    Why does Wlad fight so cautious? Is he scared or something?

    I know that's part of this' guys style, but seriously, he had Rahman hurt on the ropes and what does he do? HOLD!

    His most recent fights have been getting worser and worser.

    I wonder if him getting viciously ko'd to bums is still in the back of his mind. That's how Cotto is going to be probably from here on out.

    He is scared that if someone with a half decent punch gets inside on him he will be knocked out as happened with Sanders and Brewster.
    Nothing funnier than seeing Wlad get hit across the ring and fall over whilst his Ivan Drago face shows despair.

      Well the guy has a Flaw... Call it a bad chin, low punch resistance, Low mental fortitude.. whatever.. The guy does not respond well to getting hit..

      SO he has risen above his weakness and found a way to be Champ despite it..

      Considering his weakness is perhaps the worst possible weakness for a heavyweight to have.. Its impressive he is champ.. No?

          He fights in a similar fashion as PBF where he is always cautious, But all his fights in in a KO so I'll give hima break.

            Floyd fan, but wlad hater. I'm a fan of neither, I used to be a fan of Wlads but his fights recently put me to sleep. I've always been a bigger Vitali fan.

                Yea what the **** was that about? He was more aggressive against Lamon Brewster. I honestly think he went easy on Rahman cause he felt bad for him, no ****, which is also very bad for boxing.

                  Wlad definitely needs to put his foot on the gas in those situations. Rock had no chance of hurting him because he cant counter punch. Wlad should have put it on him. Povetkin will force Wlad to let go more. I'm looking forward to that.

                    I like Wlad when he lets his hands go, he is a beast. Recent fights have been so dissapointing and boring. It's painful to watch.
