When you're talking about a Wlad, or a Mayweather, or any other dominant champ who's nearing 40 and the end of their careers, you have to take the opportunity to fight them when you get it, because there's no guarantee that opportunity will still be available in the future. Whoever whips Wlad first is going to take hold of the HW division, so you gotta take your shot before it's too late.
