    If Wlad drops the WBO belt, will you, along with DrMo, derrick and the other Klitschko haters be saying Wlad is ducking Leapai?

    Wlad would box circles round both of them, so it doesn't matter who goes first none of them have a chance in hell of winning.

    If that happens, Dino would be leading the Leapai bandwagon. There would be thread after thead of Dino breaking down danerous how Leapai is, and how impressive the Boystov win was. How he has the tools to take Wlad down.

    Dino is already accusing Wlad of ducking Pulev, because Wlad didn't pull a contract out of his ass and sign in it in the ring during the Povektin post fight interview. Dino claims Pulev has been a mandatory for years, despite only being named as such after the Thompson fight a couple months ago.

    Fair point on having different top ranked guys as contenders, but look at the rankings - do these honestly make sense?

    Of course not. These organization ratings are just a shuffling of names with one or two guys they really really want to fight for their title. No realistic top 10 would have Boystov as the #1 HW to begin with.

    Old Skool Leapai does it the hard and proper way. He's like Chisora, travels anywhere and fights anyone hence I'm glad to see him get his reward after traveling literally to the other side of the planet to beat the top 10 Boytsov in his own backyard. This is what boxing is all about, the underdog taking his chance when all was against him. Leapia like Del Boy isn't a mere record padder and has always gone out of his way to step up. Like the true Rocky story that he is the phrase 'If first you don't succeed then try and try again' couldn't be more appropriate.

    Initially haven't failed at his first attempt to reach the big time against Kevin 'Kingpin' Johnson in what was a great fight where 'Lion Heart' started well only to run out of steam down the stretch Leapia certainly didn't waste his second chance and exposed Boystov in style with the slick Saureland brothers watching on stunned with their jaws hitting the floor. Leapia was seen as a soft touch, someone to make Boytsov look good, how wrong they were!

    No doubt we'll see a lot of casual fcukwits moan that Alex "doesn't deserve his shot cause his 0 has gone" and some other type of assorted bollocks.

    Perception will always be a huge part of it. People on this board like to play they are above the smoke and mirrors, yet fall for the same tricks everytime. Prior to Lepai, Boystov would have been sold as an acceptable title defense for Wlad. He's undefeated and looked good beating on the usual cans. But once a previously unheralded fighter like Lepai beats Boystov and clealry proves himself the better fighter than the guy people were high on, it becomes an entirely different matter.

    That's how the rankings work though. If you're going for the mando spot with another org (Pulev IBF) then you drop out of the other rankings (WBO).

    These organizations have woken up and realized Wlad just fights spuds anyway.

    Adamek is Ring #3? Could that publication get any more out of touch? He's well past his prime. Joke.
