They were talking about Fury vs Pulev and now it has turned into Fury-Miller. When will Pulev get a shot at any belt?
Well he already got a shot at Joshua which he had to pass up on account of injury. Replaced by Takam as you know.
He is now the official mandatory again and probably would have been Joshua's next defence if AJ hadn't let Andy Ruiz tear up the script. Either way Pulev won't be waiting too long - you know what the IBF are like.
I'd save your sympathy for Dillian Whyte who will probably make the Guiness Book of Records for being the number one contender (WBC) for the longest time without being granted a title shot.
Pulev strikes me as being expert in picking opponents that are at least semi-respectable and relevant, yet unlikely to cause him too many problems. When was the last time Pulev was involved in a tough fight (other than having a bad cut thus needing a quick stoppage) or fought anyone sufficiently good to test whether he is still worthy of his high ranking?
