Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Why He's Confident Pulev Will Beat Joshua

[Jkp]

Pulev's best win is a SD over Delboy. Nice try Arum..

There is only 9 other fighters who have beaten chisora. So that's a great achievement.

Aj loves fighting the oldest fattest fighters he can find

It's a really dumb statement

"I think Pulev will beat Joshua because Ruiz did and he's not a big puncher"

Ummmm

You got anything a bit more technical than that, Bob?

[Earl-Hickey]

are there people who can't live with it? The fact is, they're 1-1 against each other. Ruiz won by stoppage and made Aj quit, while Aj won by an overly cautious super boring 12 round decision. I think the denial comes from Aj fans who want to pretend like the ko didn't happen and pretend as he avenged himself in a similar impressive fashion to how Lewis did vs rahman. His revenge was pretty weak in comparison to how he got beat imo.

It was not an overly impressive performance but who has the belts, who is top 2 in the division and who's looking at an undisputed fight in the next 6 months?

Ruiz can claim a "moral victory" because his win was the better of the 2 but what good is that when he's toiling in obscurity now?

I've read Bob said Hearn insisted on a rematch agreement for Pulevs mandatory fight?
I thought that was illegal for a mandatory?
If it's true it shows the filth eddie & aj are & that heavyweight boxing is absolutely not a sport any more.
How's it got this bad?

Can anyone confirm this?

You can't have a rematch clause in the contract when it comes to a mandatory. However, you can pay extra money to the mandatory in the same way Wlad did with Fury to have one put in if the fighter agrees.

Pulev would have had to agree.

Hope this clears it up for you.

it's not a moral victory, it was an actual victory to beat him lmaoo. End of they're day, they're 1-1 vs each other and despite belts, Aj has a ko quit job on his record.

Yes, Joshua's performance was not 100% conclusive.

Hasim Rahman was prepared, and had zero excuses. Lennox Lewis fought him as if the first fight did not occur 'Just look at the conviction in Lewis's behavior during the second fight'.

Joshua fought Ruiz Junior, with the first fight constantly in the back of his mind 'He was still clearly traumatized by the first fight'.

Anthony Joshua won the fight, but he did not Slay the Dragon 'Joshua is still in a rebuilding process, he is not the same fighter or person he was before Ruiz Junior I'.

Since Ruiz Junior I, he has changed his entire training philosophy 'He doubted himself and his methods, I don't always think this is a good thing for a champion'.

Lennox Lewis even though he was beaten, did not really doubt himself or his method's 'He knew even though he lost, he was the better fighter'.

The media continually tried to make comparison between Lewis & Joshua 'But both defeats where entirely different, Joshua is still suffering'

The rebuilding process continues against Pulev.

You can't fault his logic
