Other than "Wlad is a brilliant champion" I agree with everything you said.

Haye IS a blown-up HW, but you wouldn't know it judging by his mouth. He's got the mouth of a super HW. Fury, on the other hand, IS a real HW so I'm expecting more from him. If, after all this talking, it's another rerun of Wlad's lousy defenses... I'm through with HW until Wlad retires. I can't take any more of these false hopes.

BTW, the reason I disagree about Wlad is, regardless of how likable he might be, or how great his record is... I just honestly dislike most of his fights. It's always a battle of who's more scared to get hit.... Wlad or his opponent. Fortunately for Wlad, it's up to the challenger to come forward and take the crown from him. If they choose not to, Wlad's not one to press the issue. Tough fighter to watch, really.
