If Wlad wins his upcoming fight in typical form, barely taking a jab and THEN, somehow, Maidana upsets Mayweather, it'll happen. Andre Ward staying on his path of inactivity will result in Wladimir achieving POUND FOR POUND GREATNESS. Haters mad as fk. Remember: If Maidana beats Floyd, Ward stays inactive, Wlad becomes p4p king. The haters can't HANDLE this CRUSHING reality.
Floyd is not losing to Madaina. And Wlad would have to beat Pulev to move up beating Leapai is not going to move him up much on any type of ranking.
Wlad beats everyone that is currently licensed to box until proven otherwise so I don't think he cares much about Ring mag's rankings. Either way though yes you can make a case for it happening. :deal
Lol... HW doesn't even have anyone as good as Maidana P4P, if they did, Wlad would get lit up. P4P, Wlad has feasted on truly C and D level fighters. This guy is P4P nothing. The lighter weights all have vastly superior, well skilled specimens and if Wlad was resized to MW even, 3G or Martinez would light him up easily.
I'm a harsh critic of Mayweather, but even with a loss to Maidana and the general B level guys he fights, his recent years resume crushes Wlad's. The Cotto win for example is 5x as good as Wlad's best 5 wins combined. That's how poor the HW opposition is. Who in their right mind rates Klitschko P4P? Povetkin's equivalent when imagined to a resized MW version would be a Rosado level guy and Wlad had to hold and hold to where it merited a DQ loss just to not have any dangerous inside work.
P4p is based on quality of opposition and how you beat them. Unfortunately Wlad, even though he has fought the best available, is sorely lacking in that department. He'll never see p4p number one in my opinion.
Vlad fought and beat all the other champions, won their titles, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, etc., except Vitali's WBC which he will fight for ASAP............. Put Void in the ring with Vlad and see how long he lasts. Void is a fraud. Ward said he would knock out both Klitschkos, but I don't see him calling Vlad on the phone for a fight..........Void is still running from Pac which means Void is a coward and is a woman beater.................Perhaps if Vlad were to beat up a woman that would make him P4P, but P4P is bullcrap, Void could not even knock out the woman he beat up and that's bad................Vlad also won the gold medal back in 1996, super heavyweight division...............how did he do that? He had to fight a lot of good fighters to do that............fact is, Vlad would beat all the other fighters in the world at any weight.............Void is not the best, Vlad is and he can prove in in the ring. Why say Vlad Vs. Void? Because Void claims to be the best fighter in the world and that he can beat everyone out there, which is bullcrap................he won't even fight Pac..............Void refused to fight Golovkin at 154, he refused to fight Martinez at 154 or even 150, he refused to fight Paul Williams, Margarito, etc. Void is void. Void is a fake hero....................a fraud.............a woman beater...............
I know its diffict for you to understand, but p4p is based on the subjective theory that if all fighters were the same size and their competition fought. I hate Floyd, he's an arrogant punk. But his skill set and opposition is MILES ahead of Wlad. You're right though, if the 6'6" 245 lb version of Wlad ever met the 5'7" 145lb oyd in the ring there is no doubt hex win a boring decision. He might even win every round. Unfortunately though, that isn't what p4p is about. :-(
LOLLOLLOL!!! P4P Vlad doesn't even make the top 20. In skills, He is the weakest of all HW champions in the last 50 years. He has nowhere near the skills of Mayweather, Ward, Matrinez, Pac, or even Froch, and Froch's not even in the top 10.
