    So, Miller is out and Pulev will face Hughie Furie in a eliminator for the IBF belt next. Fight with Hughie Fury will be better than with Miller, I think.

    Hopefully Hughie Fury won't chicken out of fighting in Bulgaria like "Big Baby" Miller.

    I can't see why Pulev can't outbox Hughie, he certainly has both boxing skills and power advantage.

    Hopefully Fury wins, since I'd actually like to see him fight Joshua.

    Well he wouldn't go to London to face Dill Whyte, so you never know?

    Big Cat will give Pulev some of his own medicine.

    Pull out of the fight with one-week to go & little chance of finding a replacement opponent.

    Good fight and another test for Hugie. If he wants to play in the top league of the division he has to dispose of guys like Parker and Pulev rather easily.

    Good fight. Crossroads fight for both. Pulev should be the favorite but Hughie a live underdog. Hope it happens but considering the history of both fighters I'll beltit when I see them in the ring together.

    Yes, good fight, but the rest isn't really fair; Parker is a top 5 hw and Pulev a top 7 or 8 hw. Even the best HW in the division can't be expected to deal with them "rather easily", (AJ barely beat Parker) let alone a "top" HW, of which those two already are. This is Hughies chance to become a top hw though.

    I think Shades of Ali would win this. Pulev doesn't have the style for a good jab and tall /rangy fighter .

    Good fight though if it goes ahead.

    I can see Pulev fighting Takam if he beats Chisora.

    Solid fight if it happens. Pulev looked awful in his last fight, but if Fury freezes again and puts in another poor performance like he did vs Parker then I could see Pulev winning a decision in Bulgaria. But if Fury shows up with some fire in his belly he can beat Pulev using movement and angles.

    Big Cat will leave him standing at the alter grasping air.

    I don’t see this fight coming off, Hughie wouldn’t even travel to New Zealand to fight the champ in Parker, not sure he would travel to Bulguria to fight Pulev. If it does I think I favour fury, Pulev doesn’t have the come forward still necessary to outpoint Hughie and Hughie has the longer limbs.
