If Vlad loses to Wach, how does it affect his AT standing

I see some of the nuthuggers starting to prepare in case Wlad gets KTFO. OMG if Wlad loses he is past his prime. WLad is not a all time great for christ sakes. If he loses it would not surprise me a bit. Wlad can't take a punch and if he gets hit he will go down and lose

 

You don't have to be great to beat Wlad. All you have to do is punch him back and he can't take it. Wlad has one of the worst chins in boxing history.

 

I've said it many times: Wlad has to avoid losing to another non-descript bum. If he loses before retiring he has to lose to a future dominant HW champion. Wach probably doesn't fit that bill.

So, yes losing to Wach would be devastating to Wlad's standing in HW history.

 

It certainly hurts his legacy, but it seems awfully unlikely to me.

Sounds about right to me.

 

Wald wins within 4-5 rounds or sooner. anyone that thinks Wach is winning needs to put the pipe down and take a break.

 

It would be horrible for his legacy. It's basically based on how dominant he has been and can be the next couple years. Losing to Wach would not be good.

 

A loss to Wach would clearly hurt Wlad's future standing and a win won't do much to improve it so Wlad has more to lose than gain here.

A lot would depend on how Wach's career plays out, if he goes on to become a dominant champion himself than the loss won't hurt much.

If the rest of Wach's career is fairly modest(like I think will happen) then Wlad's ranking will really fall.

I'd probably put Wlad somewhere between 10-15 and a loss to Wach would probably drop him out of the top 20.

If Wlad were to lose to Wach and then go on another 3-4 year dominate run then he could probably make up some of the ground he loses. Wlad has the chance to be firmly in the top 10 if he keeps winning a loss to Wach probably eliminates that chance.
