Thread: Chisora-Pulev - Euro title. Sky Sports. Saturday.

Chisora has always been a plodder but turned into a proper plodder after Haye ironed him. He turned down a fight with Joshua, for much more dough, so they say, to take this route (makes sense if you don't fancy being put to kip).

Any thoughts?

This is a good, competitive heavyweight matchup.

I'll definitely be watching.

Interesting fight, hard to know how Chisora will do as he looked so bad against Fury in the rematch and has been fighting cans since. He is the kind of fighter who tends to burn out quickly, so it could be that losing a step has made him dramatically less of a threat.

If he does win this a fight with AJ would probably be a little more interesting, and a little bit more of a payday for him.

I was really surprised to hear Martin got 6 million to fight Joshua(if that's anywhere near accurate). Obviously lots of it would have been for his trouble of bringing the trinket to AJ, but still a huge number. I don't think Chisora would be remotely afraid to get beat up for a fraction of that.

Suprised this is not box office.

If I am any good at judging fighters and fights then barring injury or something daft this will be a one sided fight

If I am rubbish at judging fighters and fights then barring injury or something daft chiz has a chance

I think Chisora deffinitly has a chance as ling as hes in better shape than recently.

Pulev I dont think likes to fight at a pace and if Chisora satys in his face and busy could easily out work him and may even hurt him.

The chiz from 5 years ago he myth have a chance, today's chiz has no chance

If Pulev is anywhere near decent, he wins this crock of shit of a fight.

Chisoras weght is down to the same as the Fury rematch and Pulev is heavier than the Klitschko fight. Will be interesting

I was quite high on Pulev a couple of years back (probably why he did not reach the very top, I am brilliant at picking the wrong heavyweight prospects), so it will be interesting to see if he has recovered from the thrashing by your man. Chisora is step or two slower nowadays (hardly Ali in pomp anyway), but is still someone who will beat a totally damaged name.

Pulev did take a beating from Wlad, but I think Kubrat has recovered, he'll get another title shot IMO. Chisora isn't even fodder for Joshua now, he's at a complete crossroads right now, it's win to be relevant or lose and just be a tomato can.
