In the Sam Peter fight Wlad was still getting used to a new style of boxing due to his new trainer Manny Steward and he was lacking confidence at the time as well....that fight came probably when Wlad's confidence was near the lowest of his career: Loss to Sanders, loss to Brewster, uninspired TD vs Williamson where he was badly cut and knocked down....and he comes out gets knocked down 3 times (with questionable punches) but gets up each time and DOMINATES Sam Peter.

I don't care if you don't think Wlad is the greatest or if you don't think he's exciting but he is THE talent in the heavyweight division and as good as other fighters are (and there are some solid ones out there) Wlad is head and shoulders above them.


.....also why the hell would Wlad allow Eddie Chambers on the inside? It makes no damn sense, it's Wlad's 81" reach vs Eddie's 75" reach and Wlad LOVES to fight on the outside so why the fuck would he allow for holding? And it ain't like Eddie is a bull in there cutting off the ring and stalking down his opponent. So I'll just tell you the clinching isn't going to happen and hasn't really been an issue since the Peter fight so drop it
Lyle, your second paragraph mate!! Just because you've banned yourself from saying his name doesn't mean he doesn't exist
