Kubrat Pulev: How would he have fared?

[JAB5239]

I was just thinking of past fighters with less than 20 fights who were rated in the top 10 and actually worthy given their comp and skills. Im tempted to go with Solis as I think he is the most talented, but the choice is Pulev since he is ranked by The Ring.

Tim Witherspoon put on a masterful performance against Larry Holmes going into his 16th fight. How would Pulev do against the very same Holmes who Witherspoon fought? First and foremost, could he even go 15 rounds? Second, could he deal with the speed and skills Holmes brought to the table?

With 16 fights under his belt, Pulev is not as good as Whiterspoon was when he challenged Holmes.

I think Holmes would have had no problem dealing with Pulev. Pulev isn't that polished. He's good, but he does nothing great. I'm kinda disappointed with him, I thought he was more promising earlier in his career. Struggling to beat Walker doesn't cut it for me.
