But like noted I hope Joshua is brave enough to fight the best in their primes and not when over the hill.
I still feel these special nights when the best heavyweights are fighting each other in their primes eg Fury /Wilder no other sport can beat and it represents sport in its finest and truest.Man against man fighting it out to see who is the toughest and best fighter there is on this earth.

I know Arum is just talking as a promoter but I've seen a surprising number of people thinking Pulev could take him out. I don't see it. Too slow, lacking explosive power. Everything Pulev does, AJ does better, other than chin.
Not saying Pulev isn't worthy, just that I'm not seeing any upset potential here. (yea, I said that about Ruiz too...)

Last fight I saw him fight was against Bogdan Dinu and he looked terrible. Struggled against Dinu and was leaking from a cut that didnt take much to open up.
If AJ loses this fight...there is no excuse.

"...the Klitschkos were good fighters,” Arum said. “But they didn’t resonate, particularly.”
I feel like that isn't true. I know a lot of people outside of boxing circles that at least know the name, and neither fighter had much of an American campaign. They made a lot of money too, and without the shameless self-promotion.
That aside, Ruiz beat Joshua, so on a good day anything is possible. Joshua on a good day probably stops Pulev though.

Pulev is tough and rugged with a decent 1,2. He can beat the Tony Thompsons, Highie Furys, Bogdan Dinus and sometimes even the Chisoras of the division. On top of that he is pretty old now. He was blasted out by Klitschko where he showed toughness alone. I can't imagine AJ would have any problem with him. Tyson Fury would outbox him and Wilder would starch him.

Originally posted by nick_viking View PostAgree with you there - Pulev is a much better style for Joshua than Ruiz. More upright, slower, taller. Joshua has been great at bashing up those types of fighters, whilst he’s struggled with smaller guys.
