Maybe suck was a bit stong of a word to use, but he definatley ain't all that great.
i agree. IMO opinion vitali was a much superior boxer. wlad goes down far too often for my liking and it definately is a weakness. i wouldnt be surprised if even chris byrd manages to drop him this weekend. wlad has a good jab but he has become so cautious of late, he doesnt feel comfortable unloading shots for fear of reprisals. whence he clinches way too often for my liking.

if wlad beats byrd, then he should be regarded as the best, but im interested to see if he can actually get past byrd first. you know, im not too sure he will...
