In your view, was George Foreman largely right in this interview about Wlad?

    You sir are talking ****. He doesn't get hit because he usually has a six inch height and reach advantage over his opponents, and he's scared to commit to anything other than a jab, PLUS he has ZERO inside game and so he clinches pitifully when an opponent closes the distance. A 245lb physically excellent specimen like Wlad shouldn't act like a scared little girl the way he does. To see him trying to drain Haye by leaning on him was the death knell of heavyweight boxing. Haye put on a shitty performance that night, but Wlad was only marginally better.

    Yes. The same place K2 have chosen most of the recent challengers from.

    Shame Tua has retired really. Another couple of years and he could have had a crack.

    Bull****. Wlad would 'defensively' take those guys apart like he does everyone else. Leaving your chin out to be tested isn't brave, it's unnecessary and stupid.

    As a wise man once said:

    "You got to be smart you got to be clever and not get hit and when your able to do this your a fighter"

    Who was the last guy with the strength to work Wlad on the inside? George would.

    And you numpties are using Wlads opposition in recent years as a comparison?

    No.

    Wlads excellent but vulnerable every time somebody lands anything at all. The fact he's managed to work around that is good, but it doesn't remove the weakness. It is what it is.

    And top class fighters of the past would land some shots. And every time that's happened, wlad has looked shaky.

    How about the truth. All his opponents think they can win, until they get hit! One example of being hit by Wlad's power makes 9 out of 10 fighters gun shy. Why should Wlad not fight smart?

    Excuse me but what are you talking about now, exactly? I called you out specifically about your statement of Wlad going after old fighters (according to you). I guess Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter, Haye, Chambers were all 2004 fighters huh?

    Way to go on a tangent.
