      Wlad is overrated. His power isnt, he hits hard.

        He wins most of his fights by KO, so I don't think so. His style just isn't typical of a power puncher. He utilizes his power methodically rather than rushing it. Can't say the guy doesn't pack a killer punch though.

          Wlad has spent the last couple of years operating sorely behind his jab and his jab alone.If he opened up and fought more aggressively than he has done in recent years,guys like Haye,Chambers,Thompson and Ibragimov wouldn't have lasted as long as they did against him.




          It's a shame that he doesn't fight like he used to,but his cautious style has brought him great success and made him into the most dominant fighter in the sport.

            yes. i think Foreman's power is a little overrated because he was a come forward slugger, while Lewis was a consummate boxer puncher. Tyson's unreal speed at heavyweight made his power look extraordinary. considering Lewis size and accuracy, no doubt in my mind Lewis was a bigger puncher.

              I think Wlad hits pretty damn hard. He's just a very cautious boxer. Someone to fight like he does with his KO% is pretty rare.

                  I don't think that his power is overrated. I think he might be overrated as a fighter tho.

                      LOL what fight were you watching he hit Haye with maybe 3 clean power shots the entire fight. Nothing you can do if someone is running for 12 rounds and doesn't engage AT ALL.
