Why retire? Yes, Emanuel has developed Wlad to the level he is on today, but he is so professional in everything he does, and i think he can reign the HW divisoin for at least a cople of years to come even without Manny. I don't think he will retire, and i also think he is highly motivated to just beat the hell out of Wach to show himself, and the world that he can go on even witout Manny.
wlad prepared for david haye with his father on his death bed.he has also came back from the ground..his mentality is great... tho i wouldnt be surprised if the fight was postponed out of respect for manny..tho im sure thats not what manny would have wanted.we all know what manny would want wlad to do..let them hands go more ladimir
It was Manny that got him through the first Peter fight, Wlad's confidence was not high then and the fight could definitely have went against him. Manny got him through to the win, the win that he's built a legacy on since. Wlad has improved vastly since then but I do wonder if mentally he will be focused. Wach is somewhat of an unknown quantity, he is hugely powerful and bigger than Wlad so any slip up might be costly.
Is that what Steward would have wanted? I doubt it. Like a father, Steward would have wanted Wlad to go on and shine for a few more years as long as his abilities are close to their peak.
Wladimir is going to smash on Wach, I just hope he pulls out another highlight reel knockout for Emanuel's memory.
Yes that would Steward want Wlad to do. I cannot imagine Wlad without Steward in his corner. It will be a very very sad fightnight. But Wlad will win and honour Emanuel Steward.
You can't imagine Wlad without Manny in his corner but that doesn't mean Manny wouldn't want Wlad to continue on his quest. It's downright ridiculous to think Manny would prefer all his fighters retired the day he passed away.
i think she agrees with ya.manny would want him to continue.. im guessing she is worried though wlad will not be the same without manny there... manny is a teacher..he taught wlad to become what he is..he isnt going to fold now..this could make wlad more determined to go on and complete a goal which manny was a huge part of..wladimirs goals will only make mannys legend that bigger..if it could even get any bigger that is...
