He always goes for the ko

He's a heavyweight

He's good looking

He speaks well and has charisma

People are comparing him to Prime Tyson

A strong heavyweight image and champion is priceless for boxing

I just hope there is enough competition to keep it interesting

Besides Klitschko and Povetkin, the landscape is pretty bleak. Pulev is a damn good fighter, but I don't think he's on AJs level.

Pulev is a good fight a good learning fight imo. Pulevs jab will give joshu problems early on till AJ can close the gap and land a crushing left or right hook. I dont see Pulev having a good hook defence, he'd out jab Joshua though. He is the face of boxing Joshua and its a very good thing.

Yup, his elite jab causes anyone in the division problems. I just don't think he can keep AJ at bay for long. Klitschko really dominated Pulev, though, but Klitschko has a spectacular jab. I don't think AJ's jab is on the same level as Klitschko's, though.
