Pulev is garbage; the HW div. is trash.

[ELPacman]

Yeah but dat ring entrance yo!

[billeau2]

The fact that you think Leapai and Pulev are equivalents says it all. Dig a hole and lay it gramps, you're outdated. Yeah Bonescrusher Smith is a real legend, lol.

Smith would pound Pulov into Bulgarian farm cheese.

[billeau2]

yeah cause you know a hell of a lot of boxing yourself.

Pulev is a decorated amateur and worthy opponent.

Worthy of what is the question? he certianly could sub for my Blue Rock em sock em Robot....Although mr Blue keeps his head a little lower and still has more head movement than the decorated Bulgarian amateur prodigy. Now my Red rock em sock em? thats a different story.

You trollin, history guy.

Do you think Pulev has potential, from what you saw? Vlad is chasing Louis. If this forum existed 75 years ago we would know debate how Joe just defeated Tony 2 ton Galento.

[low blows]

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.

Bruno was a poor mans Wlad. Wlad would destroy him, Bruno was robotic and had chin and stamina issues but if he was great or a near great wouldn't he have won a belt during his prime? He had to wait for a crazy mental case who could be out boxed to win a title. Even then he was hanging on for dear life in the 12th round. The Wlad we see now would never be troubled by McCall late. Also his fear of Tyson in the rematch was comical, considering Holyfield destroyed about a year and half later by just out boxing him.

[Divine Hammer]

the truth is americans insult the heavyweight division because they don't have a heavyweight champ. simple.

if wlad retired and wilder were to pick up one of the vacant belts then there won't be no more hate or talk about heavyweight being trash. in fact they'll talk about it being rejuvenated and start talking about all these heavyweights they used to trash.

bitter americans can't deal with the fact that they haven't had a world champion in so long.

when you have an ATG legend like wlad dominating a division then of course everyone else will look far inferior doesn't mean they're crap.

[tank17211]

What a stiff. Literally. Could the guy stand up any straighter or keep his chin up in the air anymore than he does? How could Wlad miss? The div. is a disgrace to what HW boxing used to be. Just another crap win for Wlad as people continue to believe he is one of the greatest HW's of all time. He's not. He's just competing in an era where fighters literally have minimal boxing skills. Wlad would've gotten wrecked and been knocked out multiple times had he come up in the 90's. And if you don't believe that, then you really don't know your boxing.

Wlad needs to fight Wilder or Briggs. It seems those are the most attractive fights right now. Honestly, no one under 6 foot 6 is any threat to Wlad.

[Ray Corso]

No one in the heavyweight division can fight, period!!!!

If that guy the other night is a legit number one contender the entire division should be suspended for lack of talent!!!

If Wlad is an ATG why does he look so bad in the ring?
Every time he misses with his jab (which is often) he falls in and "hungs"!

As for old 2 Ton Tony Galento at least he came to fight!!! He wasn't afraid of anyone and he was just a brawler/street fighter. Also if he hit you with his hook you'd get hurt and that's anybody. If he had a ladder he would KO Wlad.
hahahaha.............the division is a mess!
You have guys who are undefeated fighting horrible competition you have an old maniac following Wlad around yelling at him! The Champ would rather go row boating than hold a real press conference or fight someone who will fight back!

Oh well no big deal its been like this for years now, I mess!
Remember Lewis, Evander, Tyson even Razor to old Big George? At least there was some drama and excitement, these bouts today offer scratch, nothing!!! People talk about the "entrance" instead of the fight. It's as if pro boxing has become the junior division of pro wrestling!!! That's were the fans actually believe all the hype!!!!..........sound familiar?

Yeah but dat ring entrance yo!

Yeah if they pulled that Cobra stunt for Froch in an english arena full of drunk Brits, they would go nuts.

[SUBZER0ED]

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 isn't really a bum, but he is inexperienced, and needs to sharpen his technique. He kept his hands too far from his face, didn't move his head and kept being a sucker for the left hook. Klitschko was sharper and more vicious than he has been lately. However, I didn't like the way he pushed Pulev down each time he hurt him, while Weeks said nothing about it.
