I admit I haven't seen as much of either fighter as I would like, so I am curious to know what you all think of a showdown between these two prospects if they were to fight at this stage in their careers. Who takes it and why?
You gotta go with Pulev right now. Boytsov was a pretty hot ticket a year or two ago, but it seems like a nightmarish problem with his promoters along with injury issues have pretty much derailed his career. He's not looked good in his last coupla of fights, but it's hard to say if that's a temporary dip due to his out of ring issues. He is still quite young though, and if he could get a decent team he may be able to pull it back together. -though his best bet might be at cruiser.
I don't think Boytsov's even interested in boxing anymore. Right now, Pulev by decision.. if they're both highly motivated etc? Boytsov by KO.
Both Euro hype jobs that has done nothing but fight bums. A lot of people is claiming Pulev is so damn good. If that is the case why at his age is he still a contender. He is 33 for christ sakes. Pulev is just trying to get a pay day with WLad and nothing more. When he fights Wlad he will stand there and get his ass kicked and not hit WLad at all.
I like Pulev, but Boytsov is too strong. He is the GGG of Heavyweight, unfortunately his managment sucks, they won't let him fight .. there are a lot of inner problems, lawsuit etc. .. he was even threatened because he refused to fight for Universum and even train for them. Boytsov could be already Champ, he has the potential to knock out Wlad and Vitali. Boytsov would K.O Pulev in round 7.
Who has Boytsov beat to prove these blind claims you just made. All I see is a bunch of excuses by you for why Boytsov has fought nothing but local tomato cans. I agree Boytsov may beat overrated Pulev but he would be exposed by the Klitschkos or even fighter on the level of Chisora. Wilder can beat Pulev and Boytsov on the same night.
The truth comes out in your post. You just can't hide your racist views. Pulev is 33 BTW with only 9 ko's. Not very impressive.
Please don't mention this talentfree bum called Wilder .. who has he beat?? Boytsov beated Guinn Gavern Bidenko Hawkins Pala Gavern and Guinn would destroy Wilder, same Bidenko if he is in the shape from the Charr fight.
Boytsov is the bigger tuna. Pulev by tko in the 11th round. Both guys do not impress. Too inactive to be any good. ...
Just watched some fights of each. Gotta go with Pulev on this one. At least based upon how Boytsov has looked in his last couple fights.
