Wlad is a beast.

what a joke. do they just find any random guy of the street and say il give you a 100k to fight wlad?! wont be watching this "fight"

Random guy on the street. Current Heavyweight Division Top Ten. Same thing really.

Go Wladimir!

Wlad does look a bit soft compared to his usual physique. Of course, he could win the Nathan's hot dog eating competition then slip into a coma and remain bed-ridden for 5 years and wake up looking better than the rest of the HW division. Having said that, I think his softer physique may be telling. It may be age or boredom, but its a dangerous thing for a guy with a suspect chin to show up in anything but tip-top form.

Wlad gassed in two of his loses, and if I remember correctly a corner man jumped into the ring and the Puritty fight was stopped. And Sanders had to knock him down four times to get the win. All three of them also happened to be TKO stoppages. So, in my opinion this whole idea about Wlad's supposed glass jaw is really really overrated.

I was watching FNF and Atlas is still hating on the Klit brothers. And I have to ask the question. I wonder if he even realizes that they are actually two different people? And strange that when Atlas was asked about the Thompson rematch. He never bothered to mention that the real reason the fight is taking place is simply because it is a mandatory defense and out of Wlad's control. I also really believe that he dislikes the Klit bros so much that it sometimes clouds his judgement.

Atlas is a biased hater.

All this BS about physique's.....reminds me of my wife talking about features and fashion.... really!! As long as the guy is not overweight and relaxed enough to let the hands go.... Fat JT could still wipe out half the heavyweight weightlifter looking dudes in the division.

Vlad gasses at times and carrying any extra weight makes this interesting. Toney Tucker is lean and mean for this fight meaning he carries less weight, and can use leverage as a veteran should be able to....Ain't no non juicin 40 year old fighter gonna do better cause he looks like Frank Bruno! not in the ring anyway.

Toney is fine and in great shape, but not like Frank Bruno. Bruno was was stonger and would KO thompson like Wlad will today
