would be a decent fight i must say

Uh..... what happened to Pulev being the mandatory? Did he just get dropped from the rankings because he got hurt?

[alexjust]

Hard to disagree...why risk payday and health for no good reason? Povetkin doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. Well, except that he's clean

Everyone wants to milk joshua for their biggest ever paycheck. Get in line wilder, your milkings gonna have to wait.

How's Wilder milking? Can you explain? He's a world champ BTW. You know the best fighting the best?

LOL this old get everyone who might beat Joshua to fight Whyte gag is just not working like Hearn thought it would obviously. Plus now he's maybe fighting for a mandatory for Joshua, vs Pulev. LMFAO.

Honestly Hearn deserved this bs to all go down with this Whyte pushing bs.

Yeah, when he lashed out at Wilder for not coming to the fight, after specifically mandating that Wilder couldn't come into the ring to faceoff with Joshua, made it painfully clear he was planning on having Whyte pull some Shannon Briggs **** and get in Wilder's face to try and hype that up and take the pressure off of Joshua.

Eddie only matching fighters with AJ who fight scared, like AJ does. Povetkin like Wilder don't fight scared, won't get the opportunity....Eddie knows he gotta sissy in AJ!!

The IBF has a nonsense rule where if the mando gets injured and can't fight he completely loses his position. This week though Pulev has been offered another eliminator against Whyte.
