    Wlad never fought the best out there for a decade. And for that, he will never be in a top 10 discussion imo. Being mentioned in the same sentence as Louis is comical.

    I think it could be argued that Wlad beats everyone Louis beat, and as comprehensively if not more so. He also doesn't lose to the fighters Louis lost too....oh, crikey, I might have to revisit my top ten...again....

    Different eras. Who had a longer reign and more defenses than Louis? Wlad didnt fight Vitali. No passes here in my book. He is out of the top 10 for that, and its not even debatable how he avoided the best for a decade. Your case might work H2H, but I still think Louis knocks out no plan B Wlad

    That's dumb he beat all the best fighters of his era and not just beat them but demolished them he didn't duck anyone like for example Holmes did.

    Yup, I'm thinking more h2h. Personally, I think Wlad and Vitali are becoming very underrated.

    one had the belt for 10 years and the other had the other belt for 10 years. Did they fight? NO. In historical rankings, it means everything. Looks like you are the one thats " dumb ", so he didnt beat the best fighters, they didnt fight ,

    So your main criticism is that he didn't fight his own brother despite literally fighting everyone else? You do realize that's not much of a criticism right?

    The Euguchi brothers fought. Whats your point. You not understanding that when the 2 best avoid each other for a decade when the competition below is at least 2 tiers down, their historical standings suffers BIG. Are you saying if WLAD beats Vitali his historical standing dosent shoot up big? who's the unintelligent one now? lol

    I'm saying it's irrational and stupid to critize someone for not fighting his brother when he fought and beat literally everyone else
