Kubrat Pulev will school and batter Dereck Chisora

I don't see Wilder fighting outside PBC for his next couple of fights and ironically Chisora hasn't shown any interest in fighting Joyce or Dubois (interestingly, Chisora has not fought a prolific KO puncher since Haye in 2012). I'm not going to say that Pulev hasn't been strategic with his career but it takes two to tango and some contenders thought that a 37 year old, 18 months inactive Pulev in Bulgaria was too dangerous. Only champion calibre fighters have beaten Pulev so he's not a guy many contenders wanted to fight in his prime, especially on the road. I don't think he believes he's getting another title shot at 41 and fighting a young lion would just result in Pulev getting beaten up and stopped or violently KO'd. Like many vets, he doesn't want his name being added to the record of some prospect/contender who he believes he would have beaten in his prime.

 

It wouldn't be a huge shock, "it's heavyweight boxing" and so on. But he should beat Chisora at least 7 out of 10 times in my opinion.
