Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Kubrat Pulev Ordered By IBF

[King_]

Nothing new here- the King continuing his obliteration and cleaning of the HW division.


Pulev is a top 5 HW in the world no doubt and possibly the best not named Klitschko.

Wlad will make it look easy, and then haters will continue to hate because he dominated again and didn't get roughed up. Lol.

Rack up another legacy win for Wlad!

It's about time. Pulev is big & can box. He has a nice arsenal of punches but i always have questioned his power. Wlad won't be able to lean on pulev nor will he have a distinct size advantage. This is his toughest test he's had in a long time. Does pulev have enough to beat wlad? I'm not sure but wlad has an opportunity to help his reputation as outside his fans he is not as highly regarded worldwide as some think. He gets critism from the boxing writers & fans from all corners of the world from a lack of top opposition. Until the day wlad retires he will not have any excuse for not fighting the best. There is no shortage of challengers now. This is a fight boxing fans want to see. The HW champion being tested.

People said Haye would test him. Povetkin would test him. The thing that strikes me about Pulev is that he's a very good allround fighter, does everything well but doesn't do anything outstanding. He's a big, skilled boxer from the Eastern European school, but this could be a carbon copy of the Chagaev fight. Let's see.

He'll get spanked though.

He doesn't have the tools to compete with Wlad - but he does deserve a shot.

How did I know you would be here? Lol

Good post however

Good fight....

Kubrat Pulev is bigger and stronger than Ruslan Chagaev.

It will be more like the first Tony Thompson fight in 2008. Both Thompson and Pulev are big, crafty, awkward (although Pulev isn't a southpaw) and durable.

Tough fight, I expect Wlad wins this one by UD or late KO/TKO.

I expect the same.

good news.

Pulev can beat any HW not named Klitschko, but Wlad is a bad style matchup. He will be jabbed silly and he will not be able to do a thing about it.

Pulev doesn't really have anything in his arsenal that would trouble Wlad. Wlad can easily jab him and probably land the straight right all night until it's TKO time or a wide UD.

I don't recall a single souls saying that povetkin was gonna test him. Every one here pretty much agreed that povetkin was a paper champ and nothing more
