Why does Everybody give Wlad so much Slack?

I agree and I work for the guy so of course Im a HUGE fan as well.

Over zealous fans can be found with ANY boxer.

To dislike, hate, or discredit the accomplishments of a fighter because of his fans is ridiculous and wrong IMO

 

Oh yeah, by clinching 97 times, going into a few panic attacks, and turning his back to his oppenent on occasion resulting in Sam Peter hitting him on the back of the head? Yeah he really looked tough in that fight let me tell you, he fought life and death with 25 yearold extremely green Sam Peter. His brother Vitali beat a more polished Sam Peter like he was nothing, it's no wonder why everyone thinks Vitali's the better of the two.

Wlad's personailty is way too dull to get the average boxing fan's attention, thats why his name is not that well known in america and rarely gets any coverage on ESPN. I much rather have a Haye type personality, someone who demands your attention and doesn't mind backing it up in the ring.

 

Surely. That doesn't mean it won't happen or continue to happen in the future.

Everyone has their favorites and of course, we're defensive of them. Point is when you're THAT defensive, you should understand that it comes with the territory. Some guys need to learn to disconnect a litte...the reason Wlad bash threads go on for days is because Wlad fans go the ends of the earth to try and defend him. Again, every fanbase does this...but understand that when you show that sort of attachment, people are gonna rip on it.

 

I never once said Wlad was a bad guy, it's his lack of toughness at the top ranks and boxing style I dont like. Wlad's personality is similar to what he does in the ring, which is him being boring.

 

I like Wlad... BUT HIS FANS ARE CRAZY WITH THERE COMMENTS N ALL!

 

Why does everyone give him so much slack? Huh? People DON'T give him any slack.

 

To be fair though I don't think anyone watches Wlad to see an engaging persona, they do it because he's the most dominant champion in the division right now. Dominance is often boring...especially when you're THAT far ahead like Wlad is. Expecting some sort of personality dynamo is a tad unfair.

 

He just needs some decent opponents.. something the HW division is sorely lacking in these days. Not his fault, but it's a fact that he doesn't fight anyone on his level. Maybe someday, but not anytime soon IMO.

 

:gsg
back to this **** again
Peter is a rabbit puncher no matter what you say. you know it, I know it, we all know it:deal

 

well said.
and i do agree some fans are over the top. nothing Wlad can do about it...so stop hating (not you...just making a point):good

 

This is exactly what im talkin bout...Klitchko fans say the same **** over and over..They make excuses for erything..:bart How come Purrity, Brewster, and Sanders beat Wlad??

There biggest answer to that question is "Well ur a hater cuz u only bring up his 3 losses"...suck his di34 while u at it!

 

I think Emanuel Steward said it best, he throws punches from awkward angles, that sometimes meet their mark on the back of the head. Wlad is no angel himself, excessively clinching, laying his 250 pound body on fighters backs during clinches, posting with his left hand. Alot fighters have illegal moves in their arsenal, in every contact sport your going to have fouls, it's just part of the game.

 

read my post dickhead.... this topic was talked to DEATH...thats what I ment. are you really going to tell me that Peter didnt rabbit punch?... yes Wlad turned his head, but not every time

I wasnt making excuses...I was saying that topic is OLD......

Relax and read buddy:good

 

I never said Wlad was right and Peter was wrong. but he is a rabbit puncher and you know it...I was commenting on...this topic again...punnisher..you know it was done to death...thats what i was referring to

 

Fair enough. Only once did I see him hit a man purposely with the rabbit punch, and that was against James Toney in their first fight. That was out of frustration, most of the time when he lands a punch on the back of the head, his fighter is either hurt or their trying to duck under Samuel punches.
