    wait a second... ray austin was 6'6 and had longer reach

    why do people say wlad has never fought a tall guy before, but he fought ray austin who was 6f6 (the same heigh as wlad) and actually had a longer reach, wlad KTFO ray in 2 rounds..................... so why do people say wlad never challenged himself against a tall fighter

    "wlad knock the fuck out" makes absolutely no sense.

    please proceed to bring your life to a screeching halt.

      you know what i mean... wlad knocked ray the **** out.......

      but my point is, he was the same height as wlad at 6f6 and had longer reach than wlad, but wlad was still able to brutalize ray....

        because it's ray "****ing" austin?

        wlad is very skilled and very big.

        most guys his size are not that skilled.

        most guys his skill level are not as big as him.

        wlad and vitali are very special. very few guys that size have the skills they do.

          Wlad fought plenty of guys who were of comparable size to him.

            im not going to go in to if ray austin is a bum or not

            but what im trying to say is that, people say wlad only fights people smaller than him, or people he outreaches...

            ray austin was the same heigh as wlad, and had longer reach

            but was destroyed by wlad

                    it's cause he's taller than most (not all) of his opponents, and a lot of people think his style is predicated on having that type of physical advantage

                    it's kind of unfair to be critical of him for that though, because its not like quality 6'6" and up boxers grow on trees
