Should opponents below 215 lbs count on a heavyweight's record?

So Wlad fought the less experienced + pre prime version of Monte Barett? Haye fought the better one?

I didn't claim that BUT THERE ARE THESE 2 SIDES OF A COIN.

Whenever Ali loses it's "Oh, he was past his prime".
When Frazier loses to Foreman it was "A terrible stylistic mismatch".

You see you can always argue both sides:
Old Lennox beat prime Vitali
or
Pre-prime Vitali lost to highly experienced Lennox.

You like Lennox so you point out that he was old.
But a Vitali fan may point out that Vitali was too inexperienced and it would be true, too.

Is this some bizzaro world where concussions make you more experienced and age gives faster reflexes?

Never said anything about reflexes.

The prime (especially at heavyweight) does not consist only of reflexes.

Even your data says the inexperienced guy wins 66% of the time against geezer champions, Surely a great unstoppable monster like Vitali would be apart of that winning 66%? No....Vitali was physical Prime when he lost to Lewis. Now he is a feather-fisted shell of himself ....spending 12 rounds with Monoplegics he couldve floored in 2003. Experience is pointless if you dont have the physical skills to execute.
