    A little harsh but I would not be surprised at all if this is closer to the truth than what many on here seem to believe he is,

    I still think a granite chinned workhorse would be his undoing. Not that there's many of them around at heavyweight, but as others have said, he does blow hard due to all that muscle mass after the midway point.

    Here's a question I have: Did he gas or was it just some nervous energy? He didn't seem tired in the Whyte or Breazeale fights. Also he came back very strong in the 11th round. This wouldn't be the case if he had gassed. What do you guys think?

    he gassed, punched himself out in the 5th round... took a break for 5 rounds, caught wlad in the 11th and stopped him... no way guys like tyson, bowe etc would let him off the hook after he got hurt and tired... wlad also got tired, he always had a bad stamina and was a bad finisher, lacks in punch variety and killer instict.

    Hold your horses on coronating this guy. He's already 27 and has had only 19 professional fights? Became a whisker away from being knocked out by 41 year old spent heavyweight and that don't worry he's still maturing into the big leagues.
    Sorry, something's not right here. Did you see the look on his face after that punch- that's the scariest I've ever
    seen and he knows deep down how scared he was- or maybe he can't remember. He was clocked.
    There are flaws here and chin and stamina are very difficult to teach.
