    That was the weights at those times. Your definition is nonsense. If you followed your logic then Wlad would be considered a bum in 40 years. Ridiculous.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It depends on how he loses. If he loses a lose decision, then we may say he is/was worth the salt.

    He can't lose by ko and he can't lose by a blowout ala Jennings v. Spzilka.

    No. I already conceded to you that Liston and Norton and now Wlad too were not bums and they never will be, because they all beat most of their opponents and that wont change over time.

    And their opponents wont change over time either in terms of quality as boxers.

    But in the future, when the weight limit is raised, and people will want to compare the then current champs record to Wlad's they will have to focus only on that portion of Wlad's record that reflects the then HW limit.

    Let's say it's 220lbs. Even THEN, it will be clear, even at 230!, that Wladimir faced a good class of opposition.

    Liston and Norton are qualitatively different because even given the current standard of 200lbs, their heavy competition is revealed, exposed if you will, to consist of bummy heavy opponents (mostly).

    Liston and Norton will never themselves be bums. There overall opposition will never be either. But the ones that need to be focussed on, the HW worthy ones, are!

    You could call them quality cruiser crunchers, real HW bum-busters LOL

    I think he will always be a dangerous opponent.

    If he loses an (unlikely) decision, his skills failed him but his chin didn't. It will be surprising for his chin and expected given his lack of skills.

    If he loses by KO, his chin failed him (unsurprising) but a KO loss does not necessarily equate to a lack of skills. You can be outboxing your opponent but get caught by a hard punch at HW.

    Of course the most likely scenario is that Wilder gets both outboxed AND KOed, which will demonstrate both.

    It all depends, to me, on whether or not the decision was a blowout. Like Jennings was on the way to a blowout UD vs. Spzilka before he stopped him in the final round.

    Sometimes a ko can be better than a blowout UD. I think your last scenario was spot on too- blown out and then stopped in the 9th, 10th or 11th.
