Comments Thread For: Pulev on Klitschko: It's a Fake Injury, Complete Nonsense

[BostonGuy]

hopefully all this crying from pulev will fire wlad up some and make him more aggressive so we can get a descent fight. he'll probably be his calm self tho and take his time as usual

I was thinking this. I think Pulev's trying to get some mental edge here by goading Klitschko. It's a futile attempt because Wlad is cool as ice, especially on the big stage.

Wlad quickly made a reschedule date. He he probably is injured... If he doesn't fight him in november & fights someone else then there is possibly some legitimacy to the fake injury theory... Doubt it was a drug test thing either...

[Unseen]

Agree with above poater. WK has never ducked and was able to avenge one of his most embarassing TKO defeats. 2.5 months is plenty time for a slights tear. He could have fought this guy and won but would risk a serious career ending snap!

I highly suspect he 'injured' himself VS Chisora to get to Haye.

chisora wasnt a deserved mandatory like pulev. I doubt wlad would screw pulev like that but if he did id lose massive respect for sure

[SN!PER]

He acts like the big man in the division now, but let's see what happens once Wlad is jabbing his face off in the ring.

[Arthur Daley]

HAHAHAHA klitschko ducked briggs in 2007 when briggs won the title. They shouldve fought next but wlad fought ray austin instead.

Austin was a mando challenger.

[Weebler I]

Finding a way out so he can fight Stiverne the way he did with the Haye fight?

Seems kind of unlikely because Stiverne can make good money in an easier fight vs Wilder (who lets face it is just a big slow goon) but I can't think of anyone else Wlad would walk out of a Pulev fight for. Haye (x), Fury (doesn't seem serious about a Wlad fight) and Stiverne.

Possibly, or perhaps the Pulev fight simply makes more money in November than it does next week.

He might even vacate for all we know. One thing's for certain, from the very beginning Team Klitschko did not want this fight.

yea,,,thats possible but if so it was to fight a much more dangerous fighter in haye

A business decision.

Okay, forgive me. Let's go crazy over a TWO month postponement and start the "ducking" accusations. Because a postponement is so rare in boxing. It only happens like every time, for every meaningful fight. Wlad is not PULLING OUT of the fight, it's just being pushed back a little. Relax.

That's what people said about Haye-Fury.

Why is Pulev in such a hurry to get his a$$ kicked?

Money and a chance at glory, same as every other up and coming fighter?

[Elroy1]

Why didn't he avenge the other two though? If he's never ducked anyone, why didn't he take care of business himself?

Remember when Wlad was knocked out by Sanders, Vitali was livid. Jumping into the ring shouting at Sanders as if he'd done something he shouldn't do.

Wlad has ducked a few fights in his career, as has most others, for one reason or another.

Wlad has never ****ed anybody in his career you moron.

Come on mate, sometimes you make unjustified digs at the man.

The evidence is in for Sanders ducking Wladimir on purpose at first. And by the time a rematch would have been warranted again, Sanders was not even relevant (and then retired).

And as for Puritty, he was never relevant anyway. I don't really know much about that affair tbh but I think it pretty obvious who'd WIN the damn rematch there.

Wladimir ducking Chisora.. Haha, have another drink. People DO get injured and this is modern boxing. Never will we see 1-arm bandits entering a fight anymore.

This is PROFESSIONAL boxing in 2010s. Not 1930's or 1970's BUM fights

he vacated his lightly regarded WBO belt which was not recognized as a world title to fight for the vacant WBC world title against vitali... he didn't duck wlad he destroyed him & moved on to better & bigger things in a world title fight. before then most champions vacated it to get a shot at the big 3. only European fighters kept & defended it.At heavyweight, especially in the United States, the organization struggled to gain credibility as a major sanctioning body, with WBO heavyweight title-holders Michael Moorer, Rid**** Bowe, and Henry Akinwande relinquishing the title to pursue other options. Boxing publication The Ring also didn't recognize the WBO. In 2004 the WBC began naming WBO champions on its ranking listings.The IBF did not recognise the WBO in May 2006,but was doing so by February 2007. the WBO champions were not world champions until the mid 2000s...

mike Tyson was the WBC, IBF & WBA champion when the WBO decided to make a title... your first WBO title fight

[LacedUp]

I remember reading purrity and brew turned down immediate rematches with wlad but I dont think wlad ever wanted anything more to do with sanders. his style was all wrong for wlad

I honestly don't know if that's true. I just find it hard to believe that someone would duck a fighter they've already beaten to take on his much tougher older brother.

Wlad has never ****ed anybody in his career you moron.

The evidence is there yes. That Wlad didn't fight two of the three guys that beat him, his brother did. You can make up as much fiction as you'd like, but those are the facts.

I never claimed Wlad 'ducked' Chisora, I don't know where you got that from. But he did ***** out on his deal with him for a more lucrative fight citing a fake injury. Which is what many of you lot are criticizing Haye for. Both of which are true.

You need to get a new tune. It's old, ****** and boring.
