    I just think he is NOT a NATURAL BORN BOXER or FIGHTER. Some people have the bloodline, some people have the fighters instinct, some people are just born to fight. I think he was MADE into a boxer because of his older brother Vitali (who is miles better than wlad) and also because of his imposing figure. I feel the only reason that he has had some success is because of his physique and because of his height. He is just too BASIC and was TAUGHT to box, he didnt grow up in or loving boxing, unlike his brother his is more fluid and not so mechanical. He fell into boxing when Vitali started. Look at other fighters like Lennox, Mike Tyson, Israel Vasquez, Floyd, Cotto, Mijares, Erik Morales. Those are NATURAL BORN fighters and are born to fight. They were not taught to fight, their fighting ability got polished into more of a boxing mode. Just like pit bulls are born to fight, it is in these fighters blood. Now dont get it twisted, I do like Wlad and think him as a person is good for the sport and seems like a very cool guy, but I just dont see it in Wlad, and I think that is why he isnt as good as advertised.

    I stopped reading after you said Vitali was "miles better" than Wlad......

I really believe that his fans are just in love with the idea of him. Sure he's great for the sport. An intelligent, handsome, white, twelve-foot tall polyglot philanthropist with a PhD. ****, he's probably better for the sport than ODLH. He's such a great package that his fan club glazes right over the fact that the guy sucks. They want so badly to believe in this guy that they will go to any length to apolize for him.
      when your this big, it's easy to dominate a HW division.

        uh,,,he is an olympic gold medalist beating 144 out of 150 in international competition and 50 out of 53 as a pro. I think thats pretty good evidence that he's a damn good fighter. where some of you mental giants come from I'll never know

          Are you saying he doesn't have 'the eye of the tiger' so to speak?
