I honestly believe that if Wlad was not allowed to hug every 12 seconds without penalty, he would have gotten knocked out several times during his run.
He would have been a champ because he is big, skilled and fueled by "German sports science"

but he sure as hell wouldn't have gridlocked the HW division for so long.
And drug testing has been a joke in boxing for a long time. If you've never been tested by USADA, you haven't been drug tested. The "tests" that Wlad did are little more than a formality.
It's true Wlad never failed a drug test... but then again, neither did Lance Armstrong! So I'm sure he's clean too... oh wait!
