    Yes he declined,AJ and Eddie Hearn wanted it but Pulev didn't,the difference between having a loss on the record and being unbeaten is huge,one can afford to take on anyone the other is still in rebuilding stage.

    There is a very good chance of a rematch before Joshua fights anyone else, rematch clause, they both had one in their contracts..........Wilder has no chance against Joshua or Vlad, Wilder will run away and fight another wino, watch and see..............

    Joshua didn't have to, but Fury's case was quite different. He had already said no to the K2 deal, but when at the day of the pursebids it looked like the fight might very well end up in Russia he suddenly went with the K2 deal anyway. Actually clearly bending the rules because the bidding process had already started.
    So he went for the K2 contract instead, and that cost him some perks and probably money.

    But all of this may not happen if Wlad demands a rematch and the splintering continues...

    Pulev is a poor man's version of Wlad.

    Pulev's a very good jabber, and had a bit of a mare with Wlad fight night. One of those days I think. Got caught early and didn't recover from Klitschko. Thought he was very dominant win against Chisora. Joshua will win, but won't be a easy fight

    Pulev's a mediocre jabber, but since that's the only thing he does well it stands out, I suppose.

    Honestly, I was never impressed with Pulev even before the Wlad fight, and he's regressed since then.

    Joshua would splatter him.

    They really should show videos of the lab technicians taking joshua's sample then laughing hysterically as they toss it down the toilet.

    Exactly. Another fun video would be the closed door conversations Hearn has with UKAD. Imagine THAT envelope! :eeek:

    I've only seen Pulev once and that was highlights of his loss to Wlad.

    I hear hes good so it should be a good fight. Many have him ranked higher than my man Parker so Id defintely watch this.

    I hope you don't bet your house on Pulev Koing Joshua, you'd end up homeless.

    Sure Pulev was a top Amateur but did he win Olympic gold like Joshua. Sure he's a top pro, but has he won 2 world titles like Joshua? What makes you think a guy who got dropped by Joey Abell who took the fight at late notice can beat Joshua? What tools does he have, I've listed my reasons why I think Joshua will win, what are your reasons?

    What are his keys to victory other than being an inferior amateur, an inferior pro, being beaten by a man Joshua just beat and going 12 rounds with a guy a raw Joshua blew away in 2 rounds.
