Reg my post doesn't defend Wlad, and you wont find any that do on my behalf. I hated his performance. And no Floyd hasn't fought like that. But he specificaly said that heavies are expected to go to war. Thats my dispute. There is a clear double standard.
His performance was completely lacking....power! He has it and didn't show what he has got. Therefore, it was not a good performance when it mattered the most.
Where is that limitless supply of tough big strong fast American Athletes at? every decade we had guys who were inspiring and daring to be great guys like Holyfield. I cant believe we have to settle for this stiff, yes he looks ripped and awsome but the truth is the guy is ponderous. I wish there was an ALi out there who would box circles around this guy and KO his ass in about 8. Vlad is a modern day Jess Willard, we just need to find a Jack Demsey somewhere to restore my faith in heavyweight boxing as I no longer care.
