    Pulev is the Best HW around today not named Klitschko. A step up for Pulev can only mean Wlad and that is as bad a matchup for Pulev as you could only imagine in your worse nightmare. Wlad will take him apart and give him a terrible beating.

    Pulev vs Fury or Haye would be fun matchups though.

      I didn't know that fighting guys on the verge of top 15 was classified as "stepping up".

      The reasons I feel he will get exposed, is not because he's bad because he's solid, but it's because some hae built him up to be the next big thing. He's a tough guy of course, but he doesn't do any particular thing well. He's physically strong but hasn't got much power.

        Lol. He most certainly is not.

        I would like to see him face some of the real contenders like Haye or Povetkin though. If he's number three, then this is the worst HW boxing era of all times.

        He's #6-7 as of right now in my book.

          What did you guys expect from Pulev? To KO Thompson in 1? He went into the fight knowing that he has to be extremely cautious as he's fighting a big, experienced southpaw who is also considered top 10 by many.

          Pulev took his time, then took over the match. Routine.

          These people trying to discredit him really have no shame.

            I agree - Pulev is the 3rd best HW out there, after Wlad and Vitali.

                  Nah - Wilder can't really box. Pulev can.

                    I think he would streamroll that kid you have in your sig. But Pulev? Living, durable contander who's not 50 years old? No he would not.
