    If someone should be #2 it's JMM, cause he Knocked Pacman out in their last fight.. so until we see a fight no. 5 he should be in front of him..

    I was just trying to get a rise out of Cupid.

    But honestly I think there's only Wlad who the ring have had in their top 3 P4P since Tyson that I can think of.

    Lewis was ranked but I don't think he got into the top 5 (though I could be wrong), certainly not top 3.

    Did you just use Leapai and Pulev to strengthen an argument that Wlad should rank ahead of Floyd? :rofl

    Yes, but hes fought far better competiton and has moved up in weight. He doesnt have all the physical advantages Wlad usually enjoys.

    Wladimir Klitschko has beaten two Ring #1 ranked heavyweights during the past 13 months.

    Alexander Povetkin was Ring #1 at heavyweight in October 2013 when he fought Klitschko, and Kubrat Pulev was Ring #1 at heavyweight on Nov 15 2014 when he fought Wlad.

    Also BoxRec, Transnational, Fightnews and the IBO computerized rankings all recognized Pulev as the best next to Klitschko going into the fight.

    No other Ring Champion in any division has beaten two #1 contenders in his division during that period of time.

    So when you think about it objectively and without bias, it makes sense that The Ring would elevate Wlad to #2.

    Wlad is dominating his comp and that is commendable, but Pulev being ranked number one just shows the sad state of talent at the top of the heavyweight ranks. Pulev stinks, there is no denying this. If not for an inferior (yet improving) era he would be just another fighter instead of a top ranked fighter.
