Comments Thread For: Pulev Says Contract is Signed, Expects To Face Joshua on December 12

Another 40 year old for AJ's CV.

Not hard to see why AJ/Eddie wont fight anyone in there prime again after the way Ruiz humiliated him during AJ's "taking over america" fight.

You do realise he's mandatory, right?

Besides, Pulev is better than all but one opponent on Wilder's record and better than, arguably, all but two opponents on Fury's record...so...yea stay bitter lol

Here we go this is bound to get Wilder out of the shadows sooner then later ,now when Fury gets an opponent he will claim everyone ducked him . Ha

Your King is back! And they all ducking him AGAIN!

Mando means nothing. There's at least 4 mandos aj could choose. And there's plenty of ways to get out of fighting mandos.

Unification trumps mandos

[Laligalaliga]

He obviously does care, all he does is get on here and cry about AJ

And he does that virtually all the time just like a cry baby.

No, there's currently only two mandatories, those that have been ordered, and no, he doesn't get to choose. The IBF mandatory had been due longer than the WBO, which is why we're seeing AJ vs. Pulev and not Usyk. And a unification only trumps a mandatory if the concerning sanctioning body agrees to it. If they don't, then it either doesn't happen or the champion loses the title.

Let's just say the IBF and WBO hadn't ordered their mandatories, who was he supposed to unify against? Fury was, as of the end of February, contractually obligated to face Wilder.

This is a prime example of how fangirl and/or hater mentalities blind people from all logic lol

This will go the distance and be close.

I so much hope that pulev could land a solid punch to the jumping aj!

it would be hilarious 😂

might happen. he already lost to a guy who is basically butterbean
but without power.

Pulev would have been decent opponent a decade ago.

I don't care about fury. Not sure why bring him up.

AJ has plenty of leverage and can fight anyone he wants. If he really wants to.

I bring Fury up as well as Wilder because it's relevant. They're two of the three top ranked heavyweights, and Pulev is a better opponent than most of the guys on their records. Again, just look at the abysmal opponents Wilder faced in voluntary defences lol

No, he can't. It's really simple; if AJ chose not to fight either of his mandatories in favour of facing Fury for undisputed (even though it was impossible) he would have been stripped of at least one of the titles, if not both. And then it wouldn't have been an undisputed fight. He has no leverage when two sanctioning bodies order their mandatories at the same time. He has to face one under the agreement that he faces the other one next.
