Is Pulev a Top 10 Win for Wlad?

[M Bison]

Tony Thompson
Alexander Povetkin
David Haye
Kubrat Pulev
Chris Byrd
Lamon Brewster
Calvin Brock
Samuel Peters
Sultan Ibragimov
Ray Mercer

That's what I think his top ten best wins are.

Pulev rocked Wlad with a jab once, he also has a good chin to get up.

Otherwise, his feet were like they were encased in cement blocks, basically a stand in front of you face first guy. Couldnt adapt or counter.

Most of the hw division is pretty weak, its like they are all journeymen basically except a few.

It's good to see HW boxing getting attention here and Wlad had a good night, obviously some of you here are speaking sense, some are overhyping and some are just hating, so, who thinks Pulev ranks as one of Wlad's top 10 wins? This in terms of Pulev's accomplishments, his overall ability and perceived threat to the champ?

I'll try and list better wins for Wlad:

Byrd
Haye
Povetkin
Peter
Thompson 1
Chambers
Chagaev
possibly ibragimov

.... think I'd find space for Pulev up there then.

You could sort of morph Chambers, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Povetkin and Pulov together....Professional powder fisted opponents who pose no serious threat whatsoever. Peter has been proved to be a bust, Thompson is good but old, he would be a gatekeeper in a decent heavyweight division....which he kinda is here except that in this case he has prevented quite a few from entering the gates haha. Byrd and Haye are decent wins but not exceptional.

Vlad should perhaps rematch Haye and start fighting the young lions!

Wouldn't call Povetkin a powderfist. He's got power and he's a good fighter. Wlad just clinched too much for him to actually show it.

Decent list of opponents for any solid contender.

We actually agree on something! too bad for Vlad that no matter how you color a sows ear silk it will never be.

^ This.

Vladimir is getting close to Lennox, in every aspect. When you scrutinize the resume of Lennox, it isn't that stellar, and Vlad already is way past him longevity-wise.

If Wladimir had fought Lennox Lewis he would have got knocked out straight away and thats nothing against Wlad or anything for him to be ashamed of, i gave him credit for his win against Pulev and Wladimir is the champion now so you can't take that away from him.

See, how is he a worthy top 5 in the division? He's literally only beaten Tony Thompson. That's it. This was his first fight against anyone truly good and he was awful. Hell, even Chisora has done more than Pulev, and when he fought a Klitschko, he didn't look like garbage in the process.

This was Pulev's first chance to prove he was any good. He didn't.

you don't think pulev is a top 5 heavyweight?

name 5 that are better, I'll help you out:
Fury
Stiverne
Povetkin

Now you else will you add in there? Chisora? Helenius? Glazkov? Wilder?

David Haye. Like I said, Chisora has done as much as Pulev and didn't **** the bed when he fought a Klitschko.

I'm not saying Pulev definitely isn't top 5, but it's kind of sad that he might be.
