Wlad isn't going to beat somebody from the Ring top 5 four years from now like Holmes did after Spinks. Homles didn't lose 3 times before Spinks . Once to a journey man. Wlads career was a sham. He beat small nobodies using his size to lean all over them. He was totally clueless against a guy who had a quarter of his experience. He looked the same against Williamson in 04 and against Thompson in 08. Two absolute nobodies. Not forgetting a life and death situation against Peter the can. I don't want to dump all over him now that he lost , but he wasn't a great boxer , never mind a top 10 of all time. A good champ . Not great.
His place shouldn't really change given his age, this is just a setback in terms of moving even further up the rankings. The rematch will be massive if it comes about
We kind of posted almost the same thing just 1 min apart from each other (I had to add the last part about Wlad not being retired yet). :good
