    **** I forgot to put Povetkin on the list- put him at 3.

    To be honest I think Fury is little more than an oversized bum, his technique is so flawed and chin so weak, I wouldn't be surprised if Wlad just KO'd him with a jab in the 1st round.

    And for the record I do think Price will still beat Fury, they both have weak chins (although I think the punch from Thompson would've put most down, and Fury would've been unconscious) but Price has a better grasp of the basic fundamentals and has scary power.

    Pulev, Haye, Fury, Solis, Wilder, Ortiz, Price...

    Wlad does best vrs. smaller opposition but Haye is something of an exception with his speed and power.

    Stiverne would have a puncher's chance.

    I don't think anyone is gonna outpoint wlad,it would have to be a dangerous puncher for me,or if there's any other heavyweight with a chin like wach,as he definetly wobbled wlad but generally never threw enough punches

    How on earth do you have Haye that high? :lol::rofl

    We all saw what happened when they fought Haye wasn't even competitive Thompson gave him more problems in the first fight and so did Brock than Haye did :patsch

    Did you miss that fight where Haye got completely dominated and shut out by Wlad?

    Tbh i'd have Price a lot higher. Yes his punch resistance and recovery ability is woeful but there's no denying the boy has the power and williness to take anybody in the division out.

    Pulev
    Stiverne
    Wilder
    Seth Mitchell
    Price
    Travis Walker
    Chisora
    Haye
    Mansour
    Scott

    Pretty funky list, perhaps, but I've intentionally kept off anyone without the punching power to seriously shake Wlad up if he lands, namely Povetkin and Adamek, as well as those plainly too flat footed or limited to get into range to unload (Charr, Glazkov, Magomed, Helenius). Guys who fall halfway between worlds like Jennings also don't qualify. Fury, Solis, and Boytsov I'm waiting on before I pass judgement.

    A couple of qualification:

    Travis Walker is a horrible boxer but he always seems to land that huge right hand on whoever he's fighting, and deals them some serious damage. He did it against Adamek, Pulev and Arreola, so at least he has one of the boxing gods shining down on him. He's also got that sort of wild man aggression that might, just might, cause Wlad some problems.

    Chisora I picked because he's awkward and crazy, and won't stop coming till he's flat on the canvas. He lacks one punch power, but deals enough damage with punches in bunches to shake things up in there.

    Seth Mitchell and David Price may be damaged goods, but they're still hellacious punches, and Price has the size and reach to land on Wlad at angles and from opportunities that other boxers don't have. It'd be silly to write him off just now. Mitchell is just a heavy, heavy puncher, and may just decide to lay it all on the line if they ever fought.

    None of the above, barring Pulev, I'd give much of a chance of winning, but if Wlad has a hard fight I wager it's going to come against a lesser guy who just has the right combination of factors on the night.

    Povetkin and maybe Haye again and even Pulev. The rest are poor opponents, maybe even Tyson Fury be serious. I watched that Helenius some days ago and sucked. Wlad was like 4th tier in the past and now he's 1st... :lol: His brother Vitali in my opinion was more talented, also holding a good chin! It's not their fault the rest are mediocre but I will always blame them for not facing the best available opponents...

    he beats Povetkin and then he beat pretty much everyone out there right now worth a damn. don't think Fury is gonna make it to the top level and don't understand the pulev hype.
