exactly: occasionally there are genetic monsters, usually why they are in the position where they are..i.e. world champions at something. the chess world champion isn't dodgy dave from down the nags head, he is a fella who has shown genius level intelligence from a young age and it has been cultured all his life. Wlad looks like a tank because he is a tank. someone posing for a photo and having a mid workout photo are totally different things.. anyone heard of a pump from training? someone with wlads level of muscularity and bodyfat will look ridiculous after a workout. remember that picture of haye where he looked ridiculous too? everyone screamed roids, but at the weigh in he looked softer...probably because he wasnt straining to tense for a photo and hadnt also just finished a workout. Why would a boxer like wlad juice up in between fights only to lose the muscle mass for the fight? a seasoned juicer knows how to keep the muscle on after a cycle so why would anybody put on just to lose it again. from action pictures during wlads fights you can clearly see the vascularity and size we see in these pictures. He is merely blessed with the genetics of a champion.
wlads is a heavier jab........ kubrats is faster and sharper and cuts u up= im just wondering how wlad will react to a guy neer his size whos hungry fights guys bigger than him is only 31 yrs old(wlads going on 38)....no doubt wlad has the heavier jab and is easily the harder puncher/ but kubrats jab is fast as fuk...cuts u up....and he does everything off the jab...he lives by the jab....
If I had to guess, I'd say he was on something. I hate to say that too, because I like the guy. I think Marquez was on something when fighting Pacquiao, also. If I recall correctly, Wlad says he doesn't do anything in between training camps and gains all of his muscles in those few months before a fight. I don't know, it's just hard to believe. His stomach looks a bit like "hgh gut" in some pictures. It's a fishy time in boxing, and you have to assume anyone who isn't taking blood tests is likely cheating. Sad, but true.
Mapquest is your friend, it's Southeast of Raleigh. As far as muscle recovery, a healthy person doesn't need juice, and by all accounts Wlad lives a very clean life. I know some of the closest people to Wlad and they have no reason to lie. Was Mike Tyson on Roids? He didn't look nearly as large as he became right? Mike was ripped too, but naturally gifted, just as Wlad is. Get over the jealousy. Where's the hate for Toney, who tested postive TWICE? As a pro no less!!! The same folks that complain about Vitali using a steriod to heal injury faster AS AN AMATEUR give Toney a free pass, I wonder why?
Seems to have one of the hardest hitting jabs of all time right? Juss sayin'.................. Too much mass can slow a fighter down bigtime, I agree. Wlad is just cut though, low body fat with some mass obviously.
If any of you have been paying attention the last few years against the bigger opponents Wlad bulks up a little and goes for power. Against the smaller guys he goes for speed and movement. The best he looked to me was for the Ray Austin fight. He was huge and shatter Austin's Glass Jaw without even using his best weapon. When you take your craft seriously like all Pro Athletes should you look the part. Nothing unusual about that.
