Why are Wlad fans so darn obsessed?

[Neuraxis]

Not many mention Purrity, there is alot more concern for Wlad over his last two losses, there is a legit arguement to say he was young, inexperianced and didn't know how to pace himself - lack of maturity or whatever.

Before the Sanders loss, Purrity was mentioned during every single fight of Wlads that I have seen.

[LuKahnLi]

The same can be said for the Purrity loss. Yet that didn't stop people from bashing him because of it.

Notice when I mentioned Wlad's losses, I did not mention Purrity......for that very reason. I don't count Pac's early losses against him the same way I don't count Wlad's loss against Purrity against him.

To be consistent, since you don't hold the Purrity loss againt Wlad, how can you hold Paquaio's early losses against him?

Well you aren't the only person who thinks that Wlad sucks. Most people mention the Purrity fight. And many people mentioned about how the Brewster fight was just an exact repeat of it which is hardly the case.

I am not holding those loses against Pacman. I was merely pointing out that he has lost to lesser opposition just like Wlad has. I would say that Brewster is a lesser fighter, but Sanders is an A level fighter for the first 2 or 3 rounds of every fight. If he ever actually trained and fought every round more or less like he was able to fight the early rounds of fights, Sanders would be a top 5 heavyweight.

I know and I never said that Pac was doing as badly as Wlad.
I said that as soon as it happens, they will defend him the same way Wlad is being defended.

They swallowed the story that it was his socks that kept him from putting away Marquez after having him down 3 times in the first round. He probably just found that excuse in the Wlad locker room waste basket after the Sanders fight, though

Wouldn't doubt it.
Hell, the being attacked by klingons excuse is more believable.

I laughed my ass off when I read that article, though I just searched several news sites and can't find it again.
They said that he had on improper socks, which caused his feet to hurt, so he wasn't as mobile as he could have been.

[leff]

Because his big, white, beautiful, well educated and comes from a poor country.

If he makes it and becomes champ and retires as a champ his life story would be the perfect bed time story, with good morale, go to school, train hard, be kind and youl make it.

His the man id like to have a pint and a chat with and the man girls want too be with.

His young he can still make it, i hope.
His future is a big question.

But! This especially too chrisistheanswer. How bad is Chris if a pathetic boxer like you mean Wlad is, whiped the floor with him?

Who has a better record and more talent than wlad at his age?

[Panzergirl]

good points, leff.

If Wlad fights Byrd five times, Wlad defeats Byrd all five times. Wlad has no fear of getting hit by Byrd. Wlad's fear comes from big punchers or big guy's. That's why I think he'll destroy Brewster if they face one another again and he'll also defeat Ruiz who is not considered a big puncher. Now if he faces Whitaker, Golota, Harrison, Tyson, Williams the outcome may be different because he fears getting hit by these guy's. It is a psychological demon that he needs to defeat.

[leff]

Yes,i know from fighting myself both on the street and in the ring that the
psychological part is extremly important.
Iv scared a lot of guys who realy are a lot scarier than me.
