    Default It's time to pay attention to kubrat pulev!

    The HW division is recharging. Some may factor into the Klitschko legacy. Others will stand ready to fill the void. It's time to pay attention to kubrat pulev! I really lilke this guy and i think he is one (Not the only one mind!) to watch! Pulev IMO is a solid bet to continue the success of eastern european HW's upon klitschko retirement!

    He stands just a shade under 6’5. He’s in shape at around 250 lbs. He has a record of 17-0. Obviously the division will become much more competitive post klitschko and i think a new linear champ is a long way off but something tell's me pulev will be a major player post klitschko. What are your thought's on him?

    He looks better than Povetkin. He seems to have bottle and a very accurate and effective jab but Saturdays limited opponent may have exaggerated that. He is a much better boxer than the eyesore that is Huck and has way better stamina than Povetkin. He would probably beat Helenius and that would be a good match but I think he should fight Chisora as should Povetkin so that their potential is really tested.

    Still a fighter learning his craft too...

    Would a crack at the winner of Solis-Adamek be too early for him? David Price would be a good too.

    Does anyone like huck? LOL. Personally i enjoy his fight's.

    Pulev seems like he'll be somewhat decent, but he's still miles behind Wlad & Vitali. Let's see Kubrat get shook up one good time by a power puncher then we'll judge him.

    Because Wlad clearly passes that test with flying colors I thought Pulev looked promising for sure, a guy that size with a good jab who can fight 12 rounds is well ahead of most young HWs out there.

    I like him but only seen him twice. Fights relaxed, punches from all angles and steps in and turns it up. Hopefully he'll get more exposure.

    Pulev looked good against a dangerous big lug, but that guy was slowwww as well.

    I think Pulev looks like top 10 material, but nothing to indicate future dominance as of yet.

    Put him against Kevin Johnson in a battle of the jabs
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    I'll refer you to Wlad's past....it's not about hitting Wlad it's about surviving what Wlad throws at you and all 3 of the guys that beat Wlad would agree with that assessment. Corrie Sanders (R.I.P) took some shots when he was swinging for the fences too.

    Pulev is not a threat unless he's either got an air tight defense or can take a punch....if he can't do that he's not going to be able to compete with Wlad.

    Thought he looked really promising saturday night, nice to see a heavyweight turn up fit and well trained, one to keep an eye on.

    That first fight might happen, the other one will not. I'd like to see both.

    I'd like for Haye to just stay retired because he's not a serious boxer

    Haye might be a bit of a circus act but his fights are usually good
    He has some dig
