    Vlad fights carefull but he fight great behind the jab and has great tools and offence. Ali lacked power and was a sucker for a hook, Marciano had a short reach, Frazier got hit too much and burnt out with a short career, Dempsey rusted out because he was not active,Lewis lacked recupritive power once really wacked,Liston quit in the big ones, Tyson never got off the fllor to win, Holmes was a sucker for a well timed right hand, Vlad is not superman but has improved. I do not think Vlad is as loose as his brother in the ring, he is rather stiff,tense but he has beaten some solid guys. Who will emerge, who can beat him, he is beatable but has some very strong points and it will take a certain style to do it BUT will the man that beats him dominate the division

    Its because Sam peter is considered no.2 in the division and watch him on film, he looks like Butterbean with muscles. The fact that a former MW overweight Toney arguably beat the no.2 in the division proves this.

    Lewis dominated his division but names like Tua, Ruddock, Bruno, Holyfield would still beat all the 2nd tier fighters at HW today, -Wlad. I mean would anyone pick Sam Peter over David Tua or Ike Ibeabuchi?
