  • Vlad may be done as an top 10 heavyweight

    I am a huge Vlad fan, and after the TOS I was glad he got a win despite the poor ending. But after much thought and reading some other comments I am afraid he may be done as an A+ heavyweight. Someone said he just isnt beltholder material and they may be right( WBO is a minor league belt). He barely beat TOS and was pretty busted up after fight. Thats fine for a B level fighter, but not a guy who was a former gold medalist who beat byrd,mcline,mercer. He has had a bad year, losing to A TOTAL BUM brewster. Remeber this guy has beat no one till he met Vlad. Vlad was destroying him and god knows what happened, but he lost. No matter drugs, exhaustion, chin, whatever he lost. He lost to sanders. No shame in that except he was steamrolled.
    No question he has great jab,hook of the jab, great counter right hand, huge overhand right.He showed he can pace himself. But I am starting to think he will be relagated to a B , B+ level heavy, but nothing else. Maybe I am wrong, but as a huge Wvlad fan we are lieing to ourselves about the future of this guy. He gets ko'd again he is on danell nicholson level and will stay there till he quits. Thats showbiz in boxing. Thank God his brother has potentiol for greatness! I think Vlad could destroy Whitaker, but after this past 18 months, that may be his end.

            Sorry, but I think this must be a byproduct of a horse.



            Wlad is the third youngest heavyweight among the top 50 heavyweights. Wlad is not shot, but rather he has not even fully developed yet. His time will come in two or three years.

            He has been having some rough times, but this is very good for him. These rough times should really serve him well. If he is a true worrior, he will learn from these bad times and will come back and rein in the good times!

            Wlad will be the champion. We believe in him. The true fans never give up on their fighters, especially in bad times !

              Only Time will tell if Wlad will be able to respond to the challenge to be great. Ive said it before, he is my favorite(not who i think is the best) fighter to watch, and I hope he does answer our questions by this time next year. All i know is, I wish I could throw a left hook like that. it is ridiculous, i would just going around picking fights if i could LHook like him(j/k )
