So will Wladimir Klitschko be fighting Bermane Stiverne or Kubrat Pulev?

Providing he stays away from Wilder Wlad will be ok

 

It will go the same way as the Williamson fight, where Wlad was on his way out after only 5 rounds , but lucked out with a default headbutt clash.
Only here , Pulev has a better jab than TOS and Wlad is 10 years older and slower.

ydksab Wlad Klitschko.

 

I really hope he fights Pulev in September.
The Stiverne will not happen on such short notice, because Don King is willing to hold the title for a while.
Also as stated before, Pulev is a household name in Germany. He has never in the main event, but a fight between Wlad & Pulev will sell out a German stadium in no-time.

I also think Pulev deserves the shot, because he won multiple eliminator.

 

You are very wrong if you think that Pulev is unknown in Germany. He doesn't headline the events but he is known fairly well and would surely make a big fight. On the other side, even the American boxing public barely knows Stiverne, let alone Germans who never heard of the guy. Yes, it would be for the last remaining belt and that's the only thing making this fight significant, otherwise there would be absolutely zero demand, perhaps even less than for Leapai. I believe that it could sell as well as the Pulev fight assuming Klitschko hypes it well enough as some kind of an "unification", but it's really Pulev that the fans want, not Stiverne. But after all, it's Klitschko that draws the attention, so I guess the bottom line is that it doesn't matter who he fights as far as the general public is concerned, the tickets will always sell well. What I'm saying is just that Pulev isn't an unknown guy in Germany like Stiverne is, but yes, the belt could eventually make it up.

 

I heard Vitali is interested in coming back and fighting Stiverne. Knowing Vitali, he's probably really tired of Stiverne's taunt and he will take his anger out in the ring with a beatdown.

 

I would prefer Stiverne so that the public can have a unified champion. Outside of that, and I don't see it happening, I feel Wlad will fight his mandatory Pulev who is the second best Heavyweight in the world. Both are good match ups and either fight Wlad takes there should be little to complain about, both are worthy. I can understand disappointment if you are a big fan of either Pulev or Stiverne and your guy doesn't get the fight but these are the two best heavyweights outside of Wlad now and either is a good fight.

 

Pulev is a clever boxer....he will not get a beatdown
it,s a close fight .
:smoke

 

Both chumps are ducking Deontay Wilder!

 

wlad is going to fight both guys on the same night at the same time and still win

 

:cannabis

 

You're absolutely clueless. Pulev is an unknown mandatory challenger with no title. Stiverne just made worldwide headlines winngin the WBC belt.

A fight between Wlad and Stirverne for the first unified HW titles since 1998 would be MASSIVE. No comparison to Wlad - Pulev.

 

I agree. :good

Pulev popular or not popular in Germany is irrelevant..... what is relevant for the boxing fans is wlad a chance to gain (UNIFY) the last belt (WBC) to become FULLY UNIFIED CHAMP or a another Mandatory defense.... simple as that

 

ya what happens when wlad starts getting tagged with kubrats sharp jab= then what

 

thisdeal:deal

 

Ok then, perhaps you're right. I wouldn't say that Pulev is unknown though, but it looks like he Stiverne fight would be significantly bigger.
