Anytime he fought someone his own size he was made to look like a clueless amateur. (Sanders, Fury). He's made a living beating smaller guys and he was exposed for what he is. Well at least we don't have to watch clinchfests in heavyweight title fights anymore. Hopefully Fury doesn't duck Wilder.

He did seem to have a lot of trouble with someone that is his own size. Can't lie on them and wear them down that way. Let's be honest, there should be a Super Heavyweight division or something like that. We always say that there are weight divisions for a reason, but then you have 220 pounders vs. 250 pounders. His record has a lot of guys that weigh much less than him, but also some that weigh around the same or even more, but mostly nowhere near his height, which means those were likely fat out of shape tubs of lard.
I've been waiting to see him fight someone in decent shape his size, and we saw what happened.Comment

I am damn sure the debate of Wlad as one of the most dominating HWs of all time is gone out the window. The debate of his accomplishments is also watery now. He can dominate and KO Fury in the rematch and this loss will haunt his legacy forever!
He was focused, he was fit and he just couldn't answer it! It's simply been written in history that Wlad will have trouble with any fighter that's his size and when he couldnt toss him around. Then he's going to have a horrible night. It showed in the Fury fight.
His legacy took a toll and a debate of him among the great HWs in the history is gone!Comment

How many more floyd ****** who "refuse to watch heavyweight since holmes lost the belt" will share their expert opinions on wlad today?
Corrie Sanders wasn't even that big. He just fought like a bat out of hell. You want same size/bigger than Wlad you're looking at Mariusz Wach and Tony Thompson. Brilliant theory.
Only reason you're excited is because you think Wilder has a better chance against Fury than he did against Wlad. That uncoordinated clown isn't going to survive a division with Fury, Joshua, Parker in it when Eric "TBA" Molina almost ended him.Last edited by ////; 11-29-2015, 04:09 AM.Comment

Yep there's no denying it at this point. He locked in his status as one of the ATG heavyweights with such a long reign against such a diverse array of opponents.
Lets wish Fury the same. Wlad is a high-mileage fighter whos killer instinct has dwindled into rare appearances the past few years and I don't even think he should ask for the rematch.Comment

First Klit should be given credit for his long reign but he was always over rated and fought in a garbage era and has no great scalps on his resume
Just glad Fury was the one to end it.Comment

The bigger you get the slower you are. Wlad usually looks great against big, immobile targets that areant nearly as coordinated as him. But the thing is Tyson Fury is a freak of nature. This man is 6'9 250 lbs and move exceptionally well. I don't think there's anyone else in the pro game like him at the moment. In the amateurs there's a guy called Ivan Dychko who looks quite similar in style and attributes and is equally big.Comment
