But it's not in him, is it? He has a safety first, get the job done attitude. Understandable to a degree as he struggles with pressure and has shown he can't take a hard punch very well. He is fighting in a division where he is head and shoulders above everyone bar his brother, so would he gain a bit more respect from the "haters" if he was a bit more ruthless?
watching some of his earlier fights, I thought Wlad was a killer now, he justs gets in the ring and used his intelligence more than power to win
Safety first with a chin like that. Wlad can't afford to be cracked on the jaw, because one to many is leading up to a KO.
Smartest fighter in the game. Doesnt even get hit and keeps packing staduims and making money and he can keep fighting for years and years man
He was blowing fighters out in brutal fashion earlier in his career.. He has become a more patient, intelligent and careful fighter under Steward
He's still a stone cold killer with 50 KO's, many of them highlight reel sleepy time KO's, like the shocking KO's of Austin, Chambers or Thompson. You can mix in a few brutal beatings too like the Brock KO or the Byrd multi knockdown fight. Sorry if I find that entertaining and you don't........:bbb
