    With Pulev annoyingly now in line for a mandatory shot at Joshua's IBF title, how long will he want for a camp this time before we have to watch Joshua take out another over matched faded former contender?

    Well, just more than couple of weeks, which is normal thing to want, not something special.

    Last time he asked for a lot more than a couple of weeks - he wanted 4 months having already been mando for a decent amount of time so it's not like he didn't know it was going to happen.

    **** or get off the pot.

    There's only 5 guys to be an actual threat to Joshua and each don't actually have odds in their favor. The sole guy is actually Wilder just cause a freak accident could happen ......it's HW boxing !

    Pulev isn't one of those 5 guys so having defeated a Fury name will be smart to collect his big payday and while looking sharp Hugh ie isn't Joshua....

    This. He's tailor-made for Joshua and he knows it.

    Not 4, but 3.Three months is ok.Couple of weeks is a joke for such a big fight.Pulev isn't a journeyman.It's more complicated than you think, it's not "you know it will happen some day, so you should be ready", there are sparrings, there is the best form for the date, there are some things to eat and clean for the date.

    He should use Pulev as a warm up knock him out on the undercard then fight Whyte in the main event. Honestly Pulev is no threat at all, none.

    Whyte isn't a threat too to be honest. Besides left hook, what does Whyte have? And AJ will be ready for his left this time.

    Pulev is an intelligent guy and I think he knows stylistically he just doesn't have anything for Joshua.

    I wouldn't be shocked if he went another route tbh.

    He said 3-4 and judging by his reluctance I'd say he'd be more likely to aim for 4.

    And if he doesn't live the life all year round that's his problem. He worked his way to mandatory challenge and had the fight ordered, this wasn't a surprise for him he was just being difficult not realising he's not the champ and the division will happily move on without him.

    Oh and he wasn't offered a 'few weeks' as you tried to make out, he was offered ample time.

    Neither would I. He might well go for the WBAloney 'regular' title unless he's given a 60/40 split in his favour and the fight in Sofia.
