I'd have Pulev ahead of Parker at this stage, but Stiverne should not even be rated top 10 right now. Not saying Valuev was top 5 but some guys on here had him rated from #4 to #7 so Masters claim of top 5 is not totally out of left field:

Is anyone interested in this fight? We all know AJ will win easily and early.
Now people might stop criticising Wlad for some shit fights. When you hold multiple belts, you're always gonna have some crappy mandatories to deal with. I think it could've been way worse than Pulev though I have to say. He's not that terrible.Quote:

Yeah, that and the Byrd return were probably his best performances. The Chagev one was a special night too and the Peter rematch... he had a number of great nights. I’m not blaming Joshua but I’m just not excited for this fightQuote:

This is not a crap defence at all... Pulev is pretty handy, he fought stupid against wladimir and paid for it, apart from that he beat ustinov and Thompson pretty easily, Thompson was well past it though. He handled chisora very easily too and whilst chisora is not that great he is still a good fighter.. I think pulev will be kod though as he doesn't have the power but it's not Joshua's fault he is so much stronger than his opponents.... Pulev knows how to fight rough /semi dirty too if he survives an early assault he could cause Joshua some issues.
Deontay Wilder slams Anthony Joshua ahead of potential heavyweight showdown next year
Deontay Wilder has launched another scathing attack on heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua after the Brit indicated that a unification showdown in 2018 was inevitable.
The WBC champion, who defends his title against Bermane Stiverne next month, had previously posted a video on Twitter last week claiming that Joshua wasn't 'physically, mentally or emotionally ready' to face him despite the 2012 Olympic gold medallist defeating legendary heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko in a classic fight at Wembley in April.
Joshua responded to Wilder's claims by suggesting the pair could share a ring next year after his own title defence against Kubrat Pulev later this month, which the American has taken offence to.
He took to Twitter again and wrote: "Bro what the f*** Anthony Joshua? You going to soon be ramming your jab down my throat?! To be honest that don't sound too good unless it's some next level ish.
"I guess I'll have to son you and teach you how a champion supposed to talk - so when they hear you, they shall also feel you.
"Next time I'd rather hear how you gonna knock my a** out."
His latest tirade came just days after he called out Joshua, saying "make the m***********g fight".
The 31-year-old had been scheduled to fight Luis Ortiz next month, only for the Cuban to withdraw from the fight after failing a drugs test.
Joshua's comments that prompted Wilder's reponse came when asked about his next potential bout after he takes on Pulev in Cardiff on October 28, and he sounded out the American and fellow Brit David Haye as possible opponents.
He told Sky: "All these guys talk about me and it's always negative, but sooner or later I'll be ramming my jab down their throats.
"It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when when it comes to the likes of David Haye and Deontay Wilder because there has been no era of boxing where heavyweights haven't come together.
"We have to fight each other and that's just the way it's going to go."

I read this morning that AJ is getting £20,000,000 For this fight, that's fucking crazy money, if that's true then fair play to him, I'd guess that 20 mill for fighting Pulev makes him the official money man of the sport now, is there anyone else who would get that sort of wedge?
Again only if that figure is true
Which may mean he can kick Eddie Hearn to the kerb as he does not need him any longer.Quote:

Whyte is shit and unless he’s fighting somebody in the top ten then I’m not interested. They’re charging £17 to see it in the cinema which isn’t bad.
