Any future Wlad losses can be covered by the Past Prime BS excuse.

thats fan boys for you

"why should floyd fight cotto haters will say cotto sux anywayz, homie"

or

"haye doesn't deserve a shot at wlad, if wlad beats him you're gonna cry for wlad to fight the next foe"

funny how all of a sudden haye deserves to fight klit!

 

There's different types of losses.

It depends on who he loses to and how he loses. Is it a random nobody and it is a devastating knockout? Or is it a world-class opponent who continues to rule the division after retiring Wlad? Or maybe it is a freak injury TKO while being ahead on the cards.

That being said Wlad would probably close the door and deny himself a claim to a top 10 HW ATG spot in the history books with one more devastating loss.

 

it applies to many fighters but not Wlad, he is clearly in his prime.

 

When Wald is fifty he can still take Haye...........

 

Well at 34 Wlad's hand speed has slowed since his mid 20's, but the trade off being his ring intelligence has improved. You could say he had 2 primes, his physical and his mental. That being said, physically I see him still dominating for alteast another 3 years. If he loses before than it will be because the other guy was that much better. However a 37+ year old fighter losing to a guy in his 20s is just the way boxing is.
