lol that was quick.

[rd350lc]

Ffs , suppose it's saved the show

[jamamb]

ppl slagging off hearn, saying rather have whyte. takam better fighter than whyte imo. though i understand more demand for better known local guy. think really good opponent for such short notice.

I'm with ya. Takam's a better, and more interesting opponent than Whyte for my money as well.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

This is more interesting than pulev.

Takams a dud, hes coming over to fill a spot and lose.
Suppose it gets AJs IBF mandatory commitment out of the way...

[jamamb]

not a dud at all. was even with fully roided pedvetkin till stopped. not at aj level but tough second tier guy. your not going to get wilder on two weeks.

[Boxerbeetle]

Decent replacement at short notice. Takam has virtually the same chance to win as Pulev imo (i.e. virtually none).

agree. think hes more durable though and will be able to take shots longer before getting kod.

No it's not, Pulev would ruin Takam.

this.
Pulev only ever lost to Wlad.
Takam has losses to Parker, Povetkin and Gregory Tony and a draw with Mike Perez.
Pulev beats Takam and is a stiffer test for AJ...

[gilgamesh]

Based on what?

Pulev doesn't ruin anyone.

time for a WHO WINS? Pulev vs. Takam thread or what?

Hell no. People complain to me about how many of those you make as it is

[jamamb]

pulev prob wouldve been ko'd by roided up pedvetkin. takam clearly deserved win against perez. loss to tony was early in his career.

takam-pulev would be a super competitively matched fight.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Kubrat may well beat takam, that doesn't mean he's a better opponent for aj. Certainly doesn't make it more interesting to me.

i'll swerve it on this occasion then to save you anymore headaches
Pulev does beat Takam if they were to ever meet imo...

[wesshaw1985]

takam-pulev would be a super competitively matched fight.

if you HAD to pick one which way would you go?

[jamamb]

Kubrat may well beat takam, that doesn't mean he's a better opponent for aj. Certainly doesn't make it more interesting to me.

agree. pulev is tailor made to be slaughtered by aj. no power to get respect, chin up, doesnt take a shot well. takam is more durable and will prob be backing aj up more.

lean pulev. not saying takam better fighter. but i think they've on similar level and takam has style to make for better fight. hes very good replacement at this notice. has been hovering around top 10-15 for years and isnt some late scrub.

Lol, so whom they've lost too is the measuring stick? All that shows is takam has been in with a better quality than pulev has beaten. Is his best win that oaf Ustinov?

[jamamb]

but pulev beat tony thompson!

oh but wait takam did too. nearly shut him out.

Yes, the only chance either has is sheer exhaustion. Takam is more equipped to get there.
