He clearly is. Pulev has bronze medal from amateur world championship and he was European champion also.
Chisora and Hughie Fury are better wins than Jennings. Pulev also gave first defeat to prime Ustinov.
If Pulev is Euro level, Ortiz is latino -American level, or whatever. Pulev would be the best Wilder`s win.
The PBC don't match Ortiz with absolute nobodies just for the fun of it. That's his level. If he was really good he wouldn't be facing 3rd rate fighters all the time.
Why???? Pulev lost every round and, was dropped 5 times and KOed. AJ looked good and Pulev looked like victim so what make Pulev special and better than Ortiz?
Don't use all that pedigree stuff when it comes to today's heavyweights. Ortiz looks like Mr. Marshmallow man, but all he does is win and has shown that he can crack. Those triangle theories never seem to work well in analysis either.
