Who will dethrone Wladimir?

[Caught Square]

What else would you call it? It was definitely even by the time of the stoppage, and Chisora was coming on. Regardless, Scott is shyt, and Wilder hasn't fought anyone and he'll be flattened by Wlad in no time if they fought, it's not even funny.

He's going to get embarrassed by Stiverne first though. The dude has absolutely no chin and no skills.

I would just call it a fight he had lol no particular name, his fight with Hector Avila was a comeback but then starting with the Scott fight he started to get in the best shape of his career.

Interesting mention of Stiverne because you talk about his poor resume yet Stiverne doesn't really have a better set of wins than Wilder. Arreola is just a recycled contender in reality plus Stiverne got knocked out by a random journeyman, at least Wilder didn't get knocked out against the journeyman he fought. Stiverne is a good fighter though.

Is Wilder's resume impressive? not at all, but he has beaten all who were in front of him with ridiculous ease (unlike Stiverne) and hopefully he gets credit after beating Stiverne.

I'm giving Pulev a good shot to beat Klitschko. Just a hunch. Pulev is being way overlooked. He's better than the recent crap Wladimir has fought.

Pulev is ordinary; he does a lot of things well but doesn't have the facet of his game that sticks out e.g. power or explosiveness. He good boxer, defends well, good speed but lacks that "x-factor."

As to the thread question, Wlad will probably retire without losing another fight. Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Luiz Ortiz are all threats but nothing Wlad hasn't seen before

Your analysis of Pulev is accurate, but Wlad is in his late 30's and has been matched very soft lately. I can see Pulev (who is very strong) wearing him down late and stopping him.

Joshua would put him away I think, has better fundamentals and hits equally as hard, neither's chin has been tested properly, so it could still go either way but if they fought my money would be on Joshua. . . Although I think Joshua is green atm, a year or 2 and the titans will clash.

(Disclaimer: Ignore my Avatar lol)

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought the title said Wilder, LOL

What do you mean neither's chin is tested? Wlad's been tested like mad lol

I do agree though, in two years AJ may be in line for some of the bigger fights, I still don't think he'll be ready for Wlad though.

I agree he looked very careless in his last fight. There were some big shots that barely missed him while he was in some precarious positions too.

Pulev is not a fighter that can hurt or slug it with Wlad, He is far too conservative.

he could very well retire undefeated, if someone were to beat him i would say ortiz or stiverne. simply because they are the next best HWs in the world atm imo. it would have to be in a couple of years after wlad slowed down some though.

the reason i think its a possibility is wlads style. vitali had been fading for years before he finally hung em' up, the reason he could get away with this was his durability. even though he was easier to hit he could take those shots. that may not be the case with wlad. if he stays around long enough to get nailed with a punch he wouldnt have been hit with today it may be curtains.

wlad is too much of a veteran and warrior. he will find a way to push through and overcome anything anyone can throw at him.

Nothing is forever. Well except for Hopkins. Great title reigns usually end unexpectedly.

Wlad is the consummate professional. He always comes into his fights well conditioned and prepared, no matter who the opponent is.

I would love more than anything to see Pulev push Wlad to the brink and give him some adversity to work through but I just don't see it. I hope Pulev, and you, prove me wrong

you gotta be kidding.

[Scott9945]

you gotta be kidding.

It's always easier to pick the heavy betting favorite. But you can cash in big once in awhile if you take the huge odds and gamble. Pulev isn't a stiff like Leapai, Pianeta, or Wach.
