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

[REDEEMER]

It will be a big statement if AJ can stop Pulev in 4 round or less , I don’t see anyone who can do that beyond Wilder landing on a careless Pulev .

HWs are the kings of boxing.

You can watch as many midgets as you like, but one slap off a HW and they'd be eating through a straw.

I'm just speaking facts denium. the HW's are the biggest p*ssies in boxing. I dont even remember flyweights or even the women crying as much.

If it wasnt for the 'Bronze-Bomber' Deontay Wilder, nobody in America would follow this awful weight class ; just look at the numbers in Deontay Wilder threads, the numbers dont lie. Like I told you before, we dont care about A.J or Phooey, DEAL WITH IT.

You are passively complaining.

Pulev would be Tyson Fury third best win, if he would of faced him and beat him etc

Did you complain about Tyson Fury's supposed December 5th opponent? No, because you have a agenda.

I am just calling the situation, exactly how it is? Anthony Joshua has a better overall resume than Tyson Fury 'And is held to a higher standard' You already know this deathofaclown, everyone know's this.

I am neutral on both fighters, just reporting on the landscape.

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?

He's right, this is a good fight to see where he's at mentally. He did what was needed to get the win in the rematch with Ruiz but it was a negative performance. I'm expecting him to take the initiative more against Pulev and try to end it in style.

To be fair AJ had a good solid ko win against Dillian Whyte when he was still undefeated And also the wlad he fought was much better than the one who lost to fury but AJ lost to a little butterbean and fury is a drug cheat who feigned mental illness as a smokescreen. The jury is still out on both fighters. They need to fight each other ASAP

How can the version of Wlad who just beat Christian Hammer a few months before be inferior to the one coming off a loss and 16 months out of action???

Kabayel can’t punch and is a timid fighter ,he got lucky against an out of shape Chisora and got the nod on a SD .

Pulev handled an in shape Chisora easily and smothered him in his SD win which really wasn’t that close .

Pulev s a big unit standing 6”5 and 250 with a great jab and amateur pedigree who is physically stronger ,it’s clear what fighter is more dangerous to who and who’s been in the ring and around elite fighters more .

Kabayel vs Fury is a joke in comparison . If Fury thought Pulev was an easy fight he would have fought his final elimination bout with him for Klitschko in 2013 . It’s easy to say you can defeat a fighter but just because Wlad did it doesn’t mean others could .

If Joshua stops Pulev then before we get carried away how will we know it wasn't a 'careless Pulev'?

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 ..

I much, MUCH prefer watching heavyweights too but its massively dissapointing how few times any of them fight and how few any seem to be willing to engage with other top talent. This is why I have a strong feeling at least half of the top 10 dont belong in it. I consider the most exciting/talented guys in the division to Joshua/Fury/Wilder/Hrgovic/Joyce/Dubois (yes, still)/Yoka/Usyk. That's a ton of stellar talent...and yet barely any of them have actually fought each other. Thats pretty dire. Compare this to Welter and guys like Spence whose tuneups would be talked about as ATG accomplishments if they were being performed by the current crop.

And yes, I lay this squarely at the feet of British boxing and our willingness to coddle top talent. People claim its the Mayweather effect but Mayweather's resume is insane. He had his seminal fight with De LaHoya when he was 29.

If was aj id take a tentative approach til rd 8 just outbox and point and then 9-12 turn up the speed and offense looking for a highlight real ko to boost hype for fury match
