Pulev not being a KO artist is a moot point. His patience and jab will wear Wlad down each round till he's staggering and out of breath. Its Wlads job to fight him next and if he doesn't we will all know he chose to take the fight with Leapai.
Wlad out of breath from Pulev jabs? HAH! Out of the two, I can't see how you can think that Pulev has better conditioning than Wlad. If anyone is running out of steam it will be Pulev, he has no chance whatsoever. So is he beating Wlad on points according to you?
Have you seen Fury's disgusting old man physique? Guy is like what 26 or something but looks like 45. He has little to no musculature and as we've been made painfully aware of, doesn't train properly and doesn't eat properly. What I'm saying is yes, Fury might be the same dimensions as wlad Height/Reach etc. but he is still totally outmatched when it comes to physical strength. Wlad will throw Fury around the ring like a little girl if he wants to. Fury won't be able to do **** to stop Wlad from clinching. Edit: If anything I don't see a reason why Wlad would even need to go to into the clinch, he can simply step off at an angle every time Fury tries to jump on him, he can dance around him all night. Also the clinch and "dirty ****" is where Fury has had the majority of success in recent fights, mostly because he punches too slow, without any technique and thus cant put someone out at range. He has to clinch them up and elbow them in the face ala cunningham holding them in position so he can swing for the fences. So, Wlad, who always studies tapes for hours on end of each prospective opponent will likely avoid the clinch in the first place, to nullify whatever strengths fury has. Furthermore Fury is way too slow, has no footwork and has no chin. How does that give him a chance exactly?
You can criticise Deontay all day long but cannot deny he has the power to chin anyone, including Wlad. Wilder for me if anyone has a chance!
Pulev-best chance. Not a great chance. At this stage in their respective careers Pulev might have the movement and quickness advantage. Of course, Wlad is clever and it will be hard for Pulev to land on Wlad and win rounds. Hopefully we'll see soon. Fury-2nd best chance. He's very fast in the ring and has a solid size advantage over Wlad. Wlad won't want to wrestle with Fury. Of course, Fury's fundamentals can be flawed so maybe Wlad knocks him out early. Wilder-3rd best. Not much of a shot, really (unless the fight happens years from now). He has the 2 things necessary to beat Wlad--superior speed and awesome power. Stiverne would have no chance vrs. Wlad but would probably hang in out of sheer toughness before a late round TKO...hoping to land a hail mary. Arreola has a puncher's chance if he can catch Wlad on a bad night. It's not happening--if Arreola faces Wlad he will get battered.
I'd put my money both on Pulev and Fury to beat Wlad. Wlad is not unbeatable. Just cos he did a job on Leapai means nothing. Wilder would of bombed out Leapai in a few rounds and nobody would be saying **** about how good Wilder is. Look what happened to Wlad the last time he fought skillfull guys his size. Knocked senseless by Sanders and was on route to a loss against Williamson and got saved with a cuts stoppage. Williamson is no better than Pulev. Pulev will be in and out on him all night busting up is face with the jab and Wlad will be swating at air like he was against Touch of Sleep
Pulev's jab won't even touch Wlad. He's to slow and has no power. Fury is fat, wild, and has no chin.
Pulev is the only one with a realistic chance, Wilder and Fury have both terrible glass jaws and not enough technical skills to beat Wladimir (although they do have a puncher's chance). Joshua shouldn't be mentioned at all, it's too early for him.
People voted for Fury. Hilarious. A sucker really is born every minute. Slow, plodding, terrible chin, no power, utterly sloppy. Yes, Fury definitely beats Wlad. lmao
I say at the moment Joshua, since as yet no flaws are apparent. whereas most of these other clowns are a laugh a minute.
def not fury he sucks. he cant take a punch and is slow. i say mike perez or wilder. however the verdict is still out on those 2, thier resumes are very weak and thier chins havnt really been tested.
Dino - I think you posted in the wrong thread my friend. The "Fights that people remember incorrectly" thread is in a different place on the forum.
