Hearn has been saying that Pulev is not interesting in fighting Joshua, but i'm wondering why is he hesitant to do so? The guy stepped in the ring with Wlad so surely he's not scared of anyone.

Why would Pulev not take title shot against Joshua?

Either:
1 - He was lowballed
2 - He has overvalued himself
3 - They are mugging him off in other ways in negotiations
4 - He's scared
My bets on one of the first two

If you step in the ring with Wlad, you're not afraid of anyone. Number 4 is not even a possibility.

Dereck Chisora was supposed to be fighting Joshua, decided he was better off taking crap money to fight Pulev, and then proceeded to lose
Boxers and boxing managers are not always good decision makers

His style of standing square on with his hands at 45 degree angles doesn't work too well against brutal, rangy punchers. I'm sure he's aware of this.
