua. If Wlad had one the 11th and 12th he would have no doubt won the fight.
