For the reasons I stated before, it is my personal opinion that he's going to be slightly shortchanged in public opinion when all is said and done.
Is it more important to win fights or fans? Shortchanged in public opinion....yeah I'm sure that Wlad will cry himself to sleep every night on his bed of money which he shares with a young Hollywood actress....oh the horror that awaits him in retirement

As a boxing fan who presumably enjoys action-filled, exciting fights..... does it really matter to you one way or another whether Wlad has a bed of money or that he shares it with a young Hollywood actress? It's not like you're getting a commission..... Most of us couldn't give a rat's ass what Wlad's lifestyle is, or will be after he retires. I only care about the way he fights.


Wlad was only ONE OF the Greats, not THE Greatest....he threw it all away because he wouldn't fight in a style that shortened his career and gave his opponents a better opportunity to beat him.....he just threw it all away

Again..... are those my only two choices? Fight like a scared deer, protecting that glass chin...... or rush in recklessly in a way that will shorten his career?? So there's nothing in the middle?? Hmmm..... this boxing sport is weird, ain't it?

Arguments with you are fine, until you start treading that ridiculousness line.
Then it all goes to shit.
You completely missed the first point while stating EXACTLY the way Wlad feels...bravo, well done. The point being Wlad's the champion he's in the ring, he's the one with the belts, he's the one doing the fighting, why the hell should he give 1 single solitary damn about your opinion? Wlad packs stadiums without the help of these so called boxing fans you mention who "hate his style". Wlad will fight in the manner that best suits him and if you look at his record this style suits him just fine.


You're very quick to toss around that "fight scared" line ABOUT THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD....just sit back for a second and think about that. Think about a guy who has an Olympic Gold medal, has been champion multiple times, is the 3rd longest reigning heavyweight champion in the history of the sport, has stopped 53 fighters in 63 wins.....yet to YOU Wlad fights "scared".




.....do much professional boxing Titofan? Ever done any amateur boxing? If you have maybe you'll recall that it isn't the easiest thing to do. My point is we all have our strengths and weaknesses, and Wlad has learned about himself, maximized his strengths and limited his weaknesses and in doing so he has become one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the history of the sport.....all without your support...I know, it's truly shocking
