    Yeah. Joshua has the power and he is not scared to fight either.
    I guess after the fight he could send Fury some **** pics to entice him to defend those titles against him.

    More devastating? You can't get more devastating than what Wlad did to Pulev. Won every round, and knocked him down multiple times which climaxed with a brutal KO. Anyways, the result all depends on how Pulev approaches this one. If he stands in front of Joshua like he did Wlad... Well the result is going to be similar, but if he starts on the outside jabbing and moving it could be an interesting one. Lean towards Joshua by KO.... But Pulev is his biggest test to date by a considerable margin.

    I think the Pulev of now is a lesser fighter than the one that people were looking forward to facing Klitschko. He is no push over, and easily Joshua's toughest opponent BUT he has been looking less impressive to me over his last 2/3 fights.

    I think if he is careful he'll give Joshua some new challenges before he gets KTFO.

    AJ isn't Ko'ing anyone faster than a Wlad who gets to freely tee off on his opponent.

    I like AJ a lot but I'm not sold that he has more power than Wlad.

    If Pulev comes in motivated and properly ready he may well beat AJ. This is a pretty tough fight.

    I agree, I picked Stiverne to beat Wilder but not because I think he is any good at all.

    I mean, even if AJ does stop Pulev quicker than Wlad that's more to do with the difference between how they fight as opposed to him having Wlad's power.

    Quicker maybe, but wasn't the Pulev KO KOTY? That's hard to top.
    Certainly because Pulev is clearly better than anyone Joshua has faced thus far.

    Wouldn't be surprised in the least.
    I think it's a 70-30 kinda fight, because it's a significant step up for Joshua here.

    And stopping Pulev quicker and more decisive that Wlad, that'll be difficult. Didn't Wlad drop Pulev 2-3 times and knock him out with a brutal, highlight-reel level punch?

    Hard to say. Joshua doesn't have the hard left hook that Wlad had so much success with but then Joshua has an uppercut and is more willing to trade in close rather than instinctively clinch.

    Also depends on how AJ will deal with Pulev's clinching which could see Pulev survive a bit longer. We know Pulev has little to no movement and only has a jab to try and keep AJ off him, if he can't keep him at range he'll clinch like he did against Chisora and make it ugly.

    This is of course assuming AJ has his way with Pulev. We haven't seen AJ fight anyone as good as Pulev or deal with a fighter with such a good jab. But I see Pulev being too static to give AJ any real problems.

    I think Pulev's jab will give AJ a few issues early on before he starts to impose himself and his superior power and strength becomes apparent. But I suspect Pulev will take him further than he lasted with Wlad.
