Wlad is running from Pulev he picked the Aussie for his next fight stop running wlad

I'm no Wlad fan but he aint ducking Pulev. Wlad has 3 mandatories and values his belts. As he's WBA Super Champion he has longer for mandatories but beating Povetkin just took care of the WBA. There is no purse bid for the IBF yet but there is for the WBO so if he wants to keep his title he has to fight Leapai next. It isn't a duck, he'll probably fight Pulev after that. I'm sure Pulev has to fight an elimanator first.

Good side for Pulev- he has GREAT movement and won't be clenched as much as Wlad's other opponents. The man really is a Cobra- he moves with the grace and skill of a Welter.

Bad side for Pulev- he doesn't have much pop. Wlad won't let you get off more than a two shot combo on him because he clenches and hugs like a sock-puppet.

Pulev's only way to win is to win on points... move in and out and box... don't get on the ropes, stay in the middle of the ring and move around the ring and pop in and out with one's and two's. And, if you have a chance throw more than two shots- which I doubt, because I don't think Wlad will allow him to throw in addition to the lack of power Pulev has- then go for it and move away quickly.

Really? Wlad is running from Pulev? What difference does it make whether he fights Pulev or Leapei? Both are massive underdogs.

The only boxer quacking his way around atm is Floyd Mayweather... Big time!

nothing, he fights pulev hell cuddle him for 12 rounds if he fights Leapei he'll cuddle him for 12 rounds

in fact if he fought my gran he would cuddle her for 12 rounds

Not arguing that. You'd be dead right there. I've just been discussing Wlad's holding. All the shorter guys that try to bull their way inside are cuddled. Wlad is better to watch against taller guys that give him a standup fight. Leapai and Pulev are both short, he will hug the shit out of them.

I would like to see Wladimir fight Chris Arreola, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder someone that will give him a proper punch up even if he does outclass them.

wlad would cuddle arreola

as the cuddle doesnt seem to work as well on the taller fighters it would be interesting to see what would happen if he came up against a decent tall fighter, i dont think he has yet

i dont think fury is good enough, he'd have a chance if he put it on him for the first couple of rounds, i think wlad would land too easy on him tho

i really dont know how good or bad wilder is its very hard to say, he would certainly have a punchers chance, again tho i believe he would need to start very fast and try and close it early

McCline 6'6 (KO), Pianetta 6'5 (TKO), Wach 6'7(UD and Wach was on roids), Thompson X2 6'6 (KO, KO), Austin 6'6 (KO), Jefferson 6'6 (KO)...he has an easier time with taller fighters if anything
