    I agree with this.

    Vlad is clearly a better fighter now, however..

    If I'm honest, I prefer Vlad from the old days, yes he was vulnerable but he was also more exciting to watch.

    I watch boxing to be entertained, not to watch half naked men "Cuddle" each other for 12 rounds.:bbb

    Absolut true. Wlad has learned much since this loss. Emanuel Steward teaches him very well. Haye caught Wlad with a great and heavy shot in the 12th and Wlad knows how to react well.

    he is better now, but also very boring

    back than he was a machine, the fight against mercer was brutal. unfortunately wlad is not a real born fighter, so he must be very elusive otherwise he will get KO again.

    He has become a better, but infinitely more boring fighter.

    Also, Sanders was a ****ing bum. So getting completely ****ed up by him then improving is not impressive.

    Wlad is much better and a very good fighter. Boxing is winning and boxing is like a chess game not a brawl in a bar.

    jack have you a clue??his defense is indeed better.his offense is basic and very very affective he picks his punches and boxes smart instead of being a gung ho idiot who is a knock out waiting to happen..super heavys who fight like that are stupid as **** and should be sacking elmer fudd as their trainers..you say you enjoy wlad..you lie.

    Absolut right and Wlad is an intelligent man who wants to have his brain healthy after he retired. Boxing is a short time of life. Taking punches is not intelligent.

    Wladimir fights the right way.

    It isn't beneficial for a boxer to be so predictable. Everything Wlad has comes from behind his jab and it means that it's far easier to figure him out than if he had a varied attack. He doesn't throw body punches, meaning his opponents can neglect defending their body and focus on their head. He has no inside game now, meaning that when he's up close, he isn't as effective as he used to be, and so on.

    Wlad is very good at what he does but to argue that it's a better style is absurd. It's simply not. By protecting certain flaws, he creates other flaws.

    Maybe you should consider watching more boxing. You clearly know very little about it.

    That's because you're a delusional nut hugging *****.

    Sanders was never a top level fighter. Ever. Brutally knocking out Voidimir, a **** poor champ at the time, is literally his only career achievment. He was and is a ****ing nobody. It's questionable as to why he was even in the ring with Wlad. The man was a ****ing bum who turned pro in 1989 but never fought anybody at all that mattered. Getting KO'd by Rahman, who himself was coming off two KO's, is the best he did in his first 11 years in a good HW era.

    He was mother****ing trash.

    All you ******ed Klit Lickers need to understand that Corrie Sanders, and Chris Byrd were both shitty fighters who got ****ed up my multiple other contenders in their era. Nobody gave a **** about them at the time, and nobody should now.

    serious.i should watch more boxing.this coming from a guy who just said he is very predictable and cant figure out the mere fact that he may fight behind the jab but his jab alone isnt predictable because he throws it from that many angles it cant be figured out hence why no one can counter a mere ****ing jab.and he never really had an inside game guys that size dont need one its useless having one esp if you dont like getting hit and want to have a long carrer....also most heavyweights now are head hunters and go to the body so many of them neglect defending their body lol **** you are a fool my man...and his style is far better to what it used to be as i said before a man that size using a gung ho style is ****ing stupid just ask anyone who actually knows about boxing..hell i know this myself due to personal experiance..ill put it in capitals for you to see if it sinks in this time.....ANY MAN THAT SIZE WHO FIGHTS A GUNG HO STYLE WILL EVENTUALLY BE KNOCKED THE **** OUT.THEY LEAVE WAY TO MANY OPENINGS AND WILL EVENTUALLY GAS OUT SO IF YOUR NOT CAUGHT AND KNOCKED OUT YOU WILL RUN OUT OF STEAM AND BE TKOD
