    He has been into 58 fights as a heavyweight, and also several as an amateur. If he was petrified of being hit he would probably have aimed for another occupation. Dont you agree with me on that one?

    Occasionally it seems like Wlad is no good when it comes to having tear ups. If that was your real point I am fast to agree with you. However, having tear ups as a heavywight is probably a bit harder compared to lower weight divisions, and that might be the reason to why we see less wars in it.

    Am I missing something here - why do people keep calling him "Vlad"?

    Is it some sort of nickname or something?

    His name is Wladimir no?

    Like shud ye not be calling him Wlad?

    Are you saying that he doesn't look like a deer in the headlights when someone gets close and lands a few shots or flusters him? In short, do you deny what you see with your own eyes?

    Finally someone makes this point. If you are knocked down once hard and manage to get up there is a good chance you'll get knocked down again right after (especially if there is a lot of time left in the round). If Wlad simply went to sleep after the first KD in the Sanders fight he'd have 3 less KDs on his record.

    BTW, I think Wlad has an average chin at best. It is clearly one of his weak points. I agree Lewis had a better chin.

    its in wlads best interest no to be hit by big shots. when he does it seems he takes it exceptionally bad.

    i dont think the shots the knock him down wouldnt knock down a lot of other guys. but its the way he cant get it together after getting up which makes it dangerous for him. his legs turn to complete jelly.

    It's in every HW's best interest not to be hit by big shots....unfortunately when you fight in a competitive era you have to take them and overcome the opponent.

    WALDO is in such a crap era he can just jab and grab and dominate, the likes of Frazier and Norton weren't so lucky and neither were Lewis or Holyfield.

    WALDO is a white Frank Bruno, every time he gets hit with something big he turns into a robot. Luckily for him there aren't many around to chin check him right now.
