wlad deserves respect

[mathed]

he's been undefeated for 5 years and just beat another undefeated champion like he was a taxi driver..hell when was the last time wlad even lost a round???his style has developed to the point he hardly even gets hit anymore...he is now "THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP" not just a titlist.......he has damn near cleaned out the entire division..respect is due

I give him respect for a good win tonight and he was far more aggressive than in past fights. I still think that both he and his brother will beat almost anyone because of their size and reach alone though and continue to make fights look easy because the opponents simply can't reach them. Wlad needs to fight Vitali or either of them needs to fight Valuev (I know he turned down a fight with Wlad too) because they both are just plain outright too big to get beaten by 99% of the current heavies.

I know that they can't be blamed for their natural genetics but how can a majority of their fights be seen as fair (you ever tried to fight a guy with a 6 or 7 inch height advantage and a 6 inch reach advantage?)

None the less, I was impressed with Wlad's attack tonight and he looked like he was the bigger, stronger man tonight instead of looking timid. Props to him for a big win over a top guy. By the way, Chagaev was moving into Wlad's power, straight right or standing in front of Wlad willingly eating the jab. I know it is easier said than done to do something else but he could have made a more concerted effort in a championship match in my opinion.

I've been saying this for years, Wlad is one of the most underrated fighters today. Hell, I'll go as far as saying he is the baddest man on the planet. He's the only one that can beat Fedor in my opinion. Haye and Arreola hopefully are next, then Povetkin.
