Biggest problem concerning Wlad is that he lacks the will to win, the fire

Nope, he is just really old and shot.

Lots of great champions in the past (Almost all of them) had that fire. The backbone of a boxer that can lift them when the going gets tough. You believe in your training and you depend on that and your heart/determination/will to get you through dire situations

But when you watch Wladimir, you don't get that. You see some guy very scared of being hit, throws nothing, tries to set up that perfect shot . If it doesn't work, he'll continue trying those very very safe tactics until it does and that's what costed him all of his belts. Fury was so awkward in there and nothing Wlad did that night was working.

He was just waiting and waiting and waiting and losing round after round after round. As soon as he looked up, he was down 6-1 on the scorecards at least. The lack of urgency also plagued him.

I can't think of any champion in the past who will watch his belts leave like that without putting up a fight. :think

He's a great boxer, we all know that!! But the lack of a determination, fire, will to win is simply the reason as to why I never thought he could beat Fury!!!

I knew Fury was going to give him massive troubles with the size/strength/length. Never for one moment did I believe Wlad was going to win that fight!!! :deal

very astute. had wlad fought even two more rounds like he did the 12th, he'd have stopped fury.
