    Strange finishes against Ustinov and Dimitrenko. Looks a good fighter, Going to be very tough fight for Tyson.

    I don't think Pulev is a viable option for Fury- why doesn't he go down the WBC route? Fury can afford to bide his time.

    this would be a great fight if it comes off and i don't see a downside for the losser. lossing to a fellow boxer on the way up shouldn't be looked down upon. half the problem with boxing is everyone trying to keep their 0 instead of testing themsleves in real fights.

    would be a hard fight for Tyson to win but if his trannier can get him to use his boxing instead of just going in for a tear up i could see him winning the fight.

    Pulev wears you down though and takes his time. He's not an overly aggresive fighter. Possibly that's his main weakeness. He's looked better the more he's stepped up all the same. It was the accumulation of punishment that saw Dimitrenko and Ustinov basically quit later in the fight rather than a proper stoppage.

    Exactly. If the loser puts up a good fight he'll be straight away back in going for the European title with the winner vacting that to go for Wlad's title, it's win win really. This fight on it's own could possibly beat Fury's viewing record for C5 against Chisora due to the European champion angle not to mention this fight will be going out on prime time in Germany and Bulgaria as well. It's big money for a European/mandatory place fight.

    Yeah it looked that way, They just gave in out of nowhere. Looked very tired as well.

    Pulev also seems quite fast and accurate with a straight shot.... anyone else thinking of Fury's lazy Jab?

    I like Pulev. He is very calm in the ring, really takes his time in breaking the opponent down. I like big Tys but I think he will get stopped in this one.

    If Cleverly is on the card it could get messy for the TV over here- if somehow Hennessy were to get the fight in Five it would get a big audience.

    I like Pulev out of the ring, he seems like he's humble but with a slight edge to him- mainly thanks to his lovely lady.

    If the sloppy Fury turns up it he could easily get KTFO, no doubt in my mind.

    A focused Fury could well dominate, but how often have we seen that Fury?

    It would be interesting to see.

    After seeing what Stiverne did to Arreola I'd avoid him like the plague If I was Fury I was very surprised and impressed by Stiverne performance.

    Pulev is probably the best route for a World Title shot but If It's all about Money go for the pay day with Haye If I was Fury.

    When it comes to this stage theres no easy fights so he has to step up. Fury camp has ben saying they will go down the IBF route for a long time, fair play to them its probably the toughest but best option for him.

    Theres no point fighting Haye at the minute, Stiverne is already mandatory for Vitali. Realistically this is by far the option and I wish him well.

    PS. Pulevs girlfriend looks smoking hot!!
