Sure Wlad looks good on paper...

Maskaev/Rahman was a close even fight going into the final round.

Rahman won the first 2 rounds against Toney, got cut and lost one round. It was a no contest.

Wlad completely dominated and KO'd Rahman

It was an impressive performance. You haters can't deny it.

Right.

Wlad is The Man.

Which is pathetic. Maskaev was old, shot and knocked Rahman out of the ring once before.
That Toney fight should have been a TKO, and anybody who watched it knows that.
I am not impressed with a stoppage of an ancient, shot to bits Hasim Rahman.

Maskaev wasn't shot, he was motivated man on a mission that night, he had turned his career around, earned the title shot and got the exciting 12th round KO. Rahman looked impressive dominating the first half of that fight, but he ran out of gas and had nothing left in that final round. That was a good competitive fight.

You need to stop trying to discredit Wlad all the time. It's ****ing pathetic.

I like watching Wlad box, but feel there's so much talent going to waste. Jab, jab, straight, jab, jab, straight, hold. Rinse and repeat. I know he's more likely than not protecting his chin, but honestly I'd rather have Vitali in Wlad's place. Vitali is a beast.

I think Steward was both the best and worst thing that has happened to Wlad's career.

[MANGLER]

Wlad is just the best of a bad bunch. We just gotta deal wit it.

[Naps]

Whatever.. They guy wins.. and he wins convincingly.. And he KO's most of his opponents in the process.. His fights are Boxing master classes.. and you guys *****.. why???

What do you guys have against this guy ???

He's a bag of boring wank. Haye will spark him.

But does not look as impressive in the ring.
Take the Thompson fight.
Looks like an impressive, dominating KO win, but Thompson was not a game fighter and laid down for Wlad after 11 painful rounds.
The Peter win looks good but he was dropped three times.
It looks good to come back and stop Brewster in 5 rounds in the rematch, but Brewster was coming off a loss and had one good eye.

Now a 7th round stoppage of a former champ, but a washed up champion who had no business fighting Wlad in the first place.

Man should not even be mentioned in the same ring with the best heavyweights ever...

Damn don't you think your being a little too harsh, All his fights end up in Ko and has a 90% ko ratio, what more can you ask for. You may not like him for his style, But his style will keep him the heavyweight champ for years to come, where you like it or not. Give credit where credit is due. Also what does Wlad have to do for you to respect him. Really.
