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...
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?
Dimitrenko, Ustinov, Thompson or Chisora.
Takams best win? Thompson?
Joshua victory, with barely a shadow of doubt to argue it.
The reason I say this is the lateness that this has been announced, Has Takam been training ? if not he's been given less then 2 weeks to prepare for (arguably) the best heavyweight in the division right now.
I'm not saying Takam isn't a good boxer, he's fought and won twice already this year so well done and well fought to the man but short notice is short notice, I see Joshua winning this before the middle rounds.

That's not exactly a who's who. I guess chisora would be the best either has beaten. Takam being competetive with povetkin & Parker would lead me to favor him over chisora. You're really making my point for me. It never was that takam was the more 'deserving' Challenger. Just that I find the fight more interesting.
ya, and i mean its stupid to moan that pulev is better than takam when one fight was made months ahead of time and the other made with two weeks only as a sub for the fight ppl are moaning about not happening

Joshua & Wilder are the only Heavyweights that really interest me. Joshua because I think he's the best since Lewis and Wilder because a Ko can happen at anytime for either guy. If Pulev was supposed to fight anyone else I couldn't care less. Maybe that's why this doesn't change it for me at all.
Canny move by Hearn, retaining this Takam on standby, because Pulev was complaining from the off he didn't have enough time, so now he can put Josh in with a complete non puncher, much smaller and absolutely no threat at all. And it's still PPV.

He never wanted the fight.
German based fighters never want to come over here. Going back to Denis Lebedev pulling out of a vacant title fight with Carl Froch in Nottingham. Did anyone think Pulev would go through with it?
