I don't think Wlad was mentally defeated because Brewster got up, as much as he was already starting to gas out at that point. If anything there isn't a lot to take from that fight about Wlad, I think for some reason he just didn't have much of an engine on the night.

Tony Thompson was a damn fine fighter the first time Wlad fought him, but he's old and slow now and there are a number of other guys who could beat him. You obviously have a vested interest in his standing these days, as Wlad fought him within the last several years so he still must be defended at all costs I admire your persistence, but it's quite thinly veiled given everything you post about the HW division is directly tied to a Klitschko one way or another. Price losing to Thompson has nothing to do with Wlad, everyone knows he's great already just take a load off.
