Hmm he took some hard shots from Ustinov... Would not say thats average. Did you saw him hurt badly... I cant remember seeing Pulev hurt bad. But Haye would clearly be the most powerful boxer he faced till now.
I would have said it was good but Walker had him hurt, I think Ustinov's power is overated hes a mountain of a man who stops people with an accumulation of punches but he isn't a massive puncher. If Pulev can take Haye's shots, i could see him winning by UD, if not Haye stops him mid-late rounds IMO.
Pulev/Sauerland won't take this fight unless Haye is offering alot of money. If Haye's biggest priority was a K2 fight, then this fight would make sense. Pulev is the most worthy contender atm. Sounds out of character for Haye.
The best case scenario is haye faces pulev and adamek but will that get him a mando with the wbc? I'd expect charr then arreola, that puts him wbc number 1
Pulev would be pretty high-risk low reward for Haye, so if he did fight him Id be impressed and it'd be a signal of intent from Haye. Itll more likely be Charr
