    Nonsense - the fight will be in Europe and the media (and consequently, the public) is more positive about him over there. He has a LOT of fans! The idiots that started booing ruined the unification in New York, if I was Wlad I'd never fight over here again.

    I'll be counting the days until July 12!

        They are much, much more positive about him in Germany, but there will be calls for him to come back to the US to fight and he will, it's just the way boxing works. Hopefully it'll be a better fight.

          Wlad was gettin mad respect before he fought Sultan. Since that fight ****** everybody's hatin on him now but they'll forget it as soon as he scores another big KO, which Manny Steward needs from him right now.

              It would shock the world if Wlad went all Tyson on us.
              That would create massive interest

                  When i am being serious i admit i am not a wlad fan but his early fights were interesting he would throw a lot of punches, But after the catastrophic ending in the Sanders and Brewster fights Wlad has changed his style and especially with manny in his corner. The Brock fight despite the ending was actually a boring fight as was the sultan fight the Brewster fight was boring and the Peter fight was a messy. His new style is more affective but it doesn't win him many fans.

                    Wlad is all class.

                    But I can't sit through many more Ibragimov affairs.

                    Haye had that fight right If he put half as much energy into slapping down Sultans Jab into punches it might have been a better fight. I'll give him a pass though, he is a pretty dominant champ.

                    It's sad when fighters eliminate risks from their game, makes them more dull. Like hook and hold Hatton, and now Wlad if he continues on this path. I think he'll be impressive in his next outing.

                      To be honest, Wlad is a decent fighter, but he is not amongst the best of the all-time HW's.There's your answer.Just because your considered the best in an era, doesn't mean you can be considered an all-time great.
