    For a big guy like him... when one of his most dangerous traits is the speed in which he delivers his power... when do you think he will start to slide? hes not young anymore... and im fearing that with as little as he fights (same with all fighters) he will start declining sooner rather then later.

    The question is, who looks like exposing it should it happen?

    He is still young and has alot to be motivated about (unification). After he truly cleans out the division, expect to see a decline sometime after.

    I am purely guessing, but I see him being just like Lennox and not truly decline until the late 30's.

    I say this because Wlad is a young 31 in that he has taken very, very little punishment and he has never shocked his body because he has always stayed in shape.

    Yes, he will lose some speed, but he always hits with a thud.

    you give him hope... your right that he never, for all we know, abuses his body and all that...

    It could be in two, three, four or five years.

    He's young in a weak division.

    Even if declines soon, he'll have the goods to carry on in the division unless the new superstar arises.
     
  10. Wlad isn't like Lewis, Wlad is always in shape. Wlad will dominate the HW division in such a way people will be talking about him for years to come.

    Wlad is not that old..his only 31 and just achieving his prime. Lennox prime was around age of 35...

    Wlad, glass jaw aside, is still learning and getting seasoned. With the current state of the division, he's going to be a player for years to come , even if he does crash and burn again. Wlad never takes sustained beatings , instead he gets knocked loopy. But he always comes back, and improves. He'll be around for another 6 or 7 years, unless the division improves a lot quickly. But thats unlikely.

    It sounds as if he's invincible. Didn't most people think that of Tyson as well...and then came Buster

    My guess is he is gonna lose within a year, year and a half max and start his decline.

    Thing is, I think he's already had those kinds of setbacks in his 3 losses. People already thought he was done after Sanders, and again after Brewster, but yet he's shown the resolve to come back a better, smarter fighter. He's had his Buster Douglas, and overcame it.

    He's now fulfilling his potential and is on his way to building a genuine legacy, and I'm not sure anyone's going to beat him over the next few years, even if a handful could do it given the right circumstances.

    Wlad does not have a glass jaw. He has never been knocked out cold. He has always risen from knockdowns in his loses. The reason he almost never gets hit is because he is so superior to his opponents. A focused Wlad is close to unbeatable and I think he is focused now more than ever.
