    Let's say, if from this point onwards Wlad keeps going until his 47th birthday without losing more than two fights at most, both in controversial fashion, upsetting numerous prime contenders along the way, cleaning the division and basically being the dominant force for the next decade.

    where would you rank him among HW ATG's when he retires?

    With a weak division like that, I would of ranked him in the 15 to 10 area.

    Wlad has said that he intends to retire after the 2016 Olympic games. He won't fight until he's 47. He's got other plans.

    Wlad already done a Hopkins.

    He's been beating smaller men all his career...

    I have him at 16 right now. It would depend on his comp and how many more fights he had, but I can't think of a way he wouldn't be inside the top 10.

    A win over viscous knock out artist Lief Larsen could thrust Wlad into the top 5.

    Until 47? Top 3 at least, surely. It's not going to happen though

    He'd clearly be the GOAT, but there's no way he'll fight on that long. He's already got one of the longest reigns in the division's history, tacking on another decade would just be overkill.
