Fair analysis bob but does Pulev has Andy’s chin?

[Larry the boss]

Pulev is old and slow

[NORMNEALON]

Neither pulev or ruiz are big punchers. And kubrat is getting old and hasnt really ever done anything but beat an old Thompson and have a close win over chisora that alot of people thought he lost . Now that's more than Andy had done in the pro ranks before his first fight with joshua , but pulev is just not that good and joshua will likely stop him within 6 rounds . I would pick andy to beat pulev if he came in shape but I bet the odds would be about even . I didnt give ruiz ( joshua 1 ) or pulev now a reasonable chance to KO joshua . I mean I know he can be caught and stopped since ruiz 1 ,so I know pulev has some sort of chance to stop him but I wouldn't be at a loss for words if he did . all that being said I do not see it happening . Bob says some crazy **** when hes promoting fighters , ridiculous even .

Pulev will definitely face the stadium light.
Its light out.

Joshua's chin

I totally disagree with Arum on this. He's just trying to build up his fighter. Joshua proved with two of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division Klitchko and Dillian Whyte that he could be hurt and come back. Klitchko hurt AJ and floored him but AJ came back and finished him. Whyte also caught Joshua a couple of times with good shots but by the end of the fight Whyte was lying over the bottom rope unconscious. Just check it out on YouTube any time. Andy Ruiz caught AJ with a shot to the head that concussed him and he was unable to regain his equilibrium or his legs. That can happen to any heavyweight from any heavyweight with the right shot. Of the top heavyweights Joshua has fought the best competition adding when he took Martin's belt ko'ing him and beating Parker , Pulev and Ruiz as well. Wilder and Fury haven't fought any of these fighters and have only each other and in Fury's case Klitchko on their resume. Fury never hurt Klitchko and in a very boring fight just managed to elude him , evade him for twelve rounds. The fights can be found on YouTube so just check it out. The Ruiz fight for Joshua was an aberration but he will still have to get over that KO mentally moving forward because boxing in the style he did with Ruiz in the second fight won't work with some of the other heavyweights out there. He has to go back to the guy he was before that loss . Had he done that in Ruiz ll he would have knocked Andy out.

In 29 fights, Pulev has a 48% stoppage percentage. But going back to 2015, 8 fights, it’s only 25%. If you just go from 2016 through 2019, 6 fights, only around 17%. As far as Pulev’s chin, he was knocked out for a 10 count against Wladimir and some guy named Joey Abell dropped him in 2013 although Pulev won that fight. I don’t believe Pulev poses a threat to Joshua in this fight but ANY HW can be knocked out by another HW.

Pulev really ain't bad, but stylistically he's the complete opposite of Ruiz and the type of fighter AJ has a field day with. Pulev is getting bombed out like he did against Wlad

Klitschko sure, but never refer to Dillian Whyte as one of the divisions biggest punchers again

Pulev should cut all connections to human toilet arum.
