People dog Wlad for a number of reasons, he's not American, he's not British, and he's not Mike Tyson....Lennox Lewis caught all that crap during his prime too, he's got no chin, he's boring, blah blah blah but only after he left the division people started to really appreciate him.

Wlad can be compared to a lot of guys in boxing AND even some in MMA, Lyoto Machida caught a bunch of crap for staying at distance and refusing to "mix it up"...but isn't that the sport the sweet science Hit and most importantly DON'T GET HIT....Wlad is a dominant heavyweight champion and beyond that he's a great ambassador of the sport.

People who think Wlad should take more risks and go for the kill and just all around hate on the guy need to accept the reality that Wladimir is a very professional, very skilled, and very smart fighter and he's going to be n the driver's seat of the division for a long time.
