any fighter of any era has weaknesses. it's really all about how you improve on them or defend them.
personally, i think his "chin" is fine. in my eyes, it's the way he deals with a short barrage of heavy punches - especially when he's not ready for them.
so far though, he has looked much better. i noticed in the byrd rematch that after a while, he wasn't even clinching - he was jamming up the inside attack by going in really close, then taking a step to the side of byrd or simply pushing him back.
hopefully, for us boxing fans, he can maintain and unify at least another major title and hold onto them for a few years. seems like klitschko is the only champ really shooting for a unification. he did mention that negotiations are a bit difficult. perhaps talks with the other champs are already happening.
hes definitly the hope to unify. its sure as hell not rahman, toney or brew.
For someone who speaks like 7 languages, I thought he did a great job, was well-spoken, and very relaxed. Dressed sharp, too. Wlad is all class and a credit to the sport of boxing.
Light years beyond some thugged-out low-life criminal fighters I could name who like to beat up women, pose like they're in rap videos, and who can't speak English any better than Wlad even though it's their first language.... LOL
...lol lol What a great post and it sums things up nicely.
