IBF Eliminator: Hughie Fury vs Kubrat Pulev, who takes it?

Mate I saw Klitschko vs a prime Pulev a few years back and he put up one of the worst efforts against Klit that I have ever seen.

Then he gets the AJ shot and straight up didn't fancy the job.

This "phenomenal jab" of his only seems to come in to play against domestic level guys.

Hughie us SUPPOSED to be world class. If he is, he handles this guy.

 

I give you that Pulev looked terrible against Klitschko and he was probably afraid of Anthony Joshua.

But Hughie Fury hasn't proven by any means that he is world class, he showed a decent performance against Joseph Parker but so did Ruiz jr. and Takam, even Cojanu went 12 rounds with Parker.

You can't be considered world class by beating Fred Kassi and Sam Sexton.

 

I dont disagree but im saying this is an opportunity to live up to his billing.

 

Yeah and his jab would be successful against the guys that I mentioned along with the majority of todays HWs. Yes he got smashed by Klitschko but I don't see how that's relevant as to whether Pulev is a top 10 operator or not in todays HW division.

Oh, and who has said that Hughie is world class? I rate him highly but I wouldn't consider him to be world class just yet and I haven't seen or heard many others say that he is either.

 

Pulev had a stupid game plan vs Wlad but almost dropped him with a jab very early on..

I think that fight damaged him too much and took all his confidence away. I think Fury got this one.

 

This. I think Hughie should be able to stop Pulev if he ever plans on being a force in the heavyweight division. From time to time he needs to sit down on his punches, since the Parker fight was a title on a silver platter and he let it slip away, since he wasn't able to get Parker's respect.

 

This. Pulev is showing his age. He used to be more explosive.
I honestly believe Fury will school Pulev.

 

Hughie will win by close but clear decision.

Pulev is a good boxer, but he's getting old and slowing down a bit, while Hughie is coming into his prime.

 

Pulev a few years back would have beat Hughie, But Hughie is too fast and fit for him now. Fury is really going to make pulev look clumsy.

 

Yep! We will probably get bored silly watching them jab each other for 12 boring rounds Could really go either way.
