Comments Thread For: Joshua: Pulev Will Be a Good Fight To Indicate Where I'm At

[PRINCEKOOL]

Fury's December 5th opponent is Kayabal? Whos best win is Derek Chisora right? So how is he so much worse than Pulev who's best win is....Derek Chisora?

Pulev overall is a better fighter than Kayabal, he has had a better career to date 'Pulev beat a more motivated Chisora'.

Rexy? Joshua is held to a higher standard, you know this 'Everyone knows this etc'.

Joshua should blast him out, and probably will, after Pulev continues to force him into exchanges. Wlad KO'd Pulev because Pulev kept forcing Wlad to fight or get punched (something Wlad always detested ... getting hit).

For my own entertainment I'm placing $100 US on Pulev, just in case AJ's nerves keep him too tight to fight. Pulev will force the action if Joshua is passive. Against the best that usually gets Pulev hammered, but we will see ...

A.J can actually work behind a jab and throw more then 2 punches at a time . Pulev wouldn’t think much of Wilders skills and Pulev out of the top ten guys could potentially shut Wilder down with his jab . This is for mega money as well, this isn’t a Wilder fight ,there’s so much more one gets should they defeat A.J so nothing but focused guys have come at him , Ruiz found out a win over AJ gets you world recognition which gets you more money offers ,should Pulev win he’s in the same boat ..

It isn't all abut AJ, the recognition comes from holding the belts. Ruiz would have gotten world recognition beating ANYONE who held the belts. Turned out it was a "careless" AJ. LoL!

I’m not saying I agree, but I think it’s reference to the fact that Wlad literally didn’t throw any punches in the Fury fight and looked completely listless, whereas he seemed very dialled on in the AJ fight.

People forget that almost all the talk after that fight was about what Wlad didn’t do, rather than what Fury did do, which also wasn’t a lot. But one could argue that this was down to Fury, whose size and awkwardness potentially threw Klitschko off.

I personally feel that Wlad’s performance against Fury was an aberration, and that he would have done far better in a rematch. Unfortunately we never got to find out as Fury got suspended one month before the proposed rematch, which was hidden from public, and then coincidentally went on a 2 year hiatus (the standard length for a UKAD drug’s ban) and used the convenient umbrella of ‘depression’.

Wlad was scared of Fury. He was scared of most boxers who were bigger and stronger than he was (he didn't run into many). Wlad would've never gotten in a ring with Lennox Lewis, like his brother did. His brother didn't have the fear Wlad did ...

You must be new to boxing then because A.J was the most popular boxer around . Fury defeated Wilder and didnt make world news or some big deal happening but Ruiz won and you would have thought the guy was the new Elvis . If you weren’t new to boxing then you would know odds make a fight Percy to being a wow factor ,Ruiz was considered the second biggest upset in boxing so how is it the same for other fighters ?

You aren't in a good spot if the fight with Pulev is a measure of where you're at. This fight will only be worth mentioning if Joshua KOs Pulev fast than Wilder KO'ed Breazeale or Tyson KO'ed Berbick or Spinks.

Where Joshua is at will be measured when he fights Fury or Wilder.

[SN!PER]

This man may be holding belts, but he doesn't have the mentality of a champion.

Your low-brow insults (new to boxing) are typical of pathetic fan-girls. Ruiz's upset was on par with Rahman over Lewis, etc. It did crown the first Mexican HW Champ though. Beyond that it just exposed the former champ ... it's big news, but on par with other exposed champs, chump.

Pathetic paper champ fights a 40 year old once a year. Or a morbidly obese, cruiser weight who forgot to train. This is why boxing is dying.

Definitely worth a bet. Only takes 1 punch and AJ crumbles, we know how weak his chin is.
