If I was Eddie Hearn, my next move to Joshua would be Pulev

    Thing is though he might not get 25%. When he fought Wlad, Wlad petitioned the IBF to reduce his percentage to 20% because he brought no fans to the table and they agreed. No reason why Hearn won't miss this trick and repeat it. Should still be a good payday for Pulev though, question is does he take it?

    Yep... isn't Sky PPV usually around £14.95? The fight on Saturday was £19.95. If a huge showdown with Fury ever happens, fully expect it to be something like £24.95.

    The Pulev of the Chisora fight would give him problems, you tag Joshua and he stiffens right up. That is one aspect of Joshua that is identical to Bruno.

    Pulev isn't a puncher though, if Wlad couldn't put him away with a flush right hand and countless other shots then Pulev ain't doing **** to AJ.

    Pulev is wide open to hooks and as we saw this weekend Joshua's got a hard left hook and a big right uppercut, I expect him to wreck Pulev. If Pulev had any kind of movement he might last for more than a few rounds but I fully expect Joshua to walk right through Pulev.

    In all honesty it's a horrible style match up for Pulev, he can't keep him off him and his normal clinching tactics won't work, Joshua is too strong, we saw Wlad try to clinch in the 5th a few times after that first left hook and Joshua just shrugged him off, Pulev will get horribly manhandled if he tries to clinch.

    Is Pulev still with Sauerland?
    Sauerland and Hearn do shows together, so I'm not surprised if this happens.
    Would be a crappy match-up and Joshua would demolish Pulev.

    Pulev isn't a pushover like a Charles Martin or Molina, let's just say that is true. If you went at him with no respect you're taking a risk with a chin like Joshua's.
