What would it take to make Wlad have a fight ?

The guy is one of the most boring, cowardliest HW i can ever remember. He's utterly petrified of getting hit. Watching such a massive giant behave like such a complete coward is embarrassing

 

WALD is first and foremost a technical boxer. He works behind his jab and opens up with his left hook and overhand right if openings present themselves. If someone runs like a HAEY did for 12 rounds he'll pursue and be the "aggressor" but he's not going to go wild and go for the KO. Funny thing is that boxers at lower weight classes are called "smart" and are "practicing the sweet science" for fighting this way but WALD is "scared."

Clearly, the guy does not have a great chin. But he has 49 KOs in 56 wins, so obviously he comes forward to a degree. The only fights I can recall him winning without scoring a KO have been like last Saturday, when his opponent literally ran away relentlessly and was clearly trying to bait him into getting sloppy and landing one or two big punches. WALD is not stupid enough to get caught in that game. I think his chin is better than he realizes, but he freezes up when he gets tagged, so he's willing to eek out a decision. He should've KO'd HAEY after 5-6 rounds but was content to win a decision

 

For Wlad its basic instinct not to trade unless he really needs it.

 

What is it with you UK fans acting like absolute tools following a horrific showing of your own? Wlad is a BOXER, open up on him and he'll beat the **** out of you think Chagaev, shell up like the pathetic fool Ibragimov and Haye and he'll pull a sweet science on you.

What part of BOXER you people don't understand? It's not a puzzle to solve, 'boxer' means boxer. Wlad will have a fight when someone finds a way to take away the boxing so he'll have to dig deep, and that was supposed to be Haye according to you. So what is it with you UK people that after your boy failed, you open up a million Klitschko-critique threads?

We already knew Wlad's quality coming into this fight, now we found out Haye's.

 

hard to say he is very cautious by nature, i think you have gotta find a way inside and drag him out of the comfort zone, i cant see him ever going smokin joe on somebody

 

Did you really bring up Hopkins? He has had more wins where he looked like garbage than just about any "major" fighter I can think of. And he looked even worse in his losses to Calzaghe and Taylor

 

I don't post in threads I don't read, but did u read my post? Apparently not because I answered your question.

I said Wlad is a BOXER, he'll be in a fight when someone succeeds taking the fight to him, if not he'll box his way through with the excitement depending on YOU, if you present a defensive fight he'll school you, if you open up you'll get brutally beaten down and stopped. Technicians don't go all in, 'baddest man on the planet' is nothing but a label, once in the ring there are STYLES and Wlad's style is BOXER. Yes he could've opened up more on Chambers but no, it would've been foolish to open up on Haye who was waiting for that (not doing much else), so he went on schooling his ass.

This is sweet science, and Wlad is pretty awesome at it.

 

Maybe Wlad CAN'T create openings like aggressive fighters do because he's a boxer? He works off the jab and if opportunity and opening comes, he throws the left hook and right hands as well, brutal KO, search youtube for them. If the opponent doesn't bring the intensity, it's a clear, controlled fight. I'm not particularly excited about his technical style either, but I move on and live with it, where you should accept the lack of intensity of the opponents part let is be fast and explosive Haye isn't Wlad's fault. I prefer Vitali over Wlad anyways, but that's a completely different style.

 

Nothing at all

What you have to realise is that boxing is a business of hitting and not being hit

Its not the WWE, it's not for entertainment. The objective of the game is to land punches against your opponent and not get any yourself

With his height and reach adavantage, why should Wlad risk being reckless?

Stay behind his jab and use his height and reach to bore viewers to sleep while he picks up the win.

Real shame for boxing fans who want exciting fights however
