    I dont know how anyone could get on with that rodent. the mention of klitschkos name or any praise of the great man provokes a post traumatic meltdown of the highest order, he hates him with such a passion like he murdered his kid or something, yet if someone murdered your kid most people wouldnt wanna speak about the murderer all day every day and until the early hours of the morning.

    he also hates anyone connected to wlad - vitali, usyk & ggg (k2), and is obsessed hoping wlads resume gets worse and joshuas gets better. he discusses wlad non stop on a daily basis like hes a current fighter. hes a total oddball.

    Volodymyr Volodymyrovych Klychko ruined his life for sure.

    Pulev is terrible, no where near deserves a title shot

    The HW divison is the strongest its been since Lewis and much stronger than the overrated Tyson 80s era.

    Eh, don't think so buddy. I doubt he beats Pulev and Povetkin would beat the crap out of him.

    I think Bruno/Pulev would be close. Pulev is just so damn awkward with that guard, jab and grab style, unless you do something to counter it you'll always find it hard to beat him.

    But Pulev doesn't have the power to blast Bruno out of there, he lacks the work rate to make him gas and Bruno might actually have a jab good enough to jab with Pulev. But I could definitely see Pulev frustrate Bruno all night and win a boring decision. But if Bruno lands a clean right hand like Hughie did, I could see Bruno stopping him, Bruno hit's much harder than Hughie.

    Agreed about Povetkin, he definitely KO's Bruno. Breaks him down and stops him. Bruno would have some success with his jab like Joshua did but he isn't taking those shots Joshua took.

    Pulev has as much pop as Tim Witherspoon had and is in much better shape even at 37. Bruno wouldn't last the pace like Fury did last night. His tank would be empty way before the 12th.

    Wow.
    Kubrat has beaten everyone except Wladimir who has agreed to fight him. Dilian White ducked him and a lot of other guys. Respect to Fury that he got the balls to enter the ring and take the loss like a man

    Juiced Povetkin or clean Povetkin? Two different guys, ask Eddie Chambers and Jason Estrada.

    It's Joshuas fault once again right ? Lol

    Pulev declined Joshua at least 2 times , maybe 3 which is how Takam got a title shot...lol..that according to some is also Joshuas doing and a Hearn plan bc he was on stand by........lol

    This is a good point, really.

    It seems with decades of retrospect though, perhaps the same could be said for every division? I guess not as extreme as HW now that I'm thinking about it.

    I always felt Pulev was overrated, before challenging Wladimir. Can't believe he still lurks with some success and, on paper, does warrant to be on the short list of title challengers I suppose. (which is more to the point of this thread; it is accurate)

    Robbed vs Foreman and Botha. Won both fights. Moorer won fair and square though.
    Shulz was an underrated fighter who should've been lineal HW champion of the world.

    Whats hard to believe moron?
    He beat Dimitrenko,Tompson,Chisora and Ustinov. Now he dominated Fury? Dilioyan White ducked him along with that american forgot his name?

    Adamek also pulled out of the fight few years ago when he was relevant? How exactly Kubrat is overrated?

    He pulled out of Joshua fight because he had torn muscle in the chest and took him 6 months to recover.
