Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko is Pumped For Kubrat Pulev Defense

[Divine Hammer]

Millions of Euros for opponent who poses zero threat, sanctioning body that is bought off cheap and steroid "testing" lab that's on your payroll.... whats not to be pumped for? Yay Wlad. :wank:

pulev poses zero threat? povetkin didn't pose a threat? wlad is fighting all the top guys and contenders in his division (all of them very good and skilled). what do you want? not his problem he is just far superior.

and there is nothing about wlad that screams PEDs. he hasn't connected himself to a steroid chemist or anything like that like marquez, donaire, ward, etc.

wlad is a good person inside and out.

Well, his brother was caught once. He's also declining to do random drug testing before a fight.

Aren't those two things some people could associate with suspecion?

How do you know he's a good guy? Do you know him?

that was so long ago and he didn't know the drugs the doctor gave him had a banned substance. vitali never tested positive beforehand and after the positive test so it is most likely he made a mistake and didn't knowingly took a banned substance. vitali is clean and i believe he is not a steroid abuser.

wlad is clean. end of story.

klitschkos are good people you can tell it by how they carry themselves unlike floyd princess punk mayweather conducting illegal fighting rings, beating women, etc. deal with it.

So you can't think of anybody you think he should fight instead but are whining about it anyway?

Stiverne doesn't have as much as a chance as Pulev but he was a serious answer slipped into that dodge, is that your answer?

ZZZZZZT wrong Pulev would **** on Stiverne.

At least Stiverne would have a punchers chance what does Pulev have? What is he going to do outjab Wlad?

A lot of Wlad fans seem to be hyping Pulev up as a threat but outside of a good jab he doesn't have much else going on.
Stiverne is a great bodypuncher, hes got very fast hands, the best counterpuncher in the division, he has KO power in both hands. Hes a lot more dangerous than the light-hitting Pulev.
He will lose the battle of the jabs in round 1, hes got nothing then.

Hmm.. Isn't that what all fighters say?

Of course he didn't test positive, when you don't do testing, it's hard to get caught wouldn't you say?

I'm not saying he's not a good person. So are many others, I don't see why Wlad is a particularly better person than any other well known fighter, and he's certainly not clean in the ring. I think that's been established over a long period of time.

Pulev is a good fighter imo. Just not good enough to beat Wlad.

He is ranked #1 by the only rankings that matter, it's not a matter of hype or fandom. This is the top opponent available.

I really don't think Stiverne even has a puncher's chance. His defensive strategy against Arreola seemed to be getting punched in the face until Arreola was tired, he's smaller than Pulev without being faster.

If Wlad realizes he can walk through Pulev's power then he's doomed, but he is at least quickfooted enough to make a sport of it. I doubt Stiverne would fair much better than Leapai from what I've seen of his style. He could look for that one big hook and never get close.

Really? Stiverne would flatten Leapai in a couple of rounds at best.

Stiverne is a much bigger test than Pulev is. If we're going by history and what has caused Wlad problems in the past, Stiverne fits that bill a lot more than Pulev.

He is okay but I can't envision him being competitive let alone winning & I think its more hes 'okay' compared to most of the sorry ass fighters in the division.

He won't beat Wlad. He wouldn't beat Povetkin or Stiverne, I really don't think he'd beat Takam or Fury either.
I'd give Wilder a hell of a shot too.

Tbh I thought he was a bit better before I watched bits of him recently.

Never really thought much of him either. He's tough and has an ok jab compared to the rest of the meagre division.

I foresee him losing to Wlad and then return to fight more of the bums of the heavyweight division.
