    I honestly thought last night was his best career display, he put on constant pressure, moved so well and was ruthless in the finishing. A man of 38 and still getting better. Maybe Wlad will be here for years yet.. :happy

    He did get rocked in the first though. Makes you wonder if someone will do the trick again.

    If somebody with power did that rocking, he'd be knocked out cold.

    If he keeps on fighting Bulgarian cab drivers he can go past Hopkins.

    Put him in with a 20 year old Tyson and he might grow a lisp and quit.

    he looked good, i enjoyed the fight. as far as boxing iq goes, yes he is at his peak, but he is a few years removed from his physical peak.

    wlad is clearly past his prime. thats impressive how he is still beating top contenders like povetkin and pulev.

    imo he slowed down a little bit and his defense is getting worse. also he starts breathing way more heavily earlier than in the last fights.

    but he is still better than everyone. he will completly destroy fury, jennings and stiverne (dont worry, stiverne will ktfo wilder).

    He is at his peak. Vitali was at his peak when he was 40.

    No he's past his best. While he did look good last night he was against an opponent that's style suited his and even then Wlad did get hit with a few clean right hands that he may have avoided a few years ago.
