    I am not a wlad fan but i hope sultan doesn't win. It would make the heavyweight division even worse.

      Wlad has a glass jaw, Manny has improved him as a fighter. Wlad uses his size and long reach to keep opponents away. Sultan is probably too small, but if he can manage to land flush on Wlad, it could be lights out. You can't put muscle on chins, Wlad is a knock out waiting to happen sooner or later.

        Sultan's only chance is to go all out from the start like he did against Goofi. Wlad cannot fight under that kind of pressure for a long time as shown in spots against Peter. It will take a hell of a lot of stamina. Wlad cannot sustain a torrid pace for an entire fight without getting hit a few times. If Sultan sits back and tries to box he will get tko'd by the 6th round.

          i think he has a decent chance. he is quick for a big man, a southpaw who has a good work rate, footwork, and is smart in the ring. i still think wlad wins, but i am not counting sultan out!

            Sultan is very good quick and a strong lefty which is Wlad's kryptonite, the straight left hand coming from a big slugger, but I don't know if he has the power of a Sanders, we'll see. He tends to wait a lot and fight in spurts.

            Sultan's workrate against Holyfield was sporadic. He chose to box him and took the fight the distance. Doing this against Wlad and boxing a boxer will be his downfall. Wlad will jab him to death waiting to set up the big right hand or the left hook which he seems to have fallen in love with the last couple of fights.

            Sultan does have a pretty good chin (although Ray Austin did drop him), and it will be tested.

            Wlad tko.

              sultan 4 sure does not haver he power of sanders, but he has decent pop! sander is a murderous puncher, with good handspeeed, but little else! i think wlad tko is correct after 8 rds!

                Sultan is a bit too small and I dont think he has the power to put Wlad down with one punch. Doesn't matter if Sultan puts a constant attack on, once he sees how fast Wlad's jab is and gets hit with a right hand or two, he might be hesitant to just jump at Wlad.

                  i think he does ..his foot movement and handspeed are great for a heavyweight ..im just not to sure if he can take a punch ..i cant wait to go but yes i think he has more of a chance than anyone in a while

                    everyone always has a punchers chance but I'm gonna say wlad with a ko between rounds 7-10.
