When you look at some of the jokers that have recently been getting title shots like Charr, Chisora and Rahman it's fair to say that he's at least an enormous step up from those. I rank Wach around 17 from the last time I made a list I think.
Well it depends on how he does in the ring I think, a lot of guys 'take a chance and fight Wlad' but they get in the ring and put on a half hearted performance and were seemingly only there for the money. He seems like a tough guy though so hopefully he comes to fight.
Clearly no. :bart But apparently anyone remotely talented is scared of becoming #52. I'm just very disappointed with these last 3 fights... Shot Mormeck, Old Thompson, Sloth Wach... :verysad I pray Wlad's next 3 are of decent quality, so he can earn more respect & greatness he deserves.
Wach, not unlike Wlad, has trouble finding other top 20s to fight. Arreola OTOH gets offers from every fighter in the top 100.
Normally I would say no but there doesn't to be any other stand out contenders who are willing to take the fight so it's not that bad a fight I guess.
If it's a mandatory then i'm not overly bothered. If it's a voluntary defence it is a **** choice of opponent, no two ways about it. He's the worst opponent wlad has faced since becoming champ against byrd.
Wlad unifies against Haye, than a voluntary defence against Mormeck (Haye´s best win at Cruiserweight), and than Thompson II (IBF Mandatory). Nothing wrong now with Wach, young big contender who can bang. Taller than Wlad. But Hater´s gona hate. If Wlad will fight Solis, they will claim Solis is fat, slow, to small and so on. Wach is undefeated, young, taller. Good opponent.
Solis is another unproven heavyweight. I don't ask much, I just ask that the champion fights ranked opposition.
