Difficult to rate him because he's got the ability to compete with any fighter in history, but he'd get KO'ed by any decent hitting heavyweight who managed to tag him on the chin. He could outpoint a prime Muhammed Ali, and then get KO'ed by Frank Bruno.
He remains exactly the same place he did before last weeks fight, though you could make a case for him slipping down a few positions!
Maybe 35 thinking about it. And it'll be hard for him to climb any higher on my list unless he proves that 1- He's willing to take risks to win a fight. He looks terrified to me sometimes. 2 - His chin isn't as bad as I currently think it is. 3 - He can fight hard. He still looks like he might gas to me.
No top 50 the HW's are too rich in tradition... I think he's just solidified himself as the best today. Who knows if he has the heart to go 15 rounds or stand to a guy he can't knockout.
His resume is pathetic. Not necessarily his fault, but coupled with his losses, and his undenaible beatable-ness he is maybe top 40. No sane person could justify putting him in top 20.
Wlad is an exceptional specimen, but he's not a very good boxer... Effective as hell and knows his body well, but in terms of pure skill I wouldn't put him anywhere near top 20
