    I feel the fight is a bit rushed because both sides are a bit overconfident and see weaknesses in their opponent.

    Also, for Wlad this is a high reward low risk fight legacy-wise, if he loses nobody will hold it against him (unless Joshua somehow completely schools him and then goes on to become mediocre) but if he wins it's a massive boost for his already great legacy, especially if Joshua goes on to achieve great things. A bit like Floyd's victory over Canelo which looks better and better with age.

    Even if Pulev was deducted two points,(which would be pushing it) Chisora still would've lost clearly.

    Chisora was over 19 stone for the Pulev fight, yet he weighed 17 stone 11 lbs for the Whyte fight.

    Now tell me again how Chisora was more in shape for the Pulev fight?

    Pulev is Jennings level at best. Pulev isn't a threat to Joshua or Wilder. He would lose to even Parker, who is almost as overrated as Pulev himself.

    It's not about deducting points, Chisora, an inside fighter, wasn't allowed to do any work whatsoever on the inside. Without the ref there to pull them apart whenever he got close it would have been a very different fight.

    Chisora was 241lbs or 17stone 3lbs for Pulev not 19 stone, he's never been that high even when he was a fat mess for the first Fury fight.

    He lost most of the rounds trying to exchange jabs and land overhand shots, when he couldn't get inside he spent too much time over the ropes trying to find an opening for a counter. Clinches happen all the time, just like It happened many times in the Fury rematch. All the ref could do was to deduct points, and It wouldn't have made any difference like I said.

    It'd tell us how Joshua does against a good jabber.

    Truth is Pulev put a clinic on Chicora. So much so a lot were saying he was totally shot. He got messed up..

    Maybe he needed this before Klitschko?

    Pulev would have been a good opponent to prepare him for Wlad.

    Chisora was actually 7lbs lighter for the Pulev fight than he was for the Whyte fight.

    He was 18 stone and 10lbs for his fight with that scrub which came between the Pulev and Whyte fight, which is the weight you're thinking of.

    Pulev would have to use a lot of movement and not stand in front of Joshua like he did Wlad... Otherwise the end result would be very similar.

    This is what I feel aswell Pulev is way better than people give him credit for. He has great feel for distance he's quick accurate and tough as nails even Wlad said after the fight that he never hit someone as hard as Pulev and he keep coming back...
