Lets make a case for Pulev

Pulev establishes his jab early and catches Joshua by surprise. Joshua can't seem to get into the fight and has real problems getting past that jab. Pulev lands a big overhand right that catches Joshua and makes him do a funny dance. Joshua just can't seem to recover from the shot and Pulev's jab begins to establish itself more and more. Pulev begins to open up in the middle rounds and Joshua begins to unravel. Fight is waved off after Joshua can't seem to avoid any of Pulev's shots and the towel is thrown in.

That's about the only way I can see Pulev winning. If he's going to do it (which is very unlikely) it's going to come off of that jab.

 

Pulev has a good jab

heavyweights getting wobbled from a jab is quite common, if pulev is lucky enough for it to happen I think he’s good enough to finish AJ off

Doubt it happens though. AJ will forever fight cautiously since his loss to Ruiz.

This fight would’ve been a lot more interesting if it was held in Germany or Bulgaria as AJ would need to get the stoppage most likely

 

The blueprint is out there

WAR Pulev !!!!

 

hard to argue that one. I always felt his right hand was very bad too. But his jab is currently the best in boxing. I say that cause Klitschko didnt want none of a jab contest and changed his strategy and bombed him away with power left hooks. Joshua spoke to wladimir about that fight, joshua knows pulevs weakness in and out

 

Pulev isn’t winning this fight, too old, not enough power, and other than a jab he doesn’t have anything to bother Joshua

 

No i pretty much doubt aj will be cautious. Pulevs can easily dictate the fight pace and outpoint joshua with that stinging jab. Joshua will do what wlad did to win and thats be agressive and go on the attack to throw pulev off. Pulev is stubborn but cant adjust when things dont go his way

 

Pulev might have the key to him like Maskaev had with Rahman.

 

yes age caught up to him. He had a good run in 2012 /13 where he beat big guys into submission. dimitrenko, ustinov, thompson...
Cant see that pulev anymore though now.

 

doubt it but 2020 is not over yet so lets wait and see

 

joshua hurts pulev, misjudges how hurt he is and gets clipped trying to finish the fight- ruiz 1

joshua hurts pulev, goes for the kill and pulev survives and stops a tired joshua- klitschko fight

joshua gets caught when breaking from a clinch kind of like what happened when he was caught by parker and pulev clinched a lot vs chisora

cut or freak injury

i of course favor joshua massively but going on things that have happened these are the scenarios i could foresee hypothetically
