    On the seen.

    I didn't think Pulev would be getting that much but I guess he has to have a certain percentage as mandatory.

    What's Wilder's biggest ever purse 1.5mill? LMAO

    Yeah that's why Pulev turned down the fight last year. He's played the game well... Definitely cashing out here.

    Surprised Pulev's getting that much. After his loss he can retire after having made a very nice amount of cash.

    Pulevs resume is more or less on par with Wilders.... Chisora, Ustinov, Dimitrenko, Thompson vs. Stiverne, Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka and Washington. Wilder has a slight edge in quantity but not quality... Pulev has also stepped in with Klitschko and is about to step in with Joshua.

    Hat's off to the Bulgarian. He's earned it by having a resume that's on par with the current WBC champion who's been holding a world title for almost 3 years! Logistically somebody credibility Pulev will have a better chance of saving and investing his money than the current WBC champion who has a "fleet" of vehicles.

    Had Wilder fought Whyte and won, I'm certain he and Joshua
    would've been next in the pipeline. It was clearly meant to be a gage
    to see how Wilder did with another common opponent. Wilder's an idiot though.

    Considering Dimitrenko was in his prime and Ustinov was undefeated I definitely think Pulev's resume surpasses Wilder's. The only undefeated contender that three year champion Wilder has beaten is a 34 YO football reject that drew with a 43 YO Mansour. :ohno

    Move over Money May. It's Lev Pulev's time to shine! The Bill Gates of Bulgaria doesn't have much of a chance to win the battle with Anthony Joshua, but he's won the war on life. It's not often one man becomes a nation's largest export.

    Respect.

    Pulev underrated he'd be Wilder's best opponent to date.

    Pulev>Steiverne, especially this version.
    Prime Pulev vs Prime Stevierne is 50/50.

    Steiverne beat Arreola to become champ, Pulev would've done the same

    I don't think prime stiverne vs Pulev is 50/50, I think Pulev is better full stop.

    Let's think about this, Stiverne is rated because he beat Arreola. Is Stiverne actually any better than a Chisora/Whyte level of fighter? I don't think so.

    Also Pulev has a very good jab, that basically favors him over Stiverne every day of the week.

    Pulev has a solid resume and is being overlooked, Wlad was awesome against Pulev. One of Wlads last great performances.
