    Nah, he moves his feet well enough and can create some exceptional angles to maul and overpower his opponents.

    Plus he keeps his head off-line close up too when he comes in at you.

    In the Browne fight he really didnt get hit that much. That cut was a blatant headbutt but Browne failed to target it or make it worse.

    In the Dienes fight he looked stiff I agree but i put that down to rust, covid and other factors.

    Ali couldn't fight inside either. The 70s version gives Wlad a run in terms of excessive clinching.

    Yea but Ali was far from robotic especially in the 60's.

    Yes but he was still useless inside. He never really threw uppercuts and like Wlad he was taller than the vast majority of his opponents.

    Floyd. He is fast, not mobile or agile.
