Where does Pulev fit in AJ resume

[Earl-Hickey]

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

Yeah I just think his best days are behind him in spite of the Whyte win

I can easily see him losing the rematch to Whyte and him vs Pulev is a 50/50 for me.

I definatley don't think he beats Parker or Ruiz, maybe in 2010 he could have but not recently.

He's older than David Haye which puts him into perspective.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Klitschko is the best Joshua`s win, than Parker, Ruiz, Povetkin, Whyte

Pulev would be N. 6. I rate him higher than Martin and Breazeale still.

[deathofaclown]

I’d have him above Whyte

Whyte and AJ fought at domestic level but Whyte wasn’t even ready for a British title shot at the time, so I don’t think that should be included.


Pulev is probably on par with Parker as an opponent. I’d have them behind the Wlad and Povetkin fights. Parker had a decent close win over Ruiz, but never looked impressive in any other fights and even lost to Whyte.

Wlad > Povetkin > Parker > Ruiz > Whyte > Pulev

So the only guy to beat AJ and then make him run is ranked #4??? What logic is that???

Lol how can you say Povetkin has a better resume then Fury

Fury beat one of the guys Povetkin lost to. Beat Wilder too.

He stopped Hammer, even though Povetkin couldn’t.

You included Takam, even though Chisora stopped him, yet Fury stopped Chisora.

The likes of Cunningham are no worse than Wach etc, probably better.


Fury doesn’t lose his big fights too, Povetkin does. That’s what matters..

Probably around where Takam fits TBH.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Pulev would be Wilder`s best win, to be honest. I believe he is better than Ortiz ever was.

[Dr. Z]

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

The tricky part is WHEH AJ fought them.

Povetkin was certainly better than Parker, but he was 39 years old when he fought Joshua.

Pulev is better than Whyte but he is also 39 years old. These two are left over Wlad opponents.

The logic is he was a relative nobody who came in as a late replacement and had one Buster Douglas-esque night against an opponent that looked past him, then lost almost every round of the rematch a few months later. Nobody was looking at Ruiz as some big important fight for Joshua going in, and the rematch was seen more as AJ righting a wrong rather than some career defining win.

And AJ asked for an abnormally huge ring. And when they did engage AJ said No Mas.

Whatever have Ruiz ranked the worst HW of all time. It's your ranking... Makes zero sense.
