    you dont think fury can land on the glass that is wlads chin. Pulev did and he is slower and less of a puncher than the furious one. Tbh a succession of 2 to 3 jabs would send wlad jiggling to the canvas. :deal

    for the last decade, and the 1st time since television was introduced, the heavyweight scene hasn't been dominated by americans, hence the lack of coverage. not rocket surgery.

    Im not a hater of wlad, But i think fury has the tools and physique to cause him plenty of problems. Of course 1 punch can end it all, fury aint hard to hit.

    Oh dear, another clueless guy asking Heavyweights to fight "better opposition". Is there any better opposition in that division?

    If you think Wlad chin is from glass, you got to be mad. His chin is not iron, but you got to be blind to say his chin is from glass.
    Also if Pulev fight Fury, he will beat the living s*** out of him. Oh i forget Fury duck that fight, and that fight was a eliminator for a shot at IBF title ....
    And im pretty sure that Pulev is faster then Fury in every single combo. Im pretty sure Pulev have better and stronger jab then Fury.

    pulev faster than fury, now ive heard it all. Pulev puts his punches, literally puts his jab on his opponent with 250lbs behind it, its strong but it aint quick and you can see it a mile out as he does that terrible continous circular motion, and thinks hes tricking people. :patsch Pulev dont throw combonations, he fights like an amateur. jab jab righthand. He dont throw hooks, uppercuts and although he is a sturdy fighter, he's a very predictable one. And his right hand isnt good, 250lbs of slow unexplosive muscle.
