    Should Wladimir get all the belts, and retire only with 3 loses, then i think you could argue for top 10-15 :)

    After Thompson, Wlad should fight Arreola and (if possible) Povetkin.

    Then, before he retires, I'd like to see Wlad fight several of the next generation of HWs like Mitchell, Wilder, Helenius, Boytsov, Fury, and Perez, who are just a few fights away from being ready right now. Some of those guys might go on to win world titles later on, which would be good for Wlad's legacy.

    Top 5. He is already #3 in title defenses and he will overtake Jeffrey and Johnson in terms of the title reign in a couple of months.

    No, since it is subjective and pointless.

    He moves from 12 to 10 after beating another former unified champion last Saturday.

    he needs to get that belt off vitali, neither has dominated the whole division on there own they have tag teamed the division , neither has been lineal. once vitali retires and wlad takes all the belts as lineal he may make top 10. but in my opinion they havent been truely dominant as there are 2 of them taking the division on.

    Much depends on how one defines greatness? Head to head? Accomplishments?


    I would say top 15 for sure, and perhaps top 10 when his career is over.

    IDK. I Voted 10-15. BUT. He is not retired yet. I doubt he will climb higher than 7 - 8 position.
    Lately I started wonder what if he lasted till 2016-2018(he will be 42). He might just crack a top 5. Of course by "lasted" i mean stayed a champ.
