Pulev will get killed by Wilder

Oh yeah he's :boxervs

:silly and :tired and :emma and ld and <where's the tub of lard smilie?>

 

The champs and most contenders are from (East) Europe. How is that "worthless". If it is then the US belt must be less than worthless :yep and I don't think US HWs are that bad

DW is hardly much younger then Pulev, and he isn't even an established contender. DWs best wins are vs a washed up, never was Harrison and a washed up Liak. Most fighters never reach top contender status. Let's see your big hope beat a few good HWs before you get too excited :deal

 

Pulev does indeed cut easy but I'm not sold on his chin yet.

 

Wilder isn't the bigger name. He is an American based fighter, and might be better known in America, but Pulev has been fighting on a bigger stage in Europe for a few years now. If anything Pulev is making more money per fight, is better known by more people, and has clearly beat the better opposition. He has positioned himself to fight Wladimir, and that is what he will do.

 

I think you are doing something wrong, mathematically speaking. From your numbers, Pulev's opposition has a winning percentage of 74.7%, while Wilder's has 71.9%. Advantageulev

Furthermore, your numbers do not seem to add up to my own (I keep an extensive Excel file) where I have Pulev's OWP (opponent win percentage) as 76.8% vs. 64.6% for Wilder. Even if you look at their last 10 opponents, it is 83.7% for Pulev, 79.8% for Wilder. Another stat I often look at is how experienced a fighter's average opponent is: 28.2 fights for Pulev's opponents vs. 19.7 fights for Wilder's opponents.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Wilder, he appears to work hard, is generally polite, and seems to want more difficult opponents than his management, but knocking Pulev's standing/resume/skills in favor of Wilder seems irrational.

 

I will double check my numbers vs. Boxrec to be sure (and for Excel errors), as I don't want to be quoting false information, but for now, I have their opponents combined records as:
Pulev -> 390-109-9, 390/508 = 76.8%
Wilder -> 369-185-17, 369/571 = 64.6%

I don't think facing MORE opponents is necessarily better if they are of lesser quality. I personally don't rate KO % that highly. In my personal formula, KO% is only 5% of a fighter's total rating.

I will get back to you and/or edit my post.

The only mistake I could find was actually 1 less loss for Pulev's opponents, so 390-108-9, 390/507 = 76.9%

 

I had my questions about whether you were trolling or not, but this argument you're making about Wilder facing better opposition than Pulev puts it over the top. Well done, it took me awhile to catch on. :good

 

yeah hes trolling. its hard to tell sometimes because some people actually believe what he says

 

A quick glance at Boxrec indicates that Wilder has never been above 4 rounds.

How would he be in round 12 if someone like TT was still in there?
