1st off Floyd is the much more accomplished fighter and Wlad hasnt beaten half the top fighters that Floyd has. There styles are totally different and Floyd has never been beat, let alone KO.
Then I keep hearing everyone compare the Sultan fight to the Baldy fight. Anyone who does that doesnt have a brain. Im a Floyd fan and even I admit that the Baldy fight was super boring but there was a huge difference between that fight in Wlad's fight and thats the size difference. I never thought Floyd shouldve been ripped for the Baldy fight because it was just Floyd's 3rd fight at the weight and the other 2 were against small guys. Floyd clearly was not a real WW at the time. He was much closer to 140 while Baldy was much closer to a 154 pounder and moved up right after that fight. It was Floyd's 4th weight class and basically his 5th if you go by how big Baldy was.
If you go back and rewatch that fight then you will see that Floyd looks like a little boy while Baldy is super huge. The fight night weigh-in had Floyd listed at 146 and Baldy listed at 166. Thats 20 literal pounds bigger and you could easily tell that he was even naturally more bigger then that. Wlad on the other hand was even bigger to Sultan then Baldy was to Floyd. Thats the difference. Atleast Floyd was fighting a much bigger & stronger man. Wlad has all the advantages and still is scared to do anything. Name 1 fight where you saw Floyd fight a smaller guy and not go toe to toe? Floyd never fights smaller guys but even the rare fight against a guy his size he is super aggressive and walks guys down. Zab is a lefty and Floyd walked him down all night while Zab is natually bigger. Why cant Wlad do that? Sure he walked Sultan down but its all jabs.
Anyone who cant see the huge difference in size is blind. That totally makes those 2 fights apples & oranges. The bad part is that Wlad is always like that, atleast since Sanders stopped him. I told everyone this after the Brewer fight. Its funny how the HBO guys and fans on here were bragging on him then but dissing him now. It was the same exact fight. The only differnce is that weak chin Brewster basically got woozy after every jab but Sultan didnt. He fought them both the same exact way except Sultan could take the jab. If Brewster could take it then Wlad wouldve never threw the right again
