Waiting to see if Wlad gives us a gem on par with: "Mormeck is like Tyson, only faster."

:deal

(I'm sure he was misunderstood, but still) :rofl

 

Can he? I think so. Will he? Much depends on how his body holds up.

 

he will have to get in the ring at least 3 times a year, he will have to come up with 10 challengers, at least if he gets close it will show louis's bum o da month club weren't that bad compared to who wlad would have to fight to get that number.

so no, he is v unlikely to get 25

 

That's how I see it.

 

It's based on the entire career. To view it otherwise is simply cherry-picking.
Good Lord.

 

Name another pair who were the top two in the same division and contending for the championship.

Fine with me. Most of Wlad's fights look like sparring sessions anyway, and the clarity alone would be worth it.

 

Nah, I'm having a good time.

 

Its possible, but I kinda doubt it.. He's 36 years old, and at the rate he's fighting, it could take years to acquire that additional 10 fights. Furthermore, as some have already mentioned, its somewhat cloudy as to "when" exactly he took claim to being "the champ." prior to the late 2000's he was more or less a title holder who was the best among peers rather than being the undisputed champion..

 

It's clear that the boxing world has thrown up it's collective hands and appointed Wlad as champion. Hey, he beat Barney Rubble! Let's say he's champ now! What the hell-Why not!

That 1 vs. 3 stuff sounds like enabling, brother. I know a pair of parents who let their kid stay home from school because they don't want to fight her about it every morning. So she's flunking out and smoking weed in the basement. Boxing is the way it is because the powers that be are allowed to do what they want to do. Writers wring their hands and fans moan once in a while but that's the end of it. No one steps up with an intelligent plan of action. And eventually, we just start accepting nonsense as the norm.

 

I think it'd be better if the difference between 2 and 3 are negligible and 2 won't fight 1, pull a switch-a-roo in the rankings.

 

But that take is from an American slant. There was at times post 1920 genuine claims backed by Britain (NSC and BBB of C), Europe (IBU/EBU), Australia, Canada and the British Empire/Commonwealth. As I mentioned the only time I can see eight genuinely universally recognized champions in eight divisions, was that short period post World War II.
