    An absolutely magnificent athlete, always fit and well trained, a consummate professional, a good advert for the sport of boxing ......... but, no, not an exciting fighter. Doesn't 'let it all hang out', there is no drama or electricity when he fights (probably because he is so much better than his opponents)

    Bit like Jack Johnson really, easily the best and most dominant pro around and (maybe ironically) we are now clamouring for a Western black hope who will beat him !!!! Just to be controversial, there.

    He's not exciting but I like watching functional and simplistic fighters.
    I'm convinced that I am witnessing the zenith of sophistication.

    I admire his dominance. His fights aren't exciting but then that's because most of Wlad's fights are the warfare equivalent of America taking on the Faroe Islands. It's just a case of routinely taking down the key strategical centres, airfields, power grids (or in the Faroe Isles case, farms and fields) etc from the safety of an offshore aircraft carrier and waiting for the little country to surrender to the inevitable.

    If the country resists to the very end we might if we are lucky see the army going in to shoot the one remaning resister and plant a flag, but there are no tanks, infantry battles or anything exciting.

    A couple times in the past a brave submarine managed to torpedo the carrier early and win a famous victory but the sonar detection has so vastly improved now that the chances of one getting near are minimal.

    I'm guessing you wouldn't put out the money to see Wlad smash Haye on PPV?

    But since you are the master of filth and debauchery around these parts would you pay to see Wlad "smash" Hayden Panatierre live on PPV instead?
