    Yes definitely top 20. I have him at about 9-12 based on longevity.

    Yes who is better? Guys like Dempsey and Marciano? They are tiny. They also only defended the belt 6 times. Wlad defended it 18 times, one of the longest reigns in any division.

    Depending on what Joshua does, could have skipped above Holmes.

    He's either just inside, or just outside of the top 10. Anything else is unacceptable.
