    I am not sure if Chagaev active any more. Against Ortiz, Pulev has 3 % chances, against Haye and Povetkin 7 %. Ortitz and Haye would brutaly destroy him (see Wlad) and Povetkin would take wide UD. It is my opinion, of course...

    With more than decent jab, but without the decent chin...against the tall and extremely strong rival...I would never bet ....

    Do you think Breazeale or Whyte would last 7 rounds with Wladimir Klitschko?:lol: Come on, the AJ overrating is getting way out of control here.

    Maybe but that's more due to Wlad's over cautious style than anything else.

    Both prob punch harder than Fury so that's enough to keep Wlad wary and at range until they've been totally broken down.

    Would Leapai go 5 with AJ?

    Yeah if Breazeale could, he could.

    Joshua destroys any version of Pulev easy and early.

    Femi fanboys are delusional. There are still big enough question marks on your boy to give Pulev a decent chance.

    I don't think (it could be 3-5 rounds). Considering punching power, Wlad and AJ are close - 10/10 both, it is obviously, no need to disscus about, everything could be seen on You tube whenever you want.

    Pulev has no defense against left hooks, AJ runs right through him. It's the Chisora fight that showed me Pulev is not a threat to the top of the division.

    Maybe Leapai could go 5 rounds but I doubt it. Leapai has been stopped 3 times, once by a guy Joshua blew away in 2 rounds.

    Breazeale may not be any better than Leapai to be fair but he's shown he can take a punch and even in his fight with Mansour when he went down early he showed toughness to get back up and keep going beyond 5 rounds.

    Pulev is good, underated because wlad smacked him around the ring.

    Chisora is B level fighter, without a victory against top 10 HW.
    He is famous because of his losses (Helenius with one arm, Vitaly too). On the other side, he is/was very clever and earned "big money". Let him and his family enjoy in wealth, he deserved it honestly, but everyone unbiased fan knows his position - top 20 HW.

    Would be interesting to see how Joshua deals with the jab.

    If Joshua doesn't blow him out in the first two rounds I believe it could get very interesting

    Pulev lacks the defense and lateral movement to avoid taking a beating and doesn't have the punch to earn Joshua's respect. He's also a lot smaller and weaker than Joshua.
