Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko-Pulev Final Presser Gets Controversial

[Balloonknot]

its simple his opponent hadnt finished his shift with the cab company he works for...its tough being an up and coming boxer

This will be easy work for Wlad.

Pulev is extremely limited, he's slow and he has very little power; basically, he lacks everything required to pose a real threat to Wlad.

We all know Pulev is Wlads next victum, He has neither the skill set or power to worry Wlad.

yes everyone said wlad was ducking the guy that no one even knows lol. the problem was wlad lobbied the ibf to install leapai as the mandatory so he could have an easy fight. that was garbage. leapai didn't earn that shot. he didn't even fight an eliminator. he beat untested whats his face in a ten rounder. this is another easy fight against a fat guy who thinks he can out jab klitschko. he doesn't have the mobility to avoid wlad's jab. what a farce. wlad ducked chisora not this fool. chisora would have brought the fight to him and wlad would of had to go into clinch mode 24/7 in order to survive.

Vitali wobbled CHisora with an injured left shoulder and a broken right hand.Wladimir is definitely not Vitali in terms ofintuition ( Vitali can totally outbox you without having a proper gameplan because he's extremely intuitive).

Do you really believe that Chisora would sustain Wladimir's bombs? I dont...

Possibly not anymore but back then he would have. It would have been a clinch-a-thon rivalling the Povetkin farce.

Anyway, this is silly from Team Klitschko, just let the guy's team in. Nothing wrong with this fight, Pulev earned his shot.

[Boxing Goat]

Wach did and I think Pulev could too, even without the PEDs. Maybe we'll find out soon.

He is bigger than Wlad and was on PED's. Not only that, Wlad never really hit him with his money punch either.

3 men were allowed, Pulev wanted 6. I can't recall of a Klitschko presser where you had 6 men sitting from each camp.

Pulev was silly there. He should understand that he has to earn the right to impose his conditions. Now he is still a challenger... just like Leapai , Povetkin and Pianeta were.

This was clearly a very weak mind game from Pulev's aka Sauerland side.

[Ravens Fan]

no he couldn't. he's too muscular to be a good boxer. the same reason shannon briggs isn't a good boxer and can't throw punches for more than 10 seconds. i've actually studied fitness, nutrition, and sport science so maybe this is like trying to teach mayweather how to read. its just not possible. does this count as evidence? maybe its not as good as your i saw a fat man box into the later rounds once but it will have to do.

pulev fought into the later rounds so what? shannon briggs just went 10 and won. who was he fighting is the question? when you fight wlad this is championship elite boxing. this isn't tony thompson or dimitrenko. pulev's body isn't in the best shape for him to get the most out of it. he's going to be carrying a lot of weight that will zap him in the later rounds, that will make him slower, that will make him less explosive. the point is he's not trying his best to win and i have no respect for a slob like him. and if he thinks carrying extra weight to match wlad is the best strategy he's wrong.

why do you think wlad and vitali always score late knockouts? because their opponents are completely done by that time so they can start to take risks. sam peter was able to go the disatance and come on late against jameel mcline wat happened when he fought the klitschkos! what happened is getting hit wears your body down and getting hit while you are carrying extra weight wears you down even more on top of increasing your chances of getting hit. you ever heard the phrase "his fitness saved him from being ko'd there?" i know they don't say it often in the heavyweights but there's a reason they say that. because its true. pulev looks fine for the average joe though that's all that matters. average joe vs the heavyweight champ of the world! i'm pumped! i hope average joe wins and faces joe the plumber next!

You studied nutrition, where did you get your information out of the back of a comic book? By the way I believe Stallone wouldn't have been a champion boxer simply because he was a fictional fighter in a movie. Therefore it wouldn't have anything to do with how many muscles he may have had.

As far as Pulev is concerned you may have had a point if he showed up on fight night looking like Arreola. But he doesn't and he isn't a fat slob so you really have no point. I also believe he will carrying his weight into the fight. Which has pretty much been the same his entire career and not this extra weight you keep mumbling on about.

As far as Peter fighting McCline is concerned, and this may be a far fetched analysis of the fight. But just maybe Peter lasted longer and did better simply because he was fighting Jameel McCline and not one of the Klit bros. By the way, that would be the same McCline that has knocked out less then 50% of his opponents. Wow, that was really hard to figure that one out. Peter also went into the second Wlad fight almost ten pounds lighter than when he fought McCline. Did you happen to see how much the weight difference made? I didn't.

In closing I will say that I believe that regardless if Pulev comes in at 275 or 225 he will lose to Wlad. And it will have nothing to do with how much Pulev happens to weigh. And why? Because I simply believe that Wlad is a much better fighter and Pulev doesn't have the power to keep him off. I also believe that Pulev's height will work against him. Because when Wlad fights tall opponents he tends to fight more and hug less. So in the end I believe Pulev may end getting Wached!

Who? How could anyone even possibly care about this "fight" outside of drunk German Turd jugglers? The only thing I'd be interested in seeing of Klitchko is if Shannon Briggs Palm Bombs* him in front of his old lady.

*Palm Bomb: Farting into cupped hand then immediately placing it over the face/nose of unsuspecting victim.

You are ignorant. Pulev is a Top5 heavyweight based on skill. However, he lacks power to be a real thread to Wlad. But hes the best opponent for Wlad since Haye. And he would beat a guy like Stiverne comfortably on points.

I agree. pulev is definitely a top 3 heavyweight. I have him right behind povetkin. he has underrated skills and hand/foot speed. the lack of power could hurt him against wlad but it should be a good fight. I dont think pulev will crumble early or go into a defensive shell once he tastes wlads power unlike many others. the dudes a tank with a granite chin and excellent stamina
