    Me, too. I like his clinical approach. "Use every weakness of your opponents to absolutely outclass them". "Position yourself in an angle where they cannot hit you." "Snipe the jab".

    ... and then in the second half of the fight - finish them.

    Reminds me always of the movie "Equilibrium".

      I don't really care about Wlad's style because I really am not interested in Heavyweight boxing anymore. I'll watch the big fights on a download after they happen but am usually diaspointed. I avoided the result, watching Wlad v Chagaev and thought it was probably the worst fight I have ever seen.

        Very true, Wlad does not throw any body punches and that's missing in his style, he should correct that. Other than that he is fine, he fights to the best of his capabilities, makes the most out of what he has and dominates his competition. What more can you ask? the guy is the best HW out there.

        People criticize Wlad a lot for not opening up and going all out, letting his hands go for quick, impressive KOs and all. What this same people don't know is that Wlad used to do exactly that a few years back and that's how he picked up the 3 losses in his career.

          It would be great to see a fully fit, hard hitting guy going in for the kill
          But Wlad simply will not fight like that, after his KO losses he has become extremely cautious.

              I think he should fight whatever style works for him.

              Boxers will be critizied for whatever style they fight.

              A exciting move foreward fighter...is called a dumb brawler with no Defense.

              A slick boxer ....is called a runner and a ***** for avoiding contact.

              People will always find a reason to *****.

                If we were in Wlads position would we change?
                I dont think anyone would,he dominates,he wins,hes a millionaire,he gets millions of viewers.
                It doesnt matter if most Americans dont like him or watch him,he doesnt need them too.
                I think there is an easy solution to this...if u find Wlad boring,instead of watching and hating everytime just dont watch lol simple really.

                  Fair cop, the problem with that though is the fact that boxing fans want to see the heavyweight champ and its a bit crap that this is what we get.

                    I really don't think fans are bitching just for the sake of hearing their own voices. There is likely something definitely missing from his performances that constantly evokes the same exact reaction from so many different people. With that said, as long as Wlad continues winning and taking on all challenges while remaining humble and classy outside the ring.. it's hard to really get on his case.

                      I'm not necessarily agreeing with what this guy is saying but he echoes a lot of NSB sentiments regarding the Klitmeister:
