    Pulev is a great example of how fighters can steadily decline after a KO loss. I liked his footwork against Ustinov and Sasha, he moved his head well too, was elusive and hard to hit, and his jab was good enough to compete with Wlad. There's nothing left of that now.

    Why isnt Pulev trying to fight Hammer who's also scheduled to fight on 03.25 in Hamburg, Germany ?
    I think its definitely a winnable fight for Pulev, and a win over Hammer would put him on the WBO path to fight Joe Parker.

    Well that would be an easy UD for Pulev for sure! I don't know why he is not targeting Hammer... To be honest Pulev's managment is pretty horrible!

    Not very long for an opponent to prepare

    Pulev is already in line to get the Wlad-Joshua winner and the fight, if it happens, isn't that far off. I don't think he'll risk his big money shot against anyone dangerous.

    Someone like Molina would be better than expected. He probably dips back into the shot former contender well and picks someone like Ray Austin or even Franklin Lawrence. Would be a nice surprise to see someone who could actually challenge him but this is simply a stay busy fight so I don't think so.

    If he is planning to fight Wlad/josh winner, I will be expecting his oppoent to be someone who is there size.

    If someone looks through top 20 fighters that are tall, and available at that time you could probably figure out exactly who it is.

    Whether he got that figure or not, Hearn said 3 offers made to Pulev which were all career high and 3 times he turned it down. Thing is Pulev is the mandatory for Joshua's belt, so it looks as though he's not going to exercise his option to fight him at all which means he will lose his ranking.

    Looks like a duck to me.

    Pulev should have looked to get out again a month after that last pitiful fight. 4 months ago now.

    Allen fought last week and is going again this weekend. Old school.

    All joking aside. The Boswell who fought Povetkin would have been decent enough I guess, he still had SOME form(for an old man at least) then.
