Pulev is garbage; the HW div. is trash.

I'm old so I was treated to ali and the greats, those brothers wouldn't have come close to sniffing those belts back in prime time

"TREATED" to Ali and the greats?

The K's could have won those belts in their first pro fights and kept them locked up until they were, oh, about 60!

People are trying to tell me Poolev is a highly skilled champion

He's literally got no skills-

Pulev has terrific skills! Remember BEFORE the fight, everyone was comparing how his skills were very similar to Wlad's!

You can never accept that Wlaidmir SHUTS DOWN the opponents style can you? That concept is missed by all OTNB fans because they are used to boxing which was more like a drunken brawl!

10 years later and we're still playing this game of bummifying the opponent of Wlad to make him seem a little less superior to your old school favourites!

You sound pathetic!

The Euro's have the finest skills, the hardest chins and the hardest shots in boxing now my friend. And you better ****ing get used to it!

Bruno would've ****ed Pulev up, badly.

Yeah right.

Bruno's only claim to fame is landing a few good punches on a lazy Lennox Lewis who considered him nothing but a complete bum.

[LacedUp]

I agree, for the most part. Bruno would be a tricky fight for Wladimir. He'd be conscious of Bruno's power and inside game, so would likely jab and tie him up for the first half of the fight before perhaps scoring a late KO or wide UD.

Yeah exactly. I think Wlad is a better fighter, no doubt. he's got many more tools in his locker. but how would he stand up to a Bruno left hook?

Both fight scared when it comes to good opponents and it would likely be a timid boring affair with Wlad being the busier fighter and probably win a decision.

What's Pulev's?

Beating a 42 year old Tony Thompson?

[LacedUp]

What's Pulev's?

Beating a 42 year old Tony Thompson?

Nobody ever claimed Poolev had skills. He's flat footed and has his chin in the air , add to that he's got a crappy defence that let 42 year old Thompson, who never was any good himself, land 40+% of his power shots on him.

But when he fights Wlad he's highly skilled.

Laughable.

[Weltschmerz]

Smh at these fools discrediting a very good boxer in Pulev

He gave Vlad a good fight as long as it lasted, many of Vlad's opponents don't come to fight like that.

How can anybody who understands boxing claim Pulev to be garbage? He is clearly a classy fighter, he has a deep amateur background and was decorated with numerous medals as an am. He won gold in the super heavyweight division in 2008, for instance. He is a skilled boxer ffs.

He is also still fairly young and still on a learning curve. I bet he will propel from the Vlad fight and most likely be the champ when Vlad retires!

Pulev was a great opponent and a great boxer.

Pulev has fought strong and durable opposition.

Frank Bruno is a joke

He fought SOME strong and durable opposition but not as good as Pulev. The 2 great fighters he fought, flogged him out too!
