Can Pulev derail a AJ v Fury match?

Don't make predictions one way and then call opposite predictions asinine - not only are you then a hypocrite, you are also a troglodyte. It really blows my mind, the double standards from the Joshua haters on this site. What in the completely random malarkey are you talking about?!

He’s better than Ruiz so of course he has a chance, AJ is always going to a be vulnerable fighter. But do I think he will win? No. AJ should stop Pulev in the mid rounds IMO.

I always wonder do you delusional fanatics actually expect people to read pass the completely asinine projections yall make? I stopped at the bolded lmao.

It's certainly very possible. Once exposed, always exposed. Would probably end AJs career!

:lol1: Can anyone actually picture Pulev holding Joshua's belts? :lol1: It's certainly very possible. Once exposed, always exposed.

Fury and Wilder scared of an untrained Andy Ruiz lol. The guy is an absolute tool. Would say Idk what his problem is lol but sadly I do!

How do you come to that conclusion? Wilder and Fury don't have the sand to fight Ruiz; even in his JoshuavRuiz2 condition. Ruiz would close the distance on Wilder too quickly and probably the same with Fury. None of the top 3 are as quick to close the distance and go inside, as we've seen Ruiz do. Ruiz wasn't even knocked down until he fought Joshua so his chin is solid. No way Fury will put him down, even with his glove shenanigans. Ruiz just ruined it for himself in the rematch. Also, considering the weight restrictions at Floyd's class, there wouldn't be anyone as big as Ruiz, would there? So how can there be any comparison? That's the same as saying if Joshua, Wilder and Fury were middleweights, they wouldn't be top 3.

i think he could do it, if he lands that perfect shot like he did on Ravalo, anythings possible

Pulev isn’t in the same class as AJ and will probably get dominated. But Pulev has enough amateur experience and a heavyweight punch that it is possible. It reminds me a lot of Joshua-Ruiz 1 to be honest. I’m picking Joshua by KO but he doesn’t have a great chin and it’s always vulnerable because of that. Totally true. After Ruiz 1, you know every Joshua fan (including myself) has a seed of doubt as to whether AJ can take a truly heavy hit. I think its not a case of if/when Pulev can connect with Joshua but more if Pulev can survive long enough to get that big shot in. Joshua needs a highlight reel KO to assert some 'tier 2 fighter' dominance - it's worked for Fury against Schwarz and Pulev is a better all round fighter, than Schwarz - otherwise, whenever a mandatory comes around, there is doubt as to whether Joshua can win. Although its exciting for neutrals/casuals, you need to be dominant (especially against outside top 5-10) to be truly considered ATG material and worthy Undisputed. None of the 3 elite boxers have done that to date, IMO.

NO he's being aptly rated. AJ is just extremely overrated. Even after being exposed. Floyd would've never loss to an Andy Ruiz caliber fighter- especially under the advantageous conditions that fight took place at for AJ. Guess who else wouldn't have loss that? Wilder. Neither would Fury. How do you come to that conclusion? Wilder and Fury don't have the sand to fight Ruiz; even in his JoshuavRuiz2 condition.

If AJ comes to box again he will be difficult to beat. It will be a boring fight.

I think AJ will play it safe like he did vs Ruiz and at least test out Pulev, land a few and see how it troubles Pulev.

Only one answer here, AJ flattens him. Simple.

Can't see it, only thing pulev has going for him is a good jab. It's unlikely he has the power to hurt aj and there's no way he wins a decision. He's also about 7 years past his prime. (even in his prime I don't like his chances)

Yeah he actually has a pretty awkward style even though he is very upright. Although Wladimir flattened him, it actually took him a few rounds to get to grips with that style. I think he’s deceptively awkward considering people think he has a kind of stiff upright European style. I think Joshua should win at this point though. He's good if you choose to box him at long range, he's not particularly quick on the back foot, and he's pretty trash up close so if Joshua has any sense he will just close him down as soon as the first bell rings Pulev is one of those guys who is much more effective than he looks. He got the better of Hughie Fury at long range, and while Hughie has his faults, his long range stick and move game is pretty good. Shades of Ali! :lol1: Pulev didn't fight in his usual cautious, methodical style against Wlad. He came into the ring angry and resentful because of a dispute over the pre fight PED testing. Pulev was with Sauerland at that time, and all Sauerland fighters had to undergo random OS PED testing before every fight, because of a contract Sauerland had with a German TV company. Sauerland tried to get Wlad to undergo the same testing protocol as Pulev, but Wlad said "no way", which really pissed Pulev off. I think he was also too much influenced by all the talk about Wlad's supposed glass jaw, which was rampant at that time, due to Wlad apparently being wobbled by a jab from Alex Leapai in the first round of his previous fight. Like I said, Pulev didn't fight in his usual style. He fought angry, looking to take Wlad out, and he paid the price.

He is a top 10 world rated heavyweight who can punch so he could win just like Ruiz did.

Can Pulev disrupt a AJ v Fury fight? He is the underdog against AJ, but perhaps Pulev is being severely underrated as a risk that can jeopardise the mega fight. NO he's being aptly rated. AJ is just extremely overrated. Even after being exposed. Floyd would've never loss to an Andy Ruiz caliber fighter- especially under the advantageous conditions that fight took place at for AJ. Guess who else wouldn't have loss that? Wilder. Neither would Fury.

Pulev has not looked impressive in his last three fights. I think he is faded. He's smart and technically sound but he looked slow to the punch last time I saw him in the ring. He's not a great puncher, either. If Joshua takes his time and breaks him down he'll probably stop him in the mid to late rounds.

Pulev is a good long range boxer, maybe a better long range boxer than AJ. This could be a very different fight to the one most people expect. Yeah he actually has a pretty awkward style even though he is very upright. Although Wladimir flattened him, it actually took him a few rounds to get to grips with that style. I think he’s deceptively awkward considering people think he has a kind of stiff upright European style. I think Joshua should win at this point though.
