I am not going to read the many pages of posts so if somebody already cleared things up, oh well...

Wlad has lost 3 fights: (1) Purity, which he ran out of gas, but before he ran out of gas he did take some punches and didn't get knocked out.
(2) Sanders: A big, left handed power puncher with speed...Wlad's ego was so big that he thought he could walk through anybody, but his ego took a shot to the nuts with this fight because he was wrong...this is the one, true blowout loss that should give Wlad a hit to his legacy...not only that, but what is up with your brother fighting him and you not rematching him?
(3) Brewster, another fight that was a little weird: he either ran out of gas again, like the Puritty fight, or something else was wrong with him internally, don't know, but it wasn't from the "punishment" Brewster was putting on him since I don't even know how many punches Lamon even landed, and none seemed to hurt Wlad until he was pale and falling asleep on his own.

So, Wlad doesn't have a granite chin, but he does have a decent chin, if he didn't, he would have been knocked out a hell of a lot more than 3 fights, and only one being from non-fatigue...did I also mention that he has never been KTFO, meaning he hasn't been knocked unconscious like some others, he has always gotten back up and the fight waived off.



For Wlad's skill: he is the most skilled "big man" I have ever seen...he is strong, powerful, fast, sharp, and throws combinations that are very impressive for any heavyweight to do.



How would Wlad do against other "All time Greats", I am not sure since we will see how things go from now on with Emanuel...we saw what Emanuel did for Lewis, so lets see if he can do the same for Wlad...but, I still don't see him beating Ali, Foreman, Tyson, and some others.


Is Wlad over hyped, kind of by his nuthugging fans, but that is the way it is for other fighters as well.

The "race" issue: first, it is the "Human Race" so we have to talk about "Ethnicity"...he probably gets some slack from some because he is "white", though this works the other way as well: some "whites" like him because he is "White" and actually talented (which has become rare), and "Blacks" can hate on him because he is "White" and "their" fighters aren't doing so well anymore.

It is all bull****, like the fighter for who he is and his skill, get over it Whitey and Blacky, time to grow up.





Do I like Wlad, yeah, why not, he is the most skilled Heavyweight Fighter out there and he looks in shape, unlike the rest of the group at the moment...he looks like a "Champion" that the sport can promote, and I am all about that since boxing is having an asthma attack at the moment.
