Wlad has been a Great for a while now...people will start to begrudgingly give him more and more credit as his career winds down the same way Lennox Lewis was only starting to get appreciated at the end of his career.

Sure the heavyweight division (and boxing in general) is full of guys who care more about the 0 than anything else. But here's the downside....keep that 0 and maybe you never get tested, maybe you never learn the faults in your style until it's too late, maybe you never improve, maybe you aren't getting fully prepared for The Champion...and you see it all over Pulev....the lack of class he showed Wlad outside the ring, the foolishness he showed IN the ring trying to mock Wlad after Wlad knocked him down right away...The Sauerland's got in Kubrat's head, they had him thinking this was going to be easy and Wlad was a chump....no such luck.

Fights are taking place that are better for the division Wilder-Stiverne, Fury-Chisora II, but these challengers need to be consistent in training and in the ring or else Wlad will just dismantle them like he's done to everyone else in the division for the past 10 years
