Good to hear, I'm looking forward following Pulev in the coming year

Not an ideal tune-up, but glad he's fighting again before 2014.

Wlad isn't going to fight him until he absolutely has to. Actually there is no reason that this fight shouldn't have been made. No more pianeta's & mormecks. Pulev has been free since august & wlad early october. Now that boytsov lost pulev is his only mandatory. If he doesn't fight him next he is obviously avoiding him. There are no other fighters he should be looking at. Just my opinion.

I dont think hes ducking pulev. pulev's style is actually tailor made for wlad. hes not an explosive puncher by any means and is more of a technician. he kinda reminds me of chageav to a point. anyway,,,if wlad takes on a soft touch in his next defense then the duck may be a valid point but I just dont see anything for wlad to fear in pulev

I thought Pulev would have been a solid and legit opponent for Wlad and than the Thompson fight happened. I now agree with just about everything you have said.

Pulev is going to fight D-level fighters waiting around hoping Wlad fights him sometime never.

This is the problem with having one champion in a division.

Yes, it is a shame. Still, Wladimir can't help being head and shoulders above the rest of the competition.

It's crap for boxing, Wlad might not fight again until May and if it's not Pulev, Kubrat wastes more of his prime and the fans miss out on some great alternative bouts.

no he just needs to start paying guys more & get rid of the multiple rematch clauses. the thing is the german fans pack the house no matter who he is fighting so he can fight butterbean & still make a boat load of money. i'm sorry but there are lots of fights out there for him but he refuses to compensate guys to get in the ring with him. look at abdusalamov. he got $40000 & now look at him. who in their right mind would want to fight a klitschko 3 times in a row & not get paid handsomely for it?
