So you must not be a Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, or Roy Jones fan either....Cause all three of those guys are careful defense oriented and do not like to take chances.......At least Wlad KO's most of his opponents....
You cant compare Wlad to those 3. He is a heavyweight and usually has a big physical advantage over his opponents because there is no max. size a heavyweight needs to be. Those other guys fought within a limit. Plus all those guy would put blazing combination together and mix it up with their opponents.
i agree that can't really compare Wlad to the 3 mentioned, but him being a HW has nothing to do to it, yea he has a big size advantage, but that's still against guys that can crack anyone with a single shot, so i have no prob with cautious heavies, only thing i can't stand is if they don't engage period, like Ruiz, Wlad still gets the knockouts, can't expect him to go to war every time out, and still have the level of success he's had, and last very long either, he's a good champion

i remember an article i read and it pretty much sums it up pretty well, fighters like Wlad probably wont be appreciated until he's long gone, he takes on the best possible opponants out there, is willing to take on anyone, and 9 times out 10 he knocks them out, give the guy a break
