    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.

      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 doubt Thompson beats Pulev

              Price was utter garbage (i'd been saying that for a long time) and in that second fight Thompson himself was in trouble until price gassed.

              Pulev bashed up and ko'd price multiple times in the amateurs and has a far more solid H/W resume.

              Pulev ko6 thompson

                Pulev is interesting to me since has taken care of two 6'7 type fighters in his last two. I've never seen any of his fights.

                But to answer your question; as far as Rankings go, yes he would be #1. But as long as Haye is out there and still somewhat active, he should be ahead of Thompson since he didn't get knocked out against Wlad.

                  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 Now Tony has earned decent amount of money and has a chance of 3rd fight with Wlad. Lucky guy

                    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.
