I don't see Del Boy taking this; I think he'd simply be eating jab leather for 12 rounds. Not even a big risk for Kubrat (although Del is capable of the upset).

Chisora has few issues working past a jab. I don't see that being a problem against Pulev who does not have a great deal of power.

The biggest potential problem for Chisora in this bout is the refereeing.

As has been pointed out before tho, Pulev wants Wlad, the only way this happens any time soon is if Wlad decides to make Kubrat wait.

I don't give Kubrat much of a chance against Klitschko.

chisora has come a long way & he is a perfect example of why you don't protect your fighters. he has 22 fights & his level of competition is pretty darn good. I realized during the pulev\Thompson fight that pulev has questionable power. I don't know if that nice jab & arsenal of punches can keep chisora out of his kitchen... great matchup & I have issues picking a winner. if pulev had 1 punch KO power then I wouldn't even hesitate picking him but he doesn't so it's anyone's fight!!!

Huh? This doesn't make any sense. I'm all for Chisora-Pulev and I wanted to see that fight when Pulev was EBU champ but surely at this point this fight is not happening? Pulev was EBU champ already and Chisora was his mandatory but from what I understand Pulev dropped his EBU belt to fight Thompson to officially become Wlad's IBF mandatory. Why would Pulev backtrack to a European title when he's Wlad's mandatory- Wlad isn't vacating any belts so surely Wlad-Pulev will happen in 2014

I dunno

not sure how IBF rules are but I guess if he doesn't lose mandatory status to Wlad this could be a "stay busy" fight if the Wlad fight won't be for a while, but it would be a hell of a stay busy fight and very risky lol

Yeah it sounds weird. I'd like the fight to happen though and then the winner faces Wlad

Chisora was horrendously out of shape for the Tyson Fury fight. He's beaten Malik Scott and Helenius who are not top level but just below. He's given top level guys like Vitali and Haye very tough outings. And now he's in the best shape of his career.

Pulev has beaten mostly bums. A 42 year old Tony Thompson was probably his best opponent and he looked poor.

he wasnt in great shape for fury but he wasnt horrendously out of shape and I doubt being 10 lbs lighter would have made that much a difference. helenius has looked terrible ever since his peter win and scott hasnt beaten anyone with a pulse. vitali was a shot 40 yr old fighting with a badly injured shoulder yet still won by a descnet margin. I just dont see all the hype with chisora. I also dont think he gave haye a very tough outing. jeez he was knocked out before the halfway mark of the fight. hes tough and not afraid to mix it up but also very beatable as we've seen
