I wish Jack Johnson was alive

My point is not that Wlad is a hall of fame fighter, but I dont understand how you can dog him for not having killer instinct but than talk about how great Floyd Mayweather and B Hop are. I can understand if you are a fan of Erik Morales, Barrerra or Pac Man, then i can see why you dog Wlad, cause you like guys that go in and try to knock people out. Floyd and B Hop never try and knock people out and for the most part have speed, experience, and skill on their side.

Like I said earlier in the thread, Wlad gets more crap than he deserves, I think he's an excellent fighter, however his opposition is average at best, and that's why people would like to see him take more risks and do a bit more against said opposition. Floyd & B-Hop when fighting weaker opposition pretty much always took them out well or beat them solidly. Wlad does beat them well, but unfortunately he never does things that really make the fan sit back in amazement, such as PBF did against Hatton in the 8th & 10th or B-Hop against Pavlik with the bolo punches in round 7, 8 & 12, and it's a shame because he's more than capable. I don't blame him for fighting the way he did against Chagaev, who is a good enough boxer to warrant that, but against an old shot Rahman & Ibragimov it is a bit unwarranted. I want to see a Haye fight partly because I think it will drag him out of his shell & show just what a good fighter he is
