Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Manager: Stiverne is Wlad's Target, Not Pulev

[jas]

Lol wlad knocks them both out anyway

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Quite frankly, I believe that Klitschko's biggest (and maybe only) threat is Povetkin. Stylistically, Povetkin is very hard to handle for Wladimir.

Povetkin would have looked like smashed potatoes if he fought Vitali ( Vitali would beaten him inside 10 rounds IMO), but with Wladimir it's a different story.

Pulev is a decent fighter but he hypes himself up. The same applies to Stiverne.

I don't think anything in the Wlad-Povetkin fight showed us that Povetkin could ever be competitive with Wlad.

When Wlad wasn't clinching (which wasn't often), Povetkin got smashed to bits. Imagine if Wlad just wouldn't clinch.

Wladiir can afford to avoid clinching for 6-7 rounds, if he didn't clinch, he would have gotten very tired in my opinion. If they were to have a rematch, Wladimir should work very hard on his stamina and try to knock him out inside 8 rounds. Povetkin is very athletic and has some very nice counter hooks. I like his footwork and his speed.

He faces a tough man in Manuel Charr, and he may have troubles to land clean shots on him. I am sure he would give a very hard night to the likes of Fury, Wilder and Jennings

I fully understand Klitschko and Bonte. Why pay a nobody like Pulev a 7 figure number when at the same time you got the chance to unify all belts? The IBF and WBC have to support Klitschko in this situation!

[Butt stuff]

Not a klitschko fan but it'll be a crying shame if he doesn't get his shot at unifying the titles. Pulev passed up an earlier opportunity already and besides, he can get a shot at Wlad when he has ALL the titles, and when hes slightly older.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Pulev has ever passed on an opportunity to fight Wlad. Waiting to fight for the unified titles sounds like a good idea, but what if Wlad lost to Stiverne?
Not likely, I know, but it could happen. Pulev would then have Wilder's mandatory shot to contend with and might miss his chance altogether.

Boente is a ****** ****!!!!

[PunchyPotorff]

So they don't wanna give Pulev a shot because he hasn't fought anybody. That could be said about many of Wlad's challengers in the past 10 years.

Just let the Stiverne/Wilder fight happen the way it's supposed to, meanwhile fight Pulev... unless you're afraid of him. Then fight the Stiverne/Wilder winner. That is unless Don King gets in the way like he usually does with some b.s. stipulations.

I don't like rich champions trying to run the sport. Add slave wages from Wlad's and you have the end result of a sport being compromised.

[beez721]

Boente says Pulev hasn't fought anybody huh?

When the fight is announced, he'll be a great fighter according to team Klitschko.

Wait and see.

probably but you cant blame them for going after bigger game. wlad is getting up there in age now so he wants to unify before its too late. father time is ticking
