Wlad is just an easy guy for them to promote and make money on so excuse me if I'm too smart to see through all that. He has the talent but no the chin or the heart and it shows by him having to hold a light hitting HW like Byrd.
..yes you're too smart to see that he held Byrd to not give him the angles he wanted. If you give a BOXER like Chris Byrd the angles then why even try to fight you won't be able to hit the guy!

Byrd has shorter arms, and is the shorter fighter this means that the closer he gets the more effective his punches are and the less effective Wlad's are...so is it WRONG to tie someone up on the inside?

The same F****** people who get on Wlad's a** for holding never seem to realize that not only Ali did it, not only John Ruiz does it...one IRON MIKE TYSON held on the inside after he threw his punches so he couldn't get countered now tell me how is that different? Evander Holyfield used it as well...I mean I can go on if you want me to but you idiots want to never give Wlad credit that's fine with me it just shows you know F*** all about boxing
You type like you're illiterate and I'm the idiot. You get mad every time I tell you the truth and get all worked up but just cause you get mad, that doesn't mean the truth is gonna stop being the truth. I know alot more about boxing than you do. I'm a fan of guys but when they're flaws come up in topic, I don't try to cover it up by quoting commentators and comparing them to all time greats. He is far from a great fighter. If you can't win without holding, you really do suck.
