So Joshua is going back to fighting Euro bums

[Mooshashi]

Pulev is a reasonable opponent. And a mandatory. Get him out of the way then fight Usyk or the winner of Wilder-Fury II.
And let's stop with the Ruiz III nonsense. NO ONE wants that fight...

Because there is no need to make trilogies out of Ruizes and Ortizes. Simple as that. We need fresh blood.

Nothing says “fresh blood” like a guy who lost to Wlad early last decade.

[Kezzer]

Pulev is mandatory otherwise I’m sure would be no where near getting a shot?

he lost to wlad in november of 2014. thats early last decade?

[Toffee]

What sort of ret arded thread is this. Pulev is an actual, proper mandatory. Not a WBC one, an actual, real, proper one.

And who on earth wants to see fat Andy trundle around after Joshua again?

You mean Pulev ? I told many times that Pulev should be out. Together with various cheats as Whytes and Povetkins. We need fresh clean blood.

[Chrismart]

He's mandatory. He's got to fight him if he wants to keep his belt.

If Fury and Wilder are to fight for a third time this year, Joshua would be sat on the side-lines along time if he just waited for the winner next.

I agree 100% just found it funny that a 39 year old Pulev would be considered "fresh blood"

European fighters have been dominating the heavyweight scene for the last 25 years.

The phrase now is Amero-Bums

[Inspired]

Pulev isn't a bum though, the only fight he ever lost was to Wladmir Klitschko. He beat Chisora, Hughie Fury, which puts him on the same level as the likes of Dillian Whyte and Parker.

it's also a mandatory fight.

This is why boxing has suffered in the US in recent times, too many dumb americans.
