hasnt looked any better. we just know now that hes not really a puncher even though the josh fight maybe made it seem that way. he is top 15 buts thats on the division.

Don't really know why you'd want one. It was the Anthony Joshua show the whole time. He was gonna smach Pulev, He's likely gonna smach Takam.
Takam is right there with Pulev in terms of legitimacy as a contender, and given the short notice angle he could potentially be an even bigger problem for Joshua than he would be otherwise.
Short notice opponents have a history of giving big names hell in Boxing. Because you'd been preparing for a different guy most of your camp, and then last minute you're facing a different style.

Pulev has only ever lost to Wlad.
Takam has lost to Parker, Povetkin and Gregory Tony also drawn with Mike Perez.
Pulev is a stiffer test for AJ than Takam...

I agree, but only ever so slightly, and the end result was gonna be the same either way. It's the Anthony Joshua show.
pulev may be better than takam but he was even an easier match up for joshua. not a puncher, chin straight up, nearly got kod in one by wlad and not particularly durable. takam takes a good shot and will prob be moving joshua back more. if josh has stamina problems takam better suited to bring them out, though admittedly aj should win easily; but that's true against pretty much everyone.
for two weeks takam very good. you cant judge by same standards as fight made months ahead

I agree with this, Takam for all his limitations may go a good few rounds where I'm not sure Pulev would have lasted 5 minutes.
I think Takam is a preferable opponent, we may get more of a contest. According to what I just read on the Beeb Takam had been in camp on standby anyway, were there suspicions that Pulev was going to pull out of the fight?
Gutted Pulev is out, not that I was looking forward to this fight, I just want it out of the way, it will happen in 2018 no doubt, Takam is a solid opponent, equally as uninspiring as Pulev
95% of people going to Cardiff have no clue who Pulev is let alone Takam so they probably shouldn't get their knickers in a twist

You don't lose one fight due to a failed Drug Test, and then pick up a bigger one as a result of said failed drug test. Doesn't work that way.
Ortiz didn't fail a drug test, despite I have to admit Eddy Hearn is very scared of Ortiz.

This satisfies his mandatory. Hearn did a fantastic job here.
Not any time recently, and Eddy Hearn indeed seems to be the coward that ignores Ortiz, as expected.
If Ortiz doesn't want to be ignored he needs to stop doing PEDs. Like Wilder, his first few years weren't fighting the best of the best either, and he had a much better amateur pedigree.
Is Eddy Hearn now part of the Axis of Evil w/ Wilder and Wilder's promoter?
