Pulev vs Wilder (prime for prime).

But Wilder has tested himself against one elite fighter, Pulev against 2.

Pulev won as much as Wilder did. Which is a slew of victories over borderline top ten opposition.

WBC Shmubbleyoubeesea. Who did Wilder beat to earn that belt? Who did he defend it against? When was he ever the heavyweight champion of the world?

If Wilder defended against Pulev I'd be saying it's his best opponent thus far, and we'll played for taking a fight be knew he would lose.

You wouldn't say anything because Wilder would be balls deep in your throat.

 

Pulev outboxes him with his decent jab for a little, then either gets sparked instantly or feels the power and becomes really tentative for a couple rounds before getting his lights put out.

 

Wilders crap
/ THREAD

 

People respect the good fighters Wilder beat. Two old men, Ortiz and Stiverne.

 

To stop Wilder you need to take it to him.
Pulev is not aggressive enough and has no head movement.

 

Pulev has the skills to win but he would be flattened by indecision.

Wilder by Stoppage.

 

Pulev had a good jab but no power. I think Wilder stops him late.

 

Wilder without a doubt, Pulev has never been particularly strong, although he has several great victories against good opponents, but still Wilder would find time to catch him and knock him out...

 

Wilder knocks him out. Early. No question about it.

 

When was exactly Pulev's peak in his prime, as I really can't define?

 

While I do love trashing Wilder, stylistically I think Pulev suits him. Pulev won't press constantly to back Wilder up and when pressured himself goes into clinch mode as he doesn't move well enough to always get out of the way.

Wlad figured out he just had to jump on Pulev, don't box him behind the jab because Pulev has the better jab, take advantage of Pulev's inability to get out of the way quickly enough by just stepping in quickly and unload the left hook or right hand. Don't stand back and have a jab fest, instead stay out of range then pick your moment step in deep and unload.

Wilder may not have the smarts of Wlad but with his height, reach, power and tendency to step in and unload the right hand sporadically has a style that's suits to blast Pulev out of there. No doubt Wilder will be a mile behind having been nearly shut out on the scorecards but at some point he'll catch Pulev because Pulev doesn't have the style to take away Wilder's lethal right hand or the power to knock Wilder out before Wilder knocks him out.

 

Probably the absolute stomping of Chisora. He was 35 but seemed uniquely motivated.

 

Yeah, Pulev seemed to struggle to KO opponents but had other good attributes.
Probably outboxes Wilder for seven rounds, maybe gets hurt somewhere in there with a bomb, but also busts up Wilder's face pretty bad.
Then gets nailed a few times and gets stopped.
Doesn't seem like a good matchup for him, really.
Where as someone like Whyte, Pulev would handle the power and out point and out hustle him.

 

Pulev jabs the **** put of Wilder in the early rounds, rocks him a few times and busts his face. Wilder gets closer and closer to Pulev’s chin in the mid rounds and finds the mark later to score a comeback from behind stoppage.

Pulev is just too stiff.

 

I have heard a lot of female reporters make your final claim.
