    What does that mean?

    No Heavy hits harder than Wlad with either hand & no one is as accurate either.

    Is that what you meant?

    His counter punching has improved some, but against Iggy I seen very little of it, or very little of anything for that matter. The jab and grab style is still his bread and butter, he knows that works for the first 5 or 6 rounds, and then after that his comfort level is up and his oppenents his hands are usually down, he takes advantage of them. So in other words, Wlad beats the life out of his oppenents for the first half of the fight, and then finishes the job generally by the 7th or 8th round.

    He could beat Haye if he keeps his cool and doesn't get rattled early on, like he did against other big punchers like Peter and Sanders. He needs to establish his jab early and keep in firing range for big straight right, with Haye's chin he may have an early night. I think Wlad's got the advantages in this one, he just got to play it safe with Haye if wants to win.

    FW: My respect for you has gone up tonight, thanks for saying what you did with the crow and all. I must admit you've gotten under my skin... you say a lot of what you do to irritate the unrealistic Wlad fans but it got to me too although I try really hard to be as realistic as Punisher (he's more knowledgable than me for sure). I'm sorry I got mad at you although I only said something once.

    Since we're all making apologies and whatnot. :D

    Fair points but let's not make like Brock wasn't a heavy puncher, did you see that KO vs. Lawrence? KO of the year right there................and THompson had just KO'd Krasniqi who is a good, but old & shop worn, boxer.

    Seriously though, your lack of expertise when it comes to insults tells us all we need to know about you.

    I dont think Brock's that big of a puncher, but his knockout of Lawrence was something else, right up with the Peter left hook on Williams or the hook Wlad caught Brock with. You must remember, Lawrence has been knocked out by everyone decent in his career, guys like Iggy, Rahman, Brock etc... As far as Thompson is concerned, the guy is not a big puncher by any means, he beat up Luan Krasniqi, who hasn't knocked him out lately? Once Brewster shattered his jaw back in late 05, it seems like any decent fighter can do it.
