Why is no-one talking about Wlad's chin or lack of movement?

    Wlad has all the movement he needs for his height. He is very difficult to hit flush these days. In proportion to his size, he is fast. Of course, people compare him to Ali or Tyson and think he is slow, ignoring the fact that at HW, there is a much wider variety of body types and speed and movement have to be correlated to height. If he had no movement, he would be like Tye Fields.

    Overall, Wlad is harder to hit than Haye.

    Of course he has a bad chin, thats pretty clear. His boxing ability and perfect use of range is simply on a whole different level to anyone he has fought in the last few years.

    as if you can't learn to slip a jab... something Haye's is very good at. Get past the jab and Wlad is there for the taking.

    I think Haye stamina may be a key factor. Haye is fast enough to keep himself safe,
    same with Wlad who can keep Haye at the distance with the jabs or clinch in close distance.
    So the fight may last a few rounds and then the first man who get tired go down ...
    that would only be Haye.

    when your 6'7 with a wing span over 80 inches, I don't think it matter to much that he doesn't move around so much , because there really no place in the ring he can't reach you with just a few steps.

    Wlad has a weak chin?
    Hmmm, knocked down 3 times by Peter and got up to win. I doubt that he has a weak chin or lack of heart.
    Watch his early fights and even the Mccall loss.
    Watch his other 2 losses and then go research Hep C. After you read up on that research Hollyfields time with Hep C and watch those fights. Would you look at that. They look like Wlads last 2 losses. Did Holly field have a weak chin?

    Lack of movement?
    He is 6-7 with what type of real reach? He side steps. Just so big if he took quick side steps he would move to far away. LOL
