Agreed. I wouldn't bet on Pulev now but any bona fide contender's in with a considerable shot of dethroning Wilder.
Simultaneously the worlds of all of Pulev's fans would expand and we'd have a completely new universe minus your own!
Me too. Easy work with the jab for Pulev. Jab, grab and push him around. Watched Pulev and Whyte vs Chisora yesterday. Big difference. Pulev is very good indeed.
Pulev would be, by far, the best fighter on Wilder's resume, so far Wilder has fought nobody who can fight at all, nothing but winos from they alley. Haymon is protecting him, kept him away from Povetkin, the WBC going along with Haymon even though VADA cleared Povetkin...........................Wilder will never have to fight anyone who can fight back, he can still be the champion at age 90!
It seems its the organisations that should be getting the flack more than the Boxers. Its the WBC that has allowed Wilder to face all these free defences of his title, team Wilder have looked to take the easiest of defences but the WBC have the power and the responsibility to be stricter. Same with anybody who has a problem with Pulev being Joshua,s mando. AJ didnt put him as number 1 the IBF did, personally i dont mind it at all and cant complain at AJ that he is doing his duty as a title holder.
Why do you say that? He is 25-1, has beaten 27-0 Ustinov who could be argued as greater than any of Wilders wins, beat Chisora who took Scotts 0, beat Dimitrenko, Thompson and faced Wlad which was within 26 fights as well as some other known names like Sprott, Peters, Johnson. Wilder hadnt faced names like that in 26 fights
I would say Pulev would have a decent chance. Wilder has been outboxed a bit at times and Pulev can box and move
Pulev would prob go 9-10 up on the cards before Wilder pulled out another haymaker from his windmill of doom laying the always overrated Pulev out cold.
Pulev can be difficult for a lot of dudes. He has only a so so chin however, thus he is never going to be champ imo.
Pulev isn't great but he's still better than anyone Wilder has fought, which says a lot about Wilder's resume.
I think his chin is just so so, however, I'm splitting hairs as I'm comparing him to only the other top dudes such as AJ , Ortiz and Sasha. So yeah from another angle I agree his chin is solid.
Pulev stood in front of Wlad like an idiot... Probably thought his only chance of winning was to scrap and gamble for a KO. Anyways.... Pulev when he boxes and moves would be a handful for Wilder (see Ustinov and Dimitrenko fights) Pulev jabbed their heads off, Duhaupas caused Wilder a lot of problems with his jab while pretty much just in a defensive shell. There's not a whole lot of margin for error here for Pulev considering he's completely outgunned here, but at his best he'd be a handful for Wilder. Now? I agree with an earlier post. Pulev blows a lead and gets stopped-mid late.
