    Because Pulev is already mandatory challenger, and Wlad have never avoided a mandatory challenger in his entire career (and this drives you mad, contrarily to other fighters like Maynever's "he can have the belt" :good)

    Wilder will have to face the winner of Arreola/Stiverne II, it's true, but there is no way Wilder can beat either one without having his glass all over the ring, Seth Mitchell style. Unless the fight will be fixed like the Scott one, of course.

    In that case, Wlad will face Wilder, because he had never avoided anyone so far, and that scares and sadden you.

    I still remember your words, Wlad will never enter the ring with Povetkin, i guarantee it" :hi:

    Id respect him more if he didnt allow himself be dictated to by corrupt morons in the ABC sanctioning bodies.

    **** that. I put no stock in numbers. Helenius is a cave man, a strong cave man but a cave man. I trust my eyes, not your stats.

    I'm not saying what Pulev is doing is ok, but it's traditional for a #1 contender to take a soft one if he legitimately believes he is next in line. I mean why blow it on something difficult?

    On the other hand, it means that Pulev's people think this is is, this is as good as it gets. And he's going to get his face smashed upsidedown by Wlad based on styles i'm afraid.

    You are 100% right Wlad will never have the WBC belt. If Wlad really wanted the WBC belt he would drop the worthless WBO belt so the WBC can rank him. Wlad will just keep taking easy fights and ripping off German fans. He may face Pulev next but it will be a wrestling match like when he fought Povetkin. Wlad is a disgrace to boxing.

    Wlad won't smash his face. All Wlad will do is wrestle and dance with him. If Pulev does not get a fair ref his fate will be the same as Povetkins.

    Nah, Wlad ****s people up. It's never pretty, but look at the guys he fought with. They all end up KO'd or wrecked looking. Or most of them.

    A fight with Pulev will not be a wrestling match. I think it's a bad matchup style wise and it will be dull with both men on the outside with low punch outputs but it wont be a wrestling match.

    I can see a similar fight to the Haye and Ibragimov one.

    Well quality of opposition is defo a concern (especially on this occasion) but it's the case that he messes these a lot of these guys up, whatever the details.
