Joshua vs Pulev would be a great fight

    AJ was out jabbed by Whyte. If he is able to work past Pulev's jab and get him out of there with no trouble, it would be a big statement IMO. He should box the winner of Takam-Parker after Breazeale and then take on Pulev (obviously if the Fury or Haye fights don't materialise at that point).

    Fury needs to fight Pulev first. He bottled it when the final eliminator was offered to him.

    Definite 50-50. None of this Charles Martin ****e. Pulev has good movement and knows when to hold. That jab has the potential to leave Joshua pizza faced if he leads with the right as was the norm pre-Martin.

    Sure there are questions over Pulev's whiskers after the Klitschko fight but Pulev has the tools to break him down with the jab.

    Genuine 50-50 though, so no chance Hearn would make this fight.

    Fury destroyed the Klitschko who in turn dismantled Pulev. I know that "A beat B so A beats C too" theories don't mean **** in boxing, but let him deal with Klitschko and then pick his fights. He may have to fight Ortiz anyway which is even harder.

    For what it's worth I think Fury beats Pulev in a similar fashion to the Fury-Klitschko fight. He'll beat him with his movement in a boring fight.

    It could be a good fight, but AJ's fully booked till end of November at least with Brazealle and then winner of Parker v Takam. I am still on the fence with AJ, though I liked his performance against Martin (regardless of what Martin did). He still needs to learn before facing Fury or even Wilder, so a fight against Pulev next spring makes sense.

    Love Pulev but he is far too open.

    Joshua spears him to defeat inside a round or two, and Fury would eventually stop him too.

    Chisora was perfect for him too tee off because was always just outside of Chisora's range, and even then Chisora nearly nailed him a few times and had him wobbling.

    When asked about facing Pulev, Fury said he first has Wlad and basically "bigger fish to fry", in a short interview after last night's fight. If Fury wins the second bout v Wlad, he should probably go for unification - big fame and big money... Pulev could be a good option for him for a voluntary defense though...

    Joshua irons him out inside three rounds.

    Hard to see what Pulev does next- he won't be able to fight for the IBF/WBC titles as those are tied up for the foreseeable future and I doubt he'd fancy the winner of Fury/Wlad.

    I'd suggest a couple of quick fire defenses of his Euro strap against Gerber and Wallisch to keep busy.

    I think we are going to be disappointed with the quality of Heavyweight fights towards the end of the year.

    Did an Eastern European kill your big jawed Grandad or something?

    Pulev is very easy to hit if Del Boy had more power he would of beat him last night but for a heavy he's never been a big puncher. I think josh could blow pulev away to be honest and im not fully convinced about josh yet.

    The fury who beat wlad clowns pulev makes it look easy. Pulev as good as he is literally works everything off that jab if you take that away from him he looks helpless. He wouldn't get his jab no where near fury

    Far too risky for AJ at this moment in time. Fast car will pad his record for as long as possible - I can't se AJ stepping up the quality of opponent until offered ludicrous money for a unification bout
