If Wlad is so "soft", why does he have the entire HW division running scared?

[jrosales13]

Not true, you still hear fighters, trainers, and boxing writers come out with statements that Wlad folds under pressure and cannot take a good punch. They were saying it right before the Peter II fight.

Bullshit, no respectable person was giving Peter a chance.

Stop trying to hype up a fighter who was done just to have Wlad win better than what it really is.

[Earl-Hickey]

have you see the rest of the division?

[PainKiller]

I just proved my point, you still have people with the perception that he is soft. Is it because he is a nice guy outside of the ring?

He is an athlete, and strong, and big. He hurts and can stop any man on the planet now IMO, but he isn't a man liek Vitali.

Don;t get me wrong, he has the best resume now. He is catching up to Lewis although the fighters with names in this day and age are not really fighters like the past.

What I dislike of Wlad is his style. He does have a chin to protect and in soem ways, even as a die ahrd Khan fan, his style is a little mroe boring for me too.

Vitali is a man I respect, I would like him to be my big brother. A brother you can tell that you got beat up by 3 guys and he would go out with you and kick their asses.

Wlad would speak to their mothers.

I hear you giving him reluctant props but there is still that little dig in the end about Wladimir speaking to people's mothers. Which leads me to believe that you don't think he has a fighter's mentality, yet he has top HWs turning down fights against him right and left. So again, what is that makes you think Wlad is somewhat soft?

He manner of no killer instinct. This bothers me in the ring and I can tell the TKO is coming, but it doesn't excite me.

His lack of mentally and verbally scaring someone. I mean pizza face?

Atleast Vitali said he will knock Haye out.

Don't get me wrong, a very good boxer now. He uses what he has and trains hard, but I really wouldn't be scared to bad mouth him to his face because he is a polite, educated guy and wouldn't touch me, but if he actually wanted to kill me, he could.

Someone like Vitali would break my neck bother I even said yu after saying fu ck.

If he doesn't scare anyone mentally, why are so many professional HWs who fight for a living turn down fights against him?

[ModernTalking]

The way to beat Wald is to train for a 2 round fight. Throw everything you got in the first two round and try to win or lose a long painful jabbing match.

Because in a boxing ring with rules, the gulf between him and the rest of the current HW division is enormous.

I use to think Haye had a chance, but only when he was hungry. Now Haye seems to want money only.

Vitali has lost his speed and maybe power.

Being soft and being a good boxer can work, but being a good boxer and being a beast is another level.

Wlad can not be the beast, his chin can be cracked if he gets caught on and on. He has to fight like that, much like Khan.

I am not saying they are not good boxers, they are, but they are not hard.

So what's your definition of hard? A thug or someone who does hard time? Is Lennox Lewis by your definition hard or soft? Cause Mike Tyson though he was soft as well...

Wlad and Vitaly would own any of the boxers they beat in a street fight or in a boxing ring.

[Holtol]

Maybe his chin is a little soft. But no one can get to it without being punched hard enough to knock them out.
