    I agree, but they use a far wider variety of skills which make watching them more pleasing to the eye. Personally I would pay to watch anyone. But when its a guy with the dimensions, skills and power to destroy opponents and doesn't....well that just leaves a bad taste with me.

    Yes they use wider variety of skilsl , because they don't have physical advantages over most of their opponents . Btw when wlad fights guys that he can't overpower or as tall or taller than him,he use his boxing skills , in other words he's not as boring in fights with tall and and strong fighters like wach, thompson, austin and long time ago Mccline. While pre steward Wlad was pretty exciting, wlad of today is boring.

    I was actually a big fan of per Steward Wlad, and overall you make a good point. Its just a matter of personal preference. I want my heavyweights to be wrecking machines, on the attack looking to turn the lights out with every punch. Sadly the division really hasn't had a guy like that in some time. Does that mean I don't think Wlad is great? Absolutely not. Unfortunately there are poster(s) on here who think my opinions are based not on taste, but race.

    "coming in with his head down"


    LOL

    Povetkin did nothing illegal hes allowed to duck or slip wlads punches

    IN some rounds Wlad did 20 clinches

    He feinted then clinched in the 12rd

    He worked hard to get that clinch in.

    According to Dan Rafael a few days ago, HBO may be showing the Wlad-Pulev fight on Nov 15.
