Wlad has a great D??? Guess someone does not know what a D is. Wlad is a ponderous walking statue. Great smaller fighters would make him appear ridiculously slow.
Slow? Possibly. But D for defense, he's pretty damn solid. He RARELY gets hit clean. you can say it's because of his height but knowing how to probably use your physicality and "fight tall" is a skill in itself. his ability to create distance and his footwork are stellar and he controls every phase of every fight
There's this one guy I know on here, great boxing fan, but he vastly underrates Frazier and vastly overrates Volo. Even though at one time...
I'm no fan think he beats most, people pick punchers but allot of those smaller punchers wouldn't be able to exchange with Wlad or maybe wouldn't get past his jab I think he loses to Tyson, Lewis and probably Ali and Holmes, although I give him shots against them, the jabfest style suits him 50-50s - Bowe, Louis, Foreman, Holyfield I think he beats Vitali, Frazier, Marciano, Dempsey, Johnson, Walcott, Charles, Paterson and probably Liston Still if some of those guys had the benefits of modern nutrition/drugs/supplements maybe they do beat him, ie a 230lb Frazier on steroids, but that's too much speculation
Tokyo Tyson KO's Wlad The uppercut Tyson landed on Douglas would've literally two pieced his jaw and broken his neck I'm sorry but Tyson is the worst possible match up for him ... even the injured version of the Williams fight still conquers his soul and breaks his will
