    Because he's really shown his mental fortitude against top contenders like Vinny Maddalone, right? :lol::roll::rofl:patsch

    I agree. While I don't give Pulev much chance against Wlad, he may well be the best challenger at the moment. If his chin is good (and it seems to be thus far), then I'd pick him to outbox Haye. Unless Povetkin can turn the clock back to 2007, Pulev should beat him too. Price is still a bit of an unknown at this point, Fury and Chisora might be harder fights, but I'd favor Pulev nonetheless. I don't see any American (Arreola/Mitchell/Chambers) as much of a threat to him, either.

    Ideally I'd like to see Pulev face the Solis-Adamek winner, that would produce a very deserving challenger for Wlad.

    It seems like Wlad could face Povetkin early next year so I'd guess that Pulev fights one or maybe even two easier fights until he gets a crack at Wlad next summer-depending on when Wlad has to face Pulev.

    If Pulev is to meet Wlad in the next 8-9 months then I don't see a problem with him staying active against easier opponents. If he has to wait a year or more before getting his shot I hope he fights another top 10-15 fighter.
