No way, Wilder is afraid to face Chisora and Price not to mention Wlad. Wilder will be fooling around until the Ks retire. As far as Pulev is concerned, he mentioned that he will be having a tune up fight prior to the fight with Wlad.
Never heard him mentioning that. He wants to be Wlad's next oponent. After the fight in Moscow he said to a bulgarian tv that there is a way to beat Klitchko.
You don't understand the styles that make fights.. Thompson's southpaw style was the only thing that gave Pulev problems. Pulev's best weapon was taken away, but after a few rounds he adjusted and dominated Tony. Wlad is in trouble if Pulev adjusts to his pattern and starts to land his jab at will. He's not going to hump his back to take away his stamina so its probably a fight he will try and avoid.
one thing seems clear, altho alot of people dont like k2 and or underate theyre performances, or just the style of them, theres no one favourite to actually beat them, at best pushing them the 12 rounds is an achievement.
Unfortunately I have to agree with this. Pulev, with as little experience as he's got, has beaten top fighters to earn the right at a shot against Wlad. Its unfortunate how truly bad the division is these days. :-(
Mark my words Dino, Pulev drops his hands when he punches and loops his right most of the time. No one is beating Wlad with this style. He'll be competitive for the first few rounds and than Wlad will beat him like Wach.
Excuse but this isn't any different from 10 or 20 years ago. Just with 4 ABC titles they now have to come up with 4 mandatory challengers per year. This has nothing to do with how "bad" the division is. Who did Mavrovich beat when he became mandatory to Lewis in the 90s? Nobody. Did people say how "bad the division" was in the 90s? Yes, they did. Just nobody remembers this now.
Wlad isn't a counter puncher. The wild , brawler style against Wlad is more effective than giving him no angles and fighting in the usual straight ahead style he is comfortable with. We can't go comparing Wach and Pulev. Wach was absolutely terrible. Pulev is too much of a cat for Wlad. Look at Wlads face after Povetkin. Pulev will patiently pepper his face while he's pawing out his jab.
