    I sometimes wonder how Wladimir would be viewed if he were from/based in different countries. Some countries seem to have a specific grudge against him.

    What do you think ESB?

    No doubt he'd have his fanboys just like Price and Fury do, both of whom are vastly over-rated (especially Fury), but then a majority of Brits would not accept the opposition Wlad consistently chooses. Look at the **** Calzaghe gets, some of his biggest critics are British.

    David Price has less than 20 fights and we already see the Brits gurgling down his balls. Imagine having a British Wlad, the amount of **** talk that the Brit's would give to American's and the rest of Europe would be astounding.

    I don't wont to take the role of the Klitards but he is facing the best available opposition out there so the comparison with Calzaghe is not very accurate.

    When your best available opponent is 39 year old Jean-Marc Mormeck, you're not really trying hard enough.

    If he were British the Brits would be saying he was top 2 ATG at Heavy, if he were from the USA the Americans would be calling him top 3 ATG at heavy.

    to your credit that fight was terrible. An honest commission should not have allowed it! He's fight with Wach is a step back too. A part from that he is facing the best opposition out there or mandatories
