So for you the fact that Rahman fight vs Wlad took place 7 years after Lewis fight means that you can not compare that fight at all since Rahman was obviously 7 years older, same goes for Mercer...so dont post bull**** like its some great fact... There is no doubt Wlad would beat them when they were prime but dont try to act like they were in their prime or better versions than versions Lewis beat.
I think Wlad is already a Top10 heavyweight of all time. He belongs to the lower part of that list. He can still climb. BUT I think that, due to his early losses, and also the lack of competition, he will never be in the Top5.
