    Leapai beat #1 Boytsov, earned the #1 WBO ranking, actually by fighting for it. Wilder has not fought anyone ranked at all...............It was Pulev who decided not to fight Vlad yet as he needed another fight or two..............Vlad will fight for the WBC title and is interested in fighting Wilder ASAP. Wilder refused to fight Thompson, yet Vlad knocked Thompson out two times..........

    A short reach? Yeah right. I suppose all you know about Pulev is from that forum and some pics you saw. No power or authority? If that was true it would have been a long queue on his door. Wlad and Fury would be the first there to knock. In fact there is no one that really wants a piece of him. Too risky. They all respect his AUTHORITAH!!!

    Are those 8 guys willing to box Wlad for a mediocre purse with 3 options for a voluntary shot?

    Wlad does two things:

    1. boxes his mandatories to keep his belts
    2. goes for the voluntaries with the best money vs. risk factor

    It makes total sense.

    What still does not make sense is that while he was quick to make an offer to Leapai, Wlad still has not, after six months, made an offer to Pulev for the title fight...

    Deontay Wilder has fought better opponents than Alex Leapai. Boystov might have been the WBO 1 at the time but independently he was ranked 48. Leapai's last 4 opponents have been : Not in the top 100, not in he top 100, 95 and 48. Wilders have been 23, 76, 67 and 24. You might think that's not so good but check out all the other's at the independent world boxing rankings. Only 41% of the WBO's top 10 are in the Independent world boxing rankings top 15, and while we are on the same subject, The WBC have 45%, WBA have 37% and IBF have 39%.

    Pulev's reach is long, dude. Don't write random things without informing first.

    Also, he outjabbed peoples with longer reach than him.

    And if he wasn't authoritative, you and derick wouldn't be so scaried by him.

    Boystov was ranked in the top 10 by RING at the time he fought Leapi. Wilder has yet to fight a top 10 RING contender.

    Leapi also has been tested against decent gate keepers in Walker and the Ding A Ling Man, with a loss to fringe contender Kingpin. Scott is the only guy Wilder fought on that level. They both share wins over Owen Beck.

    All this bitching and whining won't mean anything anyway when Wlad/Pulev happens sooner than later. I'm not sure why people are continuing to indulge in the fantasy that after years of meeting his mandatories, Wlad is going to trash his IBF belt and officially duck Pulev. I guess enjoy that wet dream while it lasts, it isn't going to happen.

    I don't know about that. I'm not sure what his official listing is or if it can even be trusted but his reach does look below average for a nearly 6'5" guy. Wlad would likely enjoy a comfortable advantage against Pulev.

    Wlad and Thompson's arms were about equal length and Wlad is much much quicker.

    Thats the K2 business model. Why do they do it? So Wlad can fight bottom feeders:patsch

    Not to his legacy it doesn't. That went down the tube a long time ago.

    Wlad is ducking Pulev. Even Kubrat himself has said it.

    Funny how he hasn't been stripped by the IBF but the Ktards expect people to believe the WBO would strip him for not fighting a no namer who became mando over night.:patsch:nut

    Make no mistake about it. Wlad chose to fight Leapai.

    If Wlad dropped the WBO belt that would make Leapai face the winner of Chisora/Fury who would go on to fight Wlad.. Hey at least Leapai isn't going to make us sit through 12 rounds

    If Wlad/Pulev gets made within the year will you admit you have wasted the last year bitching and whining for no good reason and agree to never post again?

    Wlad couldn't beat TOS ten years ago. There's no way he's beating Pulev now.

    The fight won't happen.

    Mick Hennessey said Fury doesn't exist to K2. Pulev doesn't either.
