Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev Batters, Stops Samuel Peter in Four Rounds

[Jewish-Reptile]

Anyone who can slip a jab beats Pulev, IMO. He has no inside game. Moreover, he doesn't have the abilities that Wlad has to tie people up and wrestle the energy out of them when they do get inside. That said, his jab is very good so it's not that easy to slip it.

I would back Takam, Ruiz, Povetkin, Parker etc to get inside and beat him up.

On what basis could Ruiz and Takam beat Pulev ? Takam comes forward with cumbersome force, forcibly trying to impose his strength on the inside to little effect against B class opposition, it'd be like a repeat of Chisora very little of note landing against him except I expect Takam would have an higher work rate and land more than the two punches of significance Chisora landed.

Does Takam utilise a jab of any kind ?

Ruiz lol, the dude would be shattered after 2-3 rounds he'd look like Chisora did at the end of the tenth against Pulev only he'd be blowing out his ass by the end of the third, sure he is infinitely more skilled than Takam and Chisora and could potentially make Pulev work in those early rounds for the win but I see no issue with Kubrat hitting Ruiz with those hooked body shots again and again.

He'd slowly and methodically beat Ruiz if he had too, Ruiz forced to fight at a pace he's unaccustomed too will be very telling this coming Saturday.

Povetkin and Prker I'd expect fire fights, pick ems. Make them happen the divison needs guys like Parker, Povetkin and Pulev making these fights whilst the likes of Joshua and Wilder fight Molina, Whyte and Breazeale.

Pulev takes his time always has, what's new ? He's methodical, hits hard and gets the job done. Wilder won't ever face him so I'm not sure why you'd bring his name up, Fury wanted none either.

Pulev is conditioned and fights hard for 12 rounds, he's as strong as a bull and applies unrelenting pressure from the get go, I saw Szpilka winning on the cards against Wilder and the dude had no previous amateur experience and here you are telling me Wilder has no problems with Pulev ? Laughable. Pulev has a glittering amateur record, although failing to compete at the Olympics.

i've seen Pulev on his butt by Klitschko & Abell. The Abell kd was simply Pulev getting careless but he got pasted by Klitschko's left hook. Wilder has one punch power. I think Pulev is top 5-6 but I don't see anything other then a great jab. He takes a lot of punches & Wilder has the same type of power Klitschko has. Wilder is vulnerable for sure but that ability to close it out with one punch can't be overlooked. Pulev had a great crowd in Bulgaria last night. I bet a few promoters took note. That can only help Pulev's stock...

That's your opinion, fair enough.

I think you're overrating Pulev, and underrating Takam. He's much better than Chisora, IMO.

Pulev doesn't have that great of a defense, and wasn't able to alter his game plan when he got hit repeatedly with that hook. To me this shows just how one-dimensional he is.

Pulev for me is slightly above gatekeeper level, and I'd expect to to get knocked out by guys with more athleticism and power, even if they're not as good technicians as him.

Pulev has a resume to rival Povetkin, he's second or third maybe fourth behind active best as far as I'm concerned, depends where you rate Ortiz. I would love to see Pulev vs Ortiz or Povetkin but both have different trajectories right now.

Wilder hasn't the chin to take Pulev's jabs, ramrod rights and body punches, if Molina can buzz this guy hard Pulev stops him, possibly on accumulation.

Takam is superior to Chisora but what does he do so well Pulev has to worry and is taken out of his comfort zone, Pulev will not struggle versus guys like Whyte, Chisora and Takam because he's infinitely more skilled, he has an extensive amateur career littered with wins over the likes of super skilled Solis who was not the human hamburger he became after Vitali took his soul.

Pulev is a gatekeeper ? Ok, we'll end here...

There are not many HWs who have not been knockdown it their careers at one point. My memory is fading with age but Dom Guinn & Oliver McCall are the 2 guys that come to mind. Tua only once officially but another unofficially in the Rahman rematch. Wilder won a bronze medal so he was no dud as an amateur. I think Pulev has a lot going for him in a fight with Wilder but no one can prepare for his power. If Pulev doesn't see a punch coming it's lights out. That is what makes Wilder dangerous. I think Wilder has a better chin than he gets credit for but he is vulnerable. One thing he has done is improved every fight. He is learning to use his physical advantages. He is tall & long. Pulev is a good fighter but his lack of true power allows his opponents to hang around. The longer a fight goes the better chance a 1 punch KO artist can strike late. When a guy is fatigued his hands come down & his activity level drops. Wilder is always in great shape so his opportunity for a one punch knock out is there for 12 rounds. Pulev, Povetkin, Klitschko, Stiverne, Ortiz are all on the wrong side of 35... It will be tough to knock off Parker, Fury, Joshua & Wilder.
