It kind of goes to your statement in the other post, about people in the end really only wanting to see Wlad lose in the end because they are haters. Me personally; I don't think most members on here really want to see him lose so much as take those risks, especially when he is in a position to do so{and has the skill set}when the fight is all but over and it goes more rounds than necessary. It's kind of like seeing a Great White shark circling and pecking at a seal until it's just dead instead of just putting the lights out after the initial blow, due to past experiences of getting injured by one and having reservations. I know it's a horrible analogy but the only one my limited mind is capable of right now 
I actually think alot of people here want to get behind Wlad, because he has the tools to be an exciting heavyweight, yet gives off more the air of one who more increasingly has become timid. Or they just like pissing you off  |
Well I hate to disagree with your impression but there are a few guys who just won't accept Wladimir as champion and oddly enough some of those people were fans of a certain "pugilist specialist" at heavyweight who also had every physical advantage over his opponent and let's not forget how lackluster Lennox could look, great fighter, great heavyweight but he picked his spots too.
Legion, all I understand "you're as good as your last fight" and all that but Wlad has never gotten respect. He beat the undefeated Sam Peter and people whined and complained about holding and said Sam Peter was a limited fighter. Wlad KO's Chris Byrd, Calvin Brock, Ray Austin, and stops Lamon Brewster back to back to back to back and what respect does he get
It's not as if he was timid in those fights and he gets no props AT ALL.
But hey, you guys just continue on hating and wait for Wlad to lose, it'll be a while
