There is a chance that Ruiz vacates the IBF belt and Pulev vs Kownacki fight for it. Ruiz has said that he wants Wilder after Joshua rematch and Wilder talking about unification bout with Ruiz. Haymon can make Wilder vs Ruiz straight after instead of Ruiz fighting IBF mandatory. Pulev vs Kownacki, who wins?
It will be amazing if we have a Bulgarian heavyweight champion of the world. As you said, Pulev should go behind the jab, hold and clinch, and get the decision. Pulev needs to go into full Wlad Eastern European robotic mode. They must make this fight in Chicago, it is the city with biggest Bulgarian population outside of Bulgaria and also has the largest Polish population of any city outside of Warsaw. Pulev vs Kownacki for the IBF Heavyweight title in Chicago will be crazy.
IBF already allowed Ruiz to fight Joshua in December. They ordered the winner of Ruiz-AJ to fight Pulev by 31st May 2020.
Kownacki would crush overrated paper skin Pulev. I don't understand why Pulev is still rated so high after he was scared to fight Joshua. Pulev has paper skin that cuts easy and he abuses women. Kownacki would beat the hell out of Pulev just like WLad did. Pulev has a Jab and that is it.
So it seems the scam is going to work afterall. Pulev wide UD. Don't be surprised if this happens, we get Pulev vs Fury next.
Pulev has 28 fights and was cut just once in his last fight agasint Dinu, how is that having a paper skin? Was the reporter also abused when she was lap dancing with members of Team Pulev the night after the kiss? Pulev signed to fight Joshua but got an injury few days before the fight. He told Sauerland that he will fight with it, but Sauerland told Hearn about it and Hearn said no. yes you are right, Pulev has already said that he will fight Fury after his IBF title fight
Only Pulev fight I enjoyed was against Klitschko, he got knocked silly and acted a fool. Boring, overrated
Kownacki via TKO Pulev's age is starting to show in recent fights. He didnt look great against the running gypsy, and he is not that great himself. I think Kownacki wears him down and either gets the referee to jump in or Pulev quits in the corner between rounds
Some people are saying Pulev is overrated, and so it might be (depending on how you rate him). But still, his achievements surpasses the ones of Kownacki. So I dont know how that can be an argument in Kownackis favor.
