Pulev UD. Valuev has no real 1 punch KO power, and is really slow. Valuev could slow him down later on, but Pulev is pretty consistent and methodical when hes not hurt.
Fair post. I personally lean towards Valuev because Nikolai had a very long jab himself and might seriously interfere with Pulev's jab centric fight plan. It's a question of whether Pulev's better technique and speed triumphs over Valuev's outrageous reach ... it might.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/boxing/vitali-klitschko-chicken-nikolai-valuev-28117880 Just seen this article, according to Valuev after he retired Vitali tried to lure him out of retirement, but he refused to, due to having to fight Wladimir if he beat Vitali twice. Talk about slave contracts.
If SNV could hit like Klitchko or Joshua id agree with you, but everything he threw you could see a mile out. Pulevs big problem was his lack of KO power in his right hand and leaky defence against the very best, but his ability to land his punches and footwork were decent. Valuev could land on him but i think pulev would land more, being the quicker fighter.
