    Why would it be funny? Maloney may be disliked by many but dont let that reflect on your opinion of Price.

    David Price - big and clever enough to land something big.
    Odlanier Solis - rating based on if the fat **** ever bothered to get in shape.
    Kubrat Pulev - seems to be tough with a good degree of skill.
    Chris Arreola - Very solid chin, decent power and very aggresive, good engine but easy to hit.
    Robert Helenius - Limited but is big and carries a nasty whack to boot
    Seth Mitchell - guy is a natural athlete, quick and powerful .
    Tyson Fury - Limited but awkward, promising yet cumbersome, the guy has heart and a lot of fire.
    Alexander Povetkin - decent boxer but lacks the heart and balls to give Wlad an arguement.
    Denis Boystov - The guy ducked Fury... nuff said.
    Bermane Stiverne - Never seen the guy fight

    Pulev. He's just a big mean ******* with a vicious streak. More than that he has a quick heavy jab that he uses well, solid jaw, decent power, and an arrogant swagger to him that we haven't seen in too many contenders of late. One of the few fighters I'd give a realistic, if outside, chance to.

    Price is second due to his height, his skills and his huge right hand power, though at this point I feel he'd be horribly outclassed by a fighter who does everything better that him in Wlad.

    Arreola or Mitchell are next, though I'd ideally like to see more of Mitchell before giving my firm opinion.

    Fury is next. He's big and lanky grinning goofball whose awkward aggression might cause Wlad problems for a few rounds, though he's no real threat in the grand scheme of things.

    Lastly I'll say Helenius, though only, and I mean only, because of his one punch power. He's so limited, flatfooted and beatable that Wlad would have to be sleeping to get caught by one of his big bombs.

    Povetkin is no threat at all.

    Seth will come back. This division is so weak.

    It is not over until it is over.

    The word is out on his chin. All his opponents will try to tag it now, and guys he would have beaten before might stop him now because they'll take more risks.
    The early Arreola KO was predicted by so many over here, that it's clear that the belief in his punch resistance is about zero.
