This has happend plenty of times in the history of boxing and will continue to happen. Wlad belongs in the catagory with Micheal Grant, Gerry Cooney, Donald Curry, Ri**** Bowe..ect all guys who were suppossed to be the next great thing in boxing and for reasons some in there controll and some out of there controll never fuffilled there potential.
These are BAD fighters he is losing to to and I do mean BAD. Ross Purity is nothing more than an average jouneyman, same with Lamon Brewster, hell Corrie Sanders was pretty much retired and playing golf full time when Wlad and hsi people called him. Before there fights with Wlad Brewster was famous for getting beaten up by Cliff Eitine a guy who was KO'ed in 40 seconds against Tyson and before Wlad the only thing Sanders had ever done was be KO'ed by Rahman.
There is no excuse whatsoever to even have problems with a guy the caliber of "TOS". "TOS" might have the single worst chin I have ever seen on a fighter, hell Joe Mesi damn near killed him.
It is clearly in his head and he is fighting scared and anyone who has any kind of boxing knowledge whatsoever can see this.
There comes a time in a prospect career where people(including his fans) have to stop making excuses for him and just come to the realization that he is just not as good as people thought he was.
as far as that post
Considering Lewis' two losses came about 7 or 8 years apart so no one was calling for him to retire. Everyone in the boxing world knows Lewis' losses were not because of lack of talent, but because he got lazy. Look at the rematch for the Rahman fight, two completely different versions of Lewis.
as far as Tyson yes everyone is calling for him to hang it up, but he NEEDS to fight because he is in serious debt. No one outside of his hardcore fan boys thought he could rule the division.
