    Can Pulev derail a AJ v Fury match?

    Can Pulev disrupt a AJ v Fury fight?

    He is the underdog against AJ, but perhaps Pulev is being severely underrated as a risk that can jeopardise the mega fight.

    Pulev isn’t in the same class as AJ and will probably get dominated.

    But Pulev has enough amateur experience and a heavyweight punch that it is possible.

    It reminds me a lot of Joshua-Ruiz 1 to be honest. I’m picking Joshua by KO but he doesn’t have a great chin and it’s always vulnerable because of that.

      I think he stands a decent chance at upsetting. Especially because AJ may easily overlook him.

        Pulev will get destroyed by AJ.

          I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, before the Ruiz fight people, would’ve put him and Pulev around a similar level.

          Also I’m still not massively convinced about Joshua if he gets hit, he looked petrified the few times Ruiz got close in the rematch. If Pulev could find a way to get near him, who knows, but in reality I think Joshua probably stops him within five rounds.

          I don’t think it will take a great fighter to stop Joshua again, Just a good fighter on a good night, but Pulev probably isn’t the guy

            No one has really even mentioned this mandatory. AJ should win but Pulev isn’t a poor level fighter

              AJ does appear to wobble easy when hit, is he hiding a glass chin

                It's possible but I don't think it's that likely, Pulev is like 40 now. I won't be surprised if he wobbles AJ or something though as that seems to happen in every AJ fight these days, he probably just won't be able to capitalize on it, I don't think he's a great finisher

                  Pulev is a good long range boxer, maybe a better long range boxer than AJ. This could be a very different fight to the one most people expect.

                    All the distractions with fury and the racism thing pulev could win but I wouldn't bet on it
