wlad - 5 guys to fight, 5 guys to avoid

[hollister]

And before anybody flames me, I think the first thing he should do is go back and fight TOS and Brewster, and even Sanders if he hasn't retired yet. If he can't beat those three, hang 'em up, that coming from a Klit fan.

Wlad's chin isn't the best, but that's a hate-motivated post if I ever saw one.

How many shots did he take from Sanders?

And he even took a few shots from Brewster before going down after being too exhausted to avoid them.

If you said he has a stamina issue, or issues with pacing himself, I would more readily agree, even though he has other fights that went into the late rounds, but a china chin?
Can't compete with power punchers period, and only a slim chance against fighters with no punch? Look, if you hate the Klits, that's fine, we all have to hate somebody, but you could have at least followed that post with "but I hate the Klit brothers more than Louis Farrakhan hates crackers in general, so please disregard my hateful, biased posts about them..."

I don't have to hate the guy to say that he has a glass jaw, it's the TRUTH, I loved Tommy Hearns, but he became crystal-chinned by the time I was old enough to see his fights live....

don't assume hate from a frickin' website post, you can't gauge emotion and hatred from words on paper without seeing non-verbals and hearing my tone

i didnt say he should do this his whole career... he's in a rebuilding stage right now, 1 year removed from the brewster fiasco and he needs some confidence building fights...

wouldnt defeating a big puncher boost wlads confidence most?
wlad has a fear of big punchers and how do people get over ther fears....by facing them

FIX you are the mutha f#$%$#'ing man, that's a great post, a win for Vlad vs. a power puncher would vault him back to the top 5 or 10 in the division, and more inportantly, give him a HUGE boost of confidence

thank you

thats what iam trying to say, if wlad wants credibility and confidence take on a big puncher. tua is perfect for him right now, he is rusty and could be on the downside of his career. if wlads people were smart they would push that fight. he has nothing to lose and everything to gain

wlad doesnt have a fear of big punchers, if he did he would never faced TOS, sanders or brewster... i thought wlad lost to brewster because of fatigue and pressure, more than by punches...

i agree, eventually wlad will have to face a big threat, but not right away... lewis after losing to mccall, hired steward and fought bums like lionel butler, phil jackson and justin fortune before fighting dagerous guys like mercer.. wlad needs to do the same thing..

wlad lost to sanders because he was careless

he lost to brewster because he overlooked him

and tos is a wrecked fighter, imo mesi ruined him

i agree, i just dont think the timing is right... he's still learning manny's jab and relax pace...

hence, he's not afraid of big punchers cause he will fight them

Whaddya' mean Lionel Butler was a bum?!?!?!? That guy was in prime physical condition.... Lewis vs. Butler at Arco Arena was the 1st fight I ever attended, just thought I'd get ridiculous for a second....

anyhow, good call on having Vlad come back slow, I think we all tend to forget that he's still REALLY young for heavyweights of this generation, and a year or 2 of re-tooling vs. top 30-50 guys woudl do him a lot of good
