    Kobe admitted to using a dozen alts to vote for Wlad so it cancels out doesn't it?:huhThere will be others also

    People don't neccessarily pick a guy because they hate the opponent,maybe they just think he will win:think:huh

    I still think Vitali would hand Wlad a huge beatdown. And against the same opposition, Vitali is much better.

    I know i told you before but, you are a complete moron with you glass jaw obsession. Not even giving an aswer to the question asked by the ts. You see Haye's name and lost 99% of you brain capacities (wich are already way below average).

    I think Wlad gets little respect because


    1. He fights cautious while he always look able to dispatch most guys in 1 or 2 rounds.
    2. He's winning easy, wich tend to generate hate (Calzaghe, Mayweather). People seem to prefer guys who have to comeback sometimes and show heart.

    :ass :deal

    Wlad's bored people many times and that's whyy a lot of people don't like him.

    His fight with Ibragimov is one example of Wlad at his worst. :tired

    No way.

    Wladimir would outbox Vitali.

    Wladimir is the much better Champ. Making mandatories, unifies and stays aktiv. Much better resumé than Vitali.

    No way! Vitali will beat wlad everytime in the ring! Theres no way that wlad can stand vitalis punches! But vitali can take good shots! Wlad is possibly the complete and the technical better boxer but vitali is a hard warrior and thats the point!

    Agreed, but to this day Larry Holmes doesn't get the respect that alot of people think he deserves and Joe Louis' bum of the month club is still brought up in discussions.

    Wlad doesn't get the respect he's due for a very simple reason. That reason can be found in the demographic information of american fight fans. I haven't done the statistical research, but I'd be willing to bet the average american boxing fan is a relatively uneducated blue collar guy. That's where the problem lies, these American fans don't identify with a humble, respectable, well educated guy like Wlad. They identify with a cocky, brash, badass type of guy. It's really that simple and with that said, Wlad will never get the respect he deserves.
