Where does Pulev fit in AJ resume

[Kezzer]

So out of interest where would you rank Pulev ?

I’d go for 7th ; following ahead of him (although Takam probably similar level)

Klitschko
Povetkin
Parker
Ruiz (x2)
Whyte
Takam

Have him placed above Brezeale, Molina and Martin

[REDEEMER]

It’s a tricky one , he’s the type of guy to shut guys down of smaller stature . He’s also an example of how knockout percentages can be misleading due to his style but he has shown to be able to close the show when he feels he needs to like the Dinu fight where he felt threaten due to the cut and let his hands go .

I’m not so sure Povetkin beats him or Whyte ? I would have liked to see Pulev in top fights but beating up Hughie doesn’t really tell everything .

1. Klitschko
2. Povetkin
3. Pulev
4. Ruiz
5. Parker

Are my top 5 in title defense fights . People call it an easy fight but would it be for anyone else ? I’m guessing no. Either way it’s a stellar list on who’s currently relevant in the rankings in boxing minus Wlad ,no one has this resume not including Whyte who was not a title fight for any major belt . Pulevs a great name and was avoided by Fury in 2013 so let’s not act everyone was in a rush to fight him .

[Marchegiano]

1 Parker - Prime, undefeated, and current champion with successful defenses. Parker might not be hot **** anymore but when Joshua fought him he was one of the three and no one gave a **** about Fury. There are better fighters AJ has beaten but I do not think the timing and everything like that was ever so perfect for him.

2 Klitschko - The old champion was still probably the best HW of the era when Joshua fought him. People give Joshua **** for Wlad being old, and yeah he was, but that doesn't mean he was ****ty when Joshua fought him. If the ref had called it on Josh that **** would have been fair. Great fight, great win.

3 Whyte - They were both just a couple of new prospects trying to make a name. outside of 3D and JJ recently I can't think of any two top contenders who actually tested themselves against another young prospect looking to make a name. It was a dangerous fight to make at that stage in his career. Timing, risk, all that included this is a great win.

4 Breazeale - Same basic stuff, Dom might not be the best HW but he's a damn good one and considering he hadn't been beaten it was fair to assume he was a dangerous and risky fight. What I mean to say is just because we know Parker, Whyte, and Dom are who they are now doesn't mean we knew that then. These guys had fans, these guys had people believing in them, Joshua is who exposed them.

5 Martin - Sure, his title fights are comical and he's not done great since, but CM is still a champion, unbeaten, and prime when Joshua fought him and Josh handled him like he was nothing.

6 Ruiz - Prime unified champion and a solid revenge match. People give Joshua **** for using his feet but there's nothing wrong with boxing to a W. Andy is a top competitor who many feel beat Parker and could be called a x2 champion had the judges seen it that way but it's well known he wasn't in very good shape, ever, but even poorer shape for the rematch. If Ruiz didn't manage to get even fatter I'd have him higher

7 Pov - Povetkin's an old guy who has always been scared of challenges. Scared to fight Wlad in Wlad's prime, ducked for a decade. Scared to fight unbeaten fighters, he's only 2-1 there. Scared to fight fighter raising up the ranks. Scared to block fighters from title shots. Scared to take risks in title fights. Povetkin's career is him waiting prospects to challenge one another then fighting the loser and fighting the champion's last victim to maintain high ranking without being put into position to fight anyone unbeaten, rising, in the title picture, has a belt, or favored to beat him. He is very good so it's too bad he's such a ***** but I have a hard time giving Pov much credit for fighting leftovers damn near exclusively. Also, when he ducked Wlad it wasn't his fault, when he ducked Wilder it wasn't his fault, when he ducked Stiverne it wasn't his fault and it's not his fault he's ducking Whyte. Plus he was old when Josh beat him. Good win, not a great win. Pov's resume is a farce and the timing for the fight is post prime.

8 Pulev - Dude was a decent HW back in like 2012 or abouts but since then he's really not done much. His wins leading into Wlad hardly carry anymore. We'll see when he fight AJ if he has anything left. If he performs well I might bump him above Pov because he at least has one solid, risky, prime, contender victory in Ust and Pov has who? some leftovers.

9 Takam - Decent prime HW contender. About the best thing you can say about Takam too. He's a bit **** and was well exposed by the time Joshua fought him but at the same time at least he was more proven then some of the guys who were considered risky until Joshua made them look bummy.

10 Cornish - Kinda a hypejob who barely got anyone hyped. Prime and unbeaten though, Joshua exposed another fraud.

11 Skelton - Old journeyman really but Josh had just started when he fought Matt. I think that makes it a notable win. Not great but worth mention.

12 Molina - Among the worst of Joshua's notables, this is a guy who was a stand in when Wilder's scheduled opponent got popped for PEDs. He's only really notable for juxtaposition. A good win, Molina was considered a top ten back then, but Molina's not a very good fighter and never really did anything. Joshua just smacked the **** out of him.

13 Gavern - Same as Molina really just another step downward.

14 Leo - I respect debuting against an 8-0. Don't know **** about the guy, but, Joshua could have debuted against another debutante or an upside-down record. Joshua took on a guy with some experience and retired that fool. It's worth mention.



Really tried for 15 but no matter how you cut it Joshua just does not have 15 notable wins. 14 out of 23 is not too bad though.


**** you if you disagree, I don't give a ****

AJ has the worst resume. Almost as big of a joke as GGG

[TMLT87]

Wlad > Povetkin > Parker > Ruiz > Whyte > Pulev

[Earl-Hickey]

Wlad
Parker
Ruiz
Povetkin
Whyte
Pulev

I think people are gassed on Povetkin right now for chinning Whyte but me personally those bottom 3 are all interchangable

LOL the worst resume what? In the sport? At the weight? Who was your king Wilder fighting at that point in his career again? Lol you a funny girl.

Joshua possibly has the best resume in the division, certainly compared to his rivals after the same amount of fights he is light years ahead.

Think your fishing here... name a current heavy with a better list

[FinitoxDinamita]

Pulev is old news. I put him last

[Kezzer]

Wlad
Parker
Ruiz
Povetkin
Whyte
Pulev

Povetkin is a good fight however you look at it. His only losses are Klitschko and Joshua; and only KO against the latter

He has now beaten:
(Hughie) fury
Whyte
Hammer
Duhaupas
Wach
Takam
Charr

Not as strong as AJ resume by any means but it’s better than the likes of wilder and fury
