you guys are fooling yourself if you dont think wlad is a hard puncher i see people disagreeing with that wlad is a top 5 atg puncher... so wlad doesn't have alot of punching power... he doesn't hit hard i swear... people just get stupider
Can't be sure if this is a troll thread or not, but I think it is safe to say there have been more than 5 harder punchers at heavyweight than Wlad. Off the top of my head I can come up with Tyson, Foreman, Louis, Shavers, Cooney, Frazier, Tua, Ibeabuchi, Marciano, Liston Might not even be top 5 of this century - Tua, Ibeabuchi, Peter, Maskaev, Lennox, Tyson, Sanders..
He's obviously a heavy handed fighter but he won't be ranked highly when his career is said and done. Taking so many rounds to get rid of Rahman and never hurting Haye will affect his record a lot. Both of these have big problems taking shots and Wlad didn't do what most big punchers would.
I agree he gets overrated, his reputation precedes what he actually did with his talent. He wasn't always committed to his boxing and wasted his talent. However, we saw what he was capable of against Wlad. Can't deny he wans't a big puncher.
