Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Expects Fireworks in Kubrat Pulev Clash

[AdonisCreed]

To be honest I don't think there is a heavy weight fighter that isn't flawed. I thought Wilder was the only one that was suspect but he has company. Don't get me wrong I like watching wilder fight but his defense is terrible he's one straight right away from seeing stars. AJ gases out in the middle rounds. I think its cool in a way because the division is their for the taking now that the Klitschko brothers reign has finally ended. The division would be more interesting if we can get the top guys to fight one another.

While Pulev is best described as Klitschko lite he's still a very good fighter consistently top 5-8ish and certainly a more than respectable win for any fighter and at least he has fought his way to a mandatory spot unlike a certain WBC joke of a #1 challenger

Another bum for joshua the cherrypicker on ppv.... Martin on ppv, molina on ppv, brazeale on ppv... Now this no name euro bum on ppv.... I wonder how ******ed american fan boys would react if wilder fought molina,washington and steverne on ppv....

Where do you clowns come from? I guess you say ****** things for attention. Have you ever heard of something called A MANDATORY???

If Mickey Mouse was his mandatory, he's obligated to fight him if he wants to keep his IBF strap.

LOL! And you have the nerve to call other people "******"

Funny that Pulev got a TKO victory against Derric Rossy in 2011...long before Stiverne got knocked down by Rossy

Fireworks? Get off the HGH man you're trippin.

Pulev has no head movement and no footwork. He's a sitting duck taylor made for your style.

The dud won't even last 3 rounds.

Ring magazine rankings

1. AJ
2 Wilder
3 Klitz (not updated yet)
4 Pulev
5 Ortiz

As long as its one of these guys or Parker its fine.

None of these guys literally none has looked good in their last fights (including Parker), all labored with opposition you'ed expect Joshua to put away in a few rounds.

If Fury was fit and well he'd be the best option but he's not at best way off if ever coming back.

Give Ortiz the shot! Pulev already had his, and got KTFO.

[etech1]

I got to admit, even though Ortiz is my favorite fighter, I think his ship has sailed. He sure looks like he is on the decline, based on his last fight.

I give him a COMPLETE pass for the M Scott fight though. Scott ran like a b i t c h for 12 rounds. He didn't come to fight, M Scott came to run. There should be a rule , to where if a fighter is JUST there to run and spoil the fight, 25% of his purse should be withheld.

Suspect chin? Well when any heavyweight hits you with a flush shot no matter your size, it's going to buzz you. You can say this just about any heavyweight fighter. PED use?? Never backed away from any testing, Never tested positive. Fighting inferior comp? Paluev EARNED this title shot. I hate how haters like you leave out the fact that Jashua IS OBLIGATED to fight him or get stripped.

Tell his stiff ass to fight Wilder. Ask for an exemption and unify the titles. He wanted to rematch a ****en 42 year old man in the states. Foh. He better not try to fight Pulev over here or he will be vilified.
