To his credit, Wlad has fought top opposition for the better half of his career and has fought quite a few 'top ten' fighters. Some of his top ranked and noteworthy opponents include:

Chris Byrd(2x)
Sam Peter
Calvin Brock
Lamon Brewster
Corrie Sanders
Jameel Mccline
TOS
Monte Barrett
Ray Mercer
Axel Schulz

i think you can add frans botha and derrick jefferon, though nothing special, by definition they were at least "top-15" guys if wlad made a title defense against them

Whats your point?

Whats your point?

actually its just an honest question.... most people cannot recite from memory whether or not several individual fighters were ranked inside the top ten nearly 7 years ago, the better question is

what is the point of your post?

I don't think Sanders, Shulz were ever top 10 guys

Sanders defo, or how would they sanction a title fight,

Sanders defo, or how would they sanction a title fight,

that was one of the points i made above.....

every guy he defended his WBO title against would almost have to be a "top-10" guy

the name derrick jefferson certianly doesent carry much weight, but at the time he fought wlad he was ranked in the top-10, same deal for charles shufford, frans botha, mccline, mercer... but they could just as easily have been ranked 11-15 and gotten the shot, someone would have to do some homework to truly answer the question..

He hasnt faced Audley Harrison, and until that happens I fail to recognise his legacy.
