Except Tszyu, Tito, and Zab, are all champions several times over.
No one doubts them.
Wlad has been dropped numerous times in his last 5 fights by fringe contenders and bums.
Again I'll repeat, the flash KD against Williamson wasn't the end of the world, but after those two devistating TKO losses, it did NOTHING to increase his stock.
Right now, his camp is having worlds of troubles putting him in with a soft enough opponent that will gaurentee a good showing.
That's not a good sign in him repairing his reputation nevermind getting ranked to fight for a title.
the guys i mentioned were getting dropped before they became world champions and they've had careers alot longer than wlad, doesnt mean that wlad can't go on to do the same thing...
AGAIN I'll repeat, the TOS fight did't help him, but it doesn't mean his career is over either...
"Right now, his camp is having worlds of troubles putting him in with a soft enough opponent that will gaurentee a good showing."
- thats BS, your just speculating now.... castillo is better than rahman's last 5 opponents and has beaten moorer... barret is getting a title shot by beating owen beck and guinn, who have beaten nobody... mccline beat boswell and shufford to get his title shot... castillo is at least as good as bos, shufford and beck...
Sanders and Brewster were "soft" opponents. Moli was an absolute BUM.
The fact they had to look so far down the rankings to find this next fight shows you how carefull they're being selecting his opposition.
OK, you were speaking reasonably but now you're just hatin'.. look at rahmans last 5 opponents... look at golota's fights before he got his title shots... look mccline's, fres, barrett's... castillo is as legit as anybody they fought

I'm not critisizing the opponent, its what he should be doing now. I'm just saying it speaks volumes that they need to seek guys like this out in order to find someone they're sure isn't going to knock him out again.
And look at the poor opposition Rahman, Golota, McCline fought etc.
Did any of them get brutally beaten by opponents as poor as Sanders and Brewster? No.
