IBF order Whyte vs Pulev

Who would you pick in that fight? I'd have Pulev winning and Takam as a live underdog. Probably go down like Takam Chisora, but Pulev will be two years older and Takam is probably better than 2016 Chisora.

 

sauerland are still powerfull and will bid a decent ammount and i cannot see any americans or brits wanting to go to germany to fight pulev

as brighton bomber said that might leave takam who would take the fight.

albeit if takam were to win and force a mandatory v joshua how would hearn sell it

i have not looked at ibf rankings

is there any europeans like the big pole who beat spilzka ranked ?
cant remember his name but he comes to fight and would be up for a pulev fight i would imagine and you have the polish /german angle to sell the fight.

not sure how germany sells ukrainians/bulgarians/cubans heavies fighting as home favourites but it has done for the last 30 years i have watched german boxing.

 

I’m guessing Wilder will be fighting Breazeale then. I got Dillian beating Pulev, Pulev heart got taken by Wlad years ago.

 

ibf rankings are horrible lol.. just make pulev vs #10 kabayel.. takam already had his shot.. whyte gonna turn it down probs.

 

i still think wilder v joshua is up next

most of my mates are casual boxing fans though and outside of joshua / could not name any heavyweights joshua has not fought

that might mean hearn could pass on wilder and 80 to 90% would not care

 

Tough fight to call. Pick em fight for me, maybe favour Pulev slightly.

Takam is more versatile than Chisora, he won't just barrel forward and get clinched to death like Chisora did. But I don't think Takam will be busy enough to get a decision and he isn't a big enough puncher to easily get the stoppage. Close decision for Pulev most likely.

 

I'd lean to Pulev too.

His excellent jab will do just enough to win a close decision.

 

Can the IBF please pull their heads in & leave the heavyweight division alone for a bit?

Joshua made the mandatory a few months back after Pulev lived up to his name & pulled out late.

The division is heating up & we don't need the IBF throwing a wet blanket over it called Pulev.

Let's see Joshua & Wilder tune up with who they want & then let's get it on. Pulev had his chance to get in on the action months ago & hasn't done anything since.

Most of the top heavies seem to be able to make decent fights without any help from the sanctioning bodies.

 

Completely forgot about Haye. Incredible drawing power for this stage of his career.

 

I wish there could be a situation where Breazeale and Pulev cannot possibly face Wilder. No more slow, high guard bums Deonkey, NO MORE. Whyte, Parker or Takam please Wilder, just do something different for once and stop facing slow fat people every fight.
