    Than tell me why he fought one of the WBA champs, with the title NOT on the line?? He is dealing with the BS when trying to unify the alpha titles.

    I dont consider him lineal but I do consider him no1. Chagaev isnt any type of established no3 as he hasnt beat a top10 opponent in over 2years and arguably has only beat 1 anyway

    Yeah I think Wlad's #1 but unless he beats the #2 guy in the division who happens to share his surname, then its still a leap. Both can claim to be #1 to an extent, and both are head and shoulders above the rest. Surely this negates Wlad's lineal claim. Its bad luck the other '#1 claimaint' is his brother, but tough ****, he is.
