In every sport, there is a player/person who is ravaged by their critics all throughout their career. That person develops a main goal in their professional career, and that goal is to silence the critics and prove them wrong.
Critics are like termites, they can eat a superstar away in no time. They can not only embarrass them, but also influence their credibility, as well as temper with their money (fan base).
At the same time, we need critics. They set a certain standard, a goal to be met and surpassed. Critics push our superstars to try harder and do better. But if their goals are not met, they will go on the offense worldwide, and will bury you while still alive and trying.
After beating Chagaev, Wlad stated that he is really happy, because he likes to silence his critics, especially after the Sanders fight. He beat Chagaev fair, and dominated the fight in his usual boring manner. None-the-less, he wont he fight.
Unfortunately, what he is probably seeing right now form the press, is that no one was impressed. Most people thought he should have been able to knock Chagaev out without much effort. Wlad's critics give him no credit for this win, and are blaming him for not fighting better fights ?
What fights ?
While I was not impressed with the way he won the fight, I still give him all the credit in the world, and declare him the best fighter in the division. The critics need to see that he is on top, and there is nothing he can do to climb any faster or any further at this moment in time.
Who can he fight right now, to silence his critics ?
Thanks
