Vlad doesn't have to fight anyone's style but his own. Then again the "haters" as you group, them don't really have to try to see the virtues that the fans jocking him are trying to push either, do they. It doesn't really matter either way.
It's obvious he's not trying to impress us and as the fans laying down money for fights and the people in charge of the remote, we sure as hell arent seeking his approval. The matinees from Germany can continue and the fans won't beg for the fights to be on prime time. He can hang on to the belt and make his contributions to boxings dwindling popularity till there is someone or something worth watching. Fans that miss heavyweights from bygone eras will just pop in dvd's of their favorites or change the channel to catch rebroadcasts of the UFC where 2 guys will leave it all in the ring. He and boxing the way it exists now, will run out of money/options/fighters long before the fans run out of things to watch.
