    I'm with u on this,ive said it for years.
    Just when he throws a punch,move out the way then keep hitting him in the head,it's the perfect strategy against wlad

    i think step back and uppercut, its quite odd none of wlads opponents have tried uppercutting.

    Step back check left hook.
    Brook did it to Porter all fight last year. No **** beating Wlad to the punch would work, if that was the case he wouldn't be going for the clinch.

    There are mostly too small and/or are as limited as he his. This is why the division has been rank.

    Actually a side step then a jab and then firing a straight right (or left for a southpaw) down the pipe would be good. Only person I saw try this was Sanders.

    Try to close distance behind a jab etc.
    Jennings was at times just bullrushing him head down right into his stomach.

    I found Wlad clinching excessively vs Povetkin, but vs these kind of tactics not sure what else to do.

    Don't dive into his waistline or chest because you can't
    fight him correctly. You'll never see him clinch again.
    It's why we NEVER see Wlad clinching against fighters
    his own height. It's also why you'll see Wilder and Fury
    both get brutally KO'd. Wlad has no challengers, only
    envious and racist haters.

    Pulev would constantly throw weak punches to the backish of the head in the clinching situations to discourage Wlad from clinching (I suppose) which proved to be inefficient.

    There was this video with a boxer dropping his cell phone during the fight. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZlgwtrBKfE

    I dont imagine you can bring a mini taser to the ring to shock Wlad whenever he goes into "missed you so much" mode? Like this one https://s3.amazonaws.com/law-media/uploads/131/7815/large/img-stun-gun.jpg?1383084885

    That'd work though.
