I have mixed feelings on the guy. The Wlad that had not learned how to hold and clinch would have had a short life span in certain eras but the Wlad that learned how to apply those attributes from Manny is a different animal. Its probably the reason that he is encroaching on the longevity of Louis. I don't like the way he fights and find him and the division a bore fest but I think this version of Wlad is a problem in any era.
