    Lool whyte just doesn’t care, he’s making a lot of noise and Pulev would be a huge win..

    I personally think Whyte is still improving each fight and he could learn a lot from Pulev, which can help his all around boxing game going into a World title fight

    If it happens I hope Whyte wins but tbh it’s a tough fight, got no idea on this one

    people are going over the top with whyte because he beat a fat thing in brown lol he got a gift against chisora and was hurt by helenius if in better shape could have won and he just got a gift to a trash can pulev wins easy could even stop whyte late different class

    Whyte KO’s Chisora next time around but still think Pulev or Povetkin is too big a gamble to take when you have a possible huge money fight in the horizon be it 2019 if it has to be.

    I agree that his CV can be pulled apart somewhat, having done the same thing myself before the Browne fight. That said, he’ll learn tons from fighting the likes of Pulev, whom whilst a better boxer will be 37, inactive, slow and not the biggest of punchers.

    I know what you mean but I don't think pulev takes this fight unless he knows his gonna win and imo if he has any ambition he wins and makes it look easy like when he fought chisora

    Would go for pulev easily before povetkin yeah he is 38 and defo on slide but when seen press concern etc build up he never ever thought he was losing price and if he beats whyte he gets aj payday he wouod be shape and povetkin shape is dangerous for whyte whereas pulev more inactive injuries has a gd Jab but seems lack big ko power wouod say if it whyte povetkin be 35 /65 povetkin favour and if against pulev he wouod be 65-35 fav. .would need good card sell well if pulev

    Not a bad fight, actually. Risky for Whyte and it's a pick em from my perspective.

    Is the demand there for AJ Whyte 2?

    I can’t see that being an easy sell unless Whyte can get the WBC belt first.

    Not really on these boards or with anyone I'd call a regular boxing fan outside of Sky. But if you take to the ungodly world of Twitter you'll be sure to find plenty.

    I mean, there wasn't any real demand for Haye-Bellew, as I recall. Not here or anywhere worth knowing at least

    Pulev would be a much easier fight than Povetkin. Povetkin would beat him for sure....................Pulev might not.................
