If Thompson beats Pulev?

If he wins then he takes Pulev spot as #4, Haye at #3.

I think he would destroy Fury, Chisora and Arreola. Haye Im not quite sure about and I honestly haven't watched enough of Stiverne to make an educated guess guess. I agree with this. altho I think haye would be too quick for an aging tt

styles make fights.. if thompson did beat pulev then yes he is in the discussion... I think thompson would have his hands full with haye, fury, and even chisora, arreola, stiverne.. hard to call him the best heavy not named klit I think he would destroy Fury, Chisora and Arreola. Haye Im not quite sure about and I honestly haven't watched enough of Stiverne to make an educated guess guess.

Getting KO'ed by Wlad for the second time was the best thing that could've happen to Thompson, Maloney thought Price would do the same and look how that ended:lol1: Now Tony has earned decent amount of money and has a chance of 3rd fight with Wlad. Lucky guy

Lets hope not....I fully expect Pulev to beat his ass tho

No, Haye is and still would be.

yea,,,its not an easy one too call as pulev hasnt faced any great opposition and we really dont know just how good or bad price really is so tt maybe just a bit overrated for those wins. he was beaten pretty badly by wlad in the rematch and price did almost have tt out True, but Price has real power. If Thompson wins this fight it will be because Pulev moves straight in and straight out and it will allow the bigger Thompson to catch and hurt him at some point. This should be a very interesting fight no matter who wins. Question about both will be answered.

I wouldn't argue to much with this scenario. yea,,,its not an easy one too call as pulev hasnt faced any great opposition and we really dont know just how good or bad price really is so tt maybe just a bit overrated for those wins. he was beaten pretty badly by wlad in the rematch and price did almost have tt out

I would lose some major respect if wlad fought thompson again. that would just be stupid. I let mormeck and pinetta pass becuz alot of the top fighters turned down fights with wlad,,,but this would be just bad I don't think he will. I would mind seeing Vits vs Thompson if Tony wins though. That's doubtful though as it appears V will retire instead of making the Stiverne fight and I don't see any way he fights Thompson with a belt on the line.

I think thompson makes a good fight of it early but pulev should wear the old man down late. pulev isnt spectacular in any one area but hes solid and has shown very good stamina. should be a competitive scrap though I wouldn't argue to much with this scenario.

But isn't it an eliminator for the IBF? Maybe not officially but Pulev probably gets a shot if he wins. Regardless, I truly hope Wlad would give up his belt instead of fighting TT for a third time. Or, Vitali could swoop in and make him give up his mandatory shot by offering him a shot at the WBC strap. yea,,,wlad cares too much about that belt. he should just let it go when or if tt becomes mandatory. I wouldnt mind seeing vit fight him tho,,,at least hes old like tt now,,,and it could make for a close tough fight. wish vit would retire tho and let the younger guys scrap for it

Lol hell no. Pulev hasn't faced top competition of his own, so how would that elevate Thompson? It would rather prove that Pulev is not as good. If Thompson could beat Pulev, Haye and then Povetkin/Fury then I could agree to him beig the second best. The real question is.. If TT beats Pulev, will we see a Wlad trilogy?

I expect Wlad to take care of Povetkin rather easily so that will push him down the list. I suppose Haye can be argued, especially if he destroys Fury like most expect. As far as the fight itself, I see it as a 50/50 toss up.

If Tony Thompson beats Kubrat Pulev In their now signed fight will he become the best fighter at heavyweight not named Klitschko? Lol hell no. Pulev hasn't faced top competition of his own, so how would that elevate Thompson? It would rather prove that Pulev is not as good. If Thompson could beat Pulev, Haye and then Povetkin/Fury then I could agree to him beig the second best. The real question is.. If TT beats Pulev, will we see a Wlad trilogy?

I think he'd be a bit behind povetkin at #3 followed by haye but pulev should get the victory I expect Wlad to take care of Povetkin rather easily so that will push him down the list.

I say yes because he already is the best non klit HWT along with Povetkin. But based on some crap I read earlier he would only be 4th best behind the klits and Haye.
