    Not even top 20

    Has 1 win over a HOFer on his resume, who was 38 years old and coming out of retirement.

    I still have a prime Mike Tyson as the best heavy of all time.

    He beats them all.

    Top 15 lock, probably belongs in the top 10, yeah. I think I had him at #8 or #9 last time.

    What's the case for ranking Wlad higher?

    That doesn't matter. You have to rate a fighter within the time period he fought in. Otherwise, in 100 years, Ali Tyson, Lewis, etc would all have to be considered chumps.

    Definitely he is in top 10. H2H he is one of the very best ever. I dont remember any other boxer who was considered so invincible like Tyson was in his prime. He had all tools to become GOAT but unfortunately his prime was too short to that. Anyway I can easily put him in my top 5-8.
