What happened to Wlad?

Wlad is old. He's paid his dues. I want him to ko Fury and retire. He has been through the ups and downs of the sport. He survived when many didn't think that he could including me. Win or lose he should retire. He's a HOF fighter and he's never ducked anyone. I would've loved to see the Sanders rematch but he's done enough for me and I was his biggest critic.

 

Biggest critic? .....really?

Obviously you've never read any of Dino's posts.

 

No. I think that he fought too cautious. Maybe he felt something early, didn't want to fight a phone booth fight, or just got outboxed. Whatever the case, he did lose, but he didn't look old in that fight. He's not a walk in on you type of fighter and that part of his game failed him which keeps him from becoming a complete fighter. He's still a very good boxer, but at all weights you need to be able to fight inside.

 

Everyone here knows that I used to **** on Wlad. Everyone.

But I'm a fair critic. I don't keep the hate going. I respect fighters too much.

 

He got old, he's been in decline since Pianeta for me.

But it wasn't just father time catching up with him. Fury posed a stylistic problem. Wlad is a jab and grab spoiler and for that to be effective you have to be able to get off first, something he can usually do with his size and speed. But against Fury he faced an opponent who was tall enough and agile enough to keep him out of position and unable to get off first.

 

:-huh Sure you don't but your Mama kept that backdoor open for Ali and his BIG HANDS:rofl:deal
:smh:smh

 

Agree 100%!

 

Exactly.:good

 

Wlad not being able to beat Lewis Ito doesn't have Jack to do with anything. They never fought so you're just giving your **** opinion as usual alt. Wlad won early in this sport, lost badly and then reigned. Yeah we hated it, but we respected it regardless of how he fights. Trying to cheapen that mans career to the low point of Fraudley Harrison shows how much of a clueless **** rider you are alt.

 

father time:smoke

 

Bullsh*t nallege....you were always his biggest d*ckrider...

 

How would you know when you only have 500+ posts?:rofl. I really get on you clowns nerves.

That's how you can tell how phony you alts are. You know mofo's before you're banned or before your original accounts gets ****ted on, and forget that you know posters and say some clown **** to give yourselves away under your alts.

 

Lewis was good. Real good. Probably the best heavyweight fighter in history, I'd bet my money on Lewis beating any heavyweight in history.

 

I agree the first fight was hard to understand


how he did not wake up and become more assertive, after 12 rounds of seeing the fight slip away

He did finally get a little more aggressive in the last round but that was too little too late, obviously But then again he has so much power one shot is all it takes


Needless to say, I am very interested in seeing how he handles himself in the rematch..... this is going to be good

 

As everyone has been saying, he got old.

His fight against Jennings is proof enough of that. It was one of his closest fights in like a decade, and Jennings just isn't good enough to justify that.

While I think Fury is truly great, he also just got pretty (un)lucky with facing Wlad right as he was becoming shot.
