He survived way harder punchers like Klitschko and Whyte. Ruiz never hurt him from a shot to the chin he clipped him behind the ear which affected his equilibrium. To say AJ who has taken massive licks and endured punishment from ATG Dr Steel Hammer would be done after one shot from Pulev who has never been known as a puncher is being incredibly ambitious.
Sure, I agree, Klitschko punches harder than Pulev, not even debatable. I'm not saying AJ would be done after one shot, but he could end up in trouble if Pulev smacks him in the mouth, Ruiz wasn't regarded as a huge puncher and he dropped AJ four times. AJ ran away from Parker, he wouldn't get involved, he obviously didn't trust him chin against Parker. He was dropped by a Klitschko that hadn't fought for a long long time, a Klitschko that didn't follow up the knockdown, Klitschko couldn't pull the trigger, AJ was very lucky not to be stopped by an old man Fury had previously embarrassed. AJ was dropped four times by Ruiz and stopped and then ran for large parts of the rematch. AJ was rocked by a very green and a very poor version of Whyte (who was injured) and took a few rounds to recover. Even Povetkin gave AJ an scare early. Out of the three, AJ, Fury and Wilder, maybe even Whyte, I believe AJ has the worse chin/temple,
Fight will be good test to AJ. Pulev is a tricky and very skillful fighter so it will be interesting how AJ will pass the test. I think it will be mid round KO for AJ but there will be hard moments when he tries to figure Pulev out.
Stewards version of Klitchko was never great at pulling the trigger. He constantly let guys he had beaten hang around, this fight it just catch up to him cause he wasnt fighting his normal list of contenders
The bodybuilders punch resistance is completely gone. Be ready to see Pulev lay him out with a trademark jab. lol
Naah no way plus you can check it by going to archive of 2011 for example. No likes at any of the post unless someone goes there to like them now
No. AJ has already proven he’s got a better chin than Wilder. Wilder was put on ice skates by bloody Eric Molina. Was out on his feet from a lazy right hook from a fatigued Ortiz who didn’t get any leverage or hip torque through the hook either. Wilder never would hash taken the right hand AJ took from Wlad if he couldn’t take those shots well. Also Wilder was out on his feet in only round 3 against Fury. No way in hell does Wilder have a better chin than AJ. You’re just confused because Wilder has avoided puncher his whole career. Do your research.
You can go back and forth forever Fact is AJ and team didnt trust his chin emphatically Nothing wrong with that, i mean if your chin is susceptible to blows work around it
I am not sure about this, but when people call him feather fisted, it is worth mentioning that he has an oddly heavy and punishing jab that rocked Wlad and stopped a couple of good guys. Pulev is an enigma.
