He still throws his punches with good technical skill, but that style that Sdunek trained him in was exactly the way Boytsov fights today, it's an action packed style, lots of power punches but you leave yourself open for counters. The problem with the style is that it didn't get Wladimir to use his physical advantages when appropriate.

If Wlad still had his same old style I think there are a number of fights that would have either ended quicker (Rahman, Chagaev, Ibragimov) or Wlad would have lost (Thompson [he would have tired out by the 12th] and maybe Sam Peter...although if Wlad poured on the punches he may have stopped Sam)

I always wondered how Bruno would have done vs some different fighters of his era: Bowe, Holyfield, Moorer, Mercer, Morrison, and Ruddock. Doubt Frank wins many of those but he would have made them interesting
