Not Solis and Ustinov. Pulev beat Ustinov in the opening round of the four-fighter IBF eliminator.

To clarify: first Adamek who was tired after four fights in 2012 turned it down, then Jennings turned it down, then Fury turned down, then Chagaev turned it down, then Adamek said he would but the IBF refused, then Jennings was offered it again but turned it down.

Finally, Tony Thompson said "yes".

Well you're saying not Ustinov but then saying the correct thing which is that he was in the eliminator's opening round.

You're saying not Solis, but if you look it up you'll find he was definitely ordered to be in the four man eliminator.

Adamek being tired means nothing. He agreed to be in the eliminator, he won ("officially'') his part and then dropped out on Pulev. That was his fault. He's the one who did that. He screwed over Pulev.

Fury did not turn down the eliminator. He fought Cunningham to be in the eliminator, then screwed Pulev to take a more lucrative Haye fight. The only thing he turned down was his own obligation.

Thanks for putting things in their right place.

What funny is after Wlad stops this guy in 5, nut bags will point out how exciting both his and the division is.

Your post is very ungrammatical.

This fight is disgusting and inexcusible, seeing as Pulev has been in line for a title shot for nearly 2 years now. I was willing to give Wladimir a free pass for the Mormeck fight, seeing as nobody of note wanted to fight him at the time, but now there's at least 3 guys (Pulev, Fury, Wilder) who would take the opportunity right now and make an interesting fight of it.

Don't forget Chisora who'd leap at the chance to pummel Wladimir.

The heavyweight division is just fine.

If the division is fine, it must have fine fighters.

Name those fine fighters.

Wladimir & Vitali Klitschko.

"Lineal" Heavyweight Champion? Let's trace that for a moment just starting with Ali. Ali beats Liston then comes out on top of the Frazier/Norton/Foreman storm. Larry Holmes (And Trevor Berbick) Dismantle Ali and retire him. Mike Spinks beats Holmes. Mike Tyson KO's Larry Holmes, Trevor Berbick, Michael Spinks...plus all of the paper title holders. Mike tyson loses to Busturd Douglas, who loses to Evanderoid "The Preaching baby Daddy" Holyfield. Holyfield is whipped by Lennox Lewis. Lewis KO's Tyson. Vitali Klitchko gets beat down by Lennox Lewis and quits. Vitali buys the paper Championship. Vitali quits against Chris Tyrd then becomes the unofficial president of the WBC. Fights when he wants, who he wants. Retires again. Along the way splits paper belts with Wladimir. Wladimir takes over the tradition, appoints "mandatory" contender that no one has ever heard of before.

Wlad has won one fight in his career, David Haye. Haye was obviously not even 80% and Wlad couldnt even hurt him.

Lineal?

Thanks for pointing that out, but it still doesn't change the fact.

Wladimir & Vitali Klitschko.

So the Klit Sisters are the division?

What about their fine opposition that make up the rest of the fine division?
