In any weight class leaves it too wide open. Its a lot easier to be coordinated and throw a lot of punches when you are smaller. I don't know how anyone could say Wlad isn't the best offensive heavyweight. If they don't think that he is, they obviously haven't seen very many of his fights.

true only if he had his big bros heart. Man could it would be one sacry MF. OH WELL

he does see openings very well, and punches for them.

couldnt have said it better. If he could take a punch and had the heart that is needed to compete, he would be nearly unstoppable at this point in his career. he is almost a fantastic fighter. But "if" is an imporant word, and "almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. He is still my favorite fighter though, unfortunatly.

I don't see his heart being an issue. I think his questionable chin and defense along with his tendency to panic are the bigger issues.

im not a Klit fan at all but its hard to lie about wlad's offensive skills. take the glass jaw away and you've got a hell of a fighter.

I do not think he has the chin problem. The habit of panicing seems much more of a problem, but it should be fixed after enough of tough fights. Manny Stewart and his big brother should help him out. I think VK and WK should start sparring each other. Where else would WK find such a great sparring partner ?

you guys all make good points, i was certain that i would get torn to shreds for this post. it's my first day on here. he does panic. and he is HORRIBLE at tying up when in trouble. i just wish i could throw a left hook the way he does, i would go around hitting anyone i saw with one!

just kidding, or am i?

Serious question.
