yet Haney is viewed as "dominant and skill" while Wlad got criticized for it?

Ali held more then Klitschko did it’s just more revisionist views it’ll never change . Klitschko also had a great knockout record he was one of the smartest fighters ever . People complain about holding which usually means the fighter they like lost . Lewis was notorious for excessive holding and hitting ,it’s no different when a fighter out boxes someone then they claim it’s running . Nothing more then selective memories .

Because he's a huge heavyweight with enormous power. Haney doesn't have those gifts.

Edit - Not saying I agree with this, but people just expected Wlad to go to war because of his power and size, but he used his size to avoid conflict instead. Can't blame the guy after the losses he took. Haney just doesn't have a choice, he has to fight that way.

****** thread. Haney is criticized just the same if not more. There’s memes all over the internet about Haney being boring and hugging.

Heavyweights clinch more just due to the size and tempo of guys over 200 going at it . Really lighter weight guys can operate without clinching much easier . People are upset because he had limited options to cancel out Kambos speed and outsmarted Kambos in the end nothing really more then that .

Vlad wasn't scared to throw more than a jab, he knocked out most of his opponents in spectacular fashion and literally fought everybody. 76.81% ko ratio and you're comparing him to glass jaw Huggy 'The Snitch' Haney?
