Wlad can hook off the jab. But he doesn't punch in combination like Andrej. He doesn't mix body and head punches like him. Nor does he throw off speed punches like the Pole. Golota is far more fluid. Wlad is stiff as a board which is why he tires so quickly. He doesn't relax. Besides, Golota has 10 times better footwork to get off those punches. Skill wise it's no contest.
Byrd is the perfect test for ones boxing skills. We all know how well each of them did against Byrd.
To use a particular fight to judge how fighters do against each other is ******. Neither Wlad or Golota fights like Byrd. ****** comparison.
That's like using Bobby Czyz to determine how good of a heavyweight Holyfield is. He looked like **** and as a result people said there's no way he could beat Tyson. right? WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONG.
Byrd was Golota's first real opponent in about 2 years or more and he arguably beat him. Apples and oranges.

You have a way of spinning out of the discussion. We aren't judging how fighters do against each other. We are judging who has better boxing skills. Wlad destroyed Byrd, Golota didn't. Arguably beating someone is not that same as pitching a shutout. Bobby Czyz is a horrible comparison to Byrd. Are you doing that on purpose or what? Czyz blows. How are you comparing him to the best defensive boxer out there today? And how are you comparing a Golota draw with Byrd to Holyfield TKOing Czyz in 5 rounds?

Byrd the best defensive boxer today? Please. that's all hype. He's got good defense for a heavyweight since most heavies just catch punches on their face.
Byrd was very easy for Golota and Oquendo to hit.
Wlad has more power than Golota. That's why he beat Byrd so badly. But power isn't a skill.
The Wlad back then was as skilled if not more skilled than Golota. The Wlad of today is not. He's terrified of being countered and is afraid to let his hands go

I guess you haven't seen the Wlad v. Byrd fight then.

i would LOVE to see that fight. either of these two things will happen: Wlad panics and passes out after Golota catches him flush the first time, or Golota panics when Wlad catches him with one of those ridiculous left hooks(i love that left hook ) and Golota bites wlad's face off. i would love to see it.
