wlad44By Allan Fox: Former world champion Lennox Lewis was impressed with the ease of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s win over Kubrat Pulev (20-1, 11 KOs) last Saturday night in Hamburg, Germany.

Lewis says that Pulev was a mere bruiser, and that Wladimir needs to think about improving the level of his opposition. If it was up to Wladimir, he likely wouldn’t have taken the fight with Pulev, because it wasn’t a fight that he was all that excited about from the get go.

Wladimir Klitschko is 3 wins away from being worlds most dominant ever heavyweight

wladimir33by Gav Duthie: Once again Wladimir Klitschko 62-3 (52) will take on the #2 heavyweight in the world when he faces Kubrat Pulev 20-0 (11) tomorrow night. If he wins tomorrow and then a further two particular bouts against the Chisora-Fury winner on Nov 29 and whoever the WBC champion is by the summer next year he could hold a legitimate claim to being the most dominant heavyweight champion of all time. 

Competition

I want to distinguish that I see the likes of Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman as greater fighters on the all time greatest fighter list but in terms of pure heavyweight domination Klitschko is hard to rival.

Chisora’s trainer thinks Pulev could beat Wladimir

pulevBy Scott Gilfoid: Don Charles, the trainer for Dereck Chisora, believes that unbeaten #1 WBO Kubrut Pulev (20-0, 11 KOs) could pull off a huge upset this Saturday night when he gets in the ring against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (62-3, 52 KOs) in their fight at the O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Charles thinks the 6’4 ½” Pulev’s size, strength and intelligence will be keys to him beating the 6’6” Wladimir, who hasn’t lost a fight in a decade since his loss to Lamon Brewster in 2004. Charles points out that Pulev easily handled Alexander Ustimov several years ago in his 11th round knockout.
