    Is outboxing Wlad hard as outboxing Ward and Mayweather?

    In theirown weights of course...
    Wlad won his last fight 119-104 (vs Povetkin) even though he looked boring and terrrible... and he never lost by points

    Its harder to outbox wlad for the HWT's because the competitors have very little skill and are not great fighters.

    Ward or Floyd could be outboxed by a GGG or sergio or MAYBE a tim bradley.

      For actual heavyweights? Yes.

      If there was anyone like Ward or Mayweather have fought at heavyweight? No.

        That's in the realm of possibility.

        Wlad changed his style after getting stopped, and he's a safety-first fighter now. While he can be outboxed, his physical size advantages and pretty good defense make him hard to hit. I don't know if there is a HWT who can accomplish that task.

          We will know the answer when we see Wlad in with somebody in his own weight class..Heavyweight should not be confused with super-heavy weight.. They are two different classes!! When we see Wlad with someone his own size, questions will get answered.. Ward and Floyd can outbox people smaller or bigger than themselves and since it doesn't get any bigger than super-heavy, we won't know til Wlad fights one himself.

            We will never know because Wlad was fortunate enough to have vitali as his bro instead of his opponent.

              Yeah, and I will go against the majority and say that Vitali would beat him handily, too.

                Would've been a helluva fight. Big bro always beats little bro though

                  He's very hittable for someone his own size, in my opinion.

                    hes already fought quite a few guys his size or even bigger. the problem is not many super heavyweights have much skill
