    If Wilder was facing Pulev, would it be the best name on Wilder's resume?

    Unequivocally.

    He would box Stiverne's ears off in a very one sided UD.

    I say yes definitely. Stiverne may have won a title which Pulev hasn't but you have to remember who Stiverne beat for that title. Arreola was nothing ever than a gate keeper. Pulev's wins over the likes of Chisora, Ustinov and a Thompson who he beat between Thompson beating Price and Solis give him a deeper resume than Stiverne.

    Pulev isn't anything special though, but you don't need to be special to be the best fighter Wilder has fought because who he has fought as a whole has been abysmal up to this point.

    Easily. Pulevs resume is about equal to Wilders, let alone Wilders best victim.

    I was asking this as there seems to be some fans that are not interested in Joshuas defence against Pulev but I didnt think it was a bad defence at all and I wouldnt be surprised if Pulev has learnt a bit from the Wlad loss and may be a bit more cautious and keep out of the way. Pulev is a good mover.

    Wilder has had nearly twice the fights Joshua has had and I dont really think Joshua needs Wilder as much as Wilder needs Joshua.
    In the UK alone Joshua possibly has some options and if H Fury beats Parker there could be a big unification between 2 undefeated HW champs in Britain.

    The UK is where the HW scene is

    Wilder would find ways to get rid of Pulev if he was his mandatory. 100% sure.

    On paper it isn't a bad fight, I mean not too long ago Joshua/Pulev would of been seen as a nice test for Joshua but after the Wlad win people's expectations are far greater.

    As a match up it's seen as one sided and rightfully so, Pulev has nothing to hurt Joshua with. But hey it's a mandatory match up.

    No. Pulev is Malik Scott, Arreola level. How Pulev continues to stay ranked in the top 5 I'll never understand. I thought he was overrated before he fought Wlad and since then he fought Sam Peter of all people.

    I think Wilder, Joshua, Parker, Ortiz, and Browne all stop Pulev.

    Yes, it would be his best win by far, if he did win.

    Well it's the type of opponent we'd love to see Wilder in with,I'm not hyping Pulev up,quite the contrary it's these opponents who could be seen as 60/40 in favour of Wilder,not the 90/10,80/20 fights Wilders usually in.

    While I think Pulev is over rated by some he's better than Scott and Arreola. I mean he beat Chisora who beat Scott. He might not be a lot better but he's better.

    But yeah I'd favour those guys over Pulev, even Browne.

    Am I the only one who would actually fancy Pulev to beat Wilder?

    If Pulev somehow beat AJ I think my world would implode and I'd have to admit that I DKSAB.

    This version of Pulev is not as good as a few years ago. That said, he'd be in with a good shot of tooling Wilder.
