Losing to wlad a second time was a blessing in disguise for thompson

[Jack Napier]

losing in a title fight only helps if you look impressive
Thompson didn't look impressive in either Wlad fight, especially the 2nd
he's just another guy who can be fun to watch against lesser HW's
being KO'd twice by the champ, he can't go past journeyman status
and after his latest loss, any stock he had dropped off
like Thompson, but he's all but done now

Maybe i missed something but after the wlad loss he was disregarded by everyone on this site & very few gave him a chance vs price but i called both wins as i thought maloney was a fool to match thompson with price. Losing to wlad twice makes you a journeyman? You got pretty high expectations. Thompson got 3 fights in 8 months vs good fighters so how is he done? The phone started ringing more as he was brought in as an opponent & fought his way to an IBF eliminator( yes a few others refused the fight)... That doesn't sound done to me...
