    He'd be a top ranker in the Klitschko era. Not to sure how he'd fare in this new era of above average heavy weights.

    Do you see an appreciable difference in quality since Wlad's reign?

    Of course . This new era produced a fighter who could beat Wlad in just his 24th fight.

    Wlad got batted by Ross Purity in his 24th fight- a journey man.

    I think we may be at cross purposes.

    Pulvev could lose a few pounds and work on his stamina. He is a big man with some skills.

    I'm not understanding you.

    I'm saying that because someone like Chisora was able to crack the top ten a couple of years back, it should be easy for someone like Wills.

    Yes, Wills was good enough to crack the 2016 top 10.

    Today, RING magazine have Bermane Stiverne at #6, David Haye at #9 and Andy Ruiz Jr, at #10.
    I think prime Wills handles them at least.
