    And that's why Wlad should have rematched him
    A rematch KO over a bum would look better than an unanswered TKO.

      No, I would've liked to see him avenge them but I don't hold it against him.

        I always liked that Lewis went back and avenged all his losses, but honestly, it's not that big of a deal.

        Would I prefer Wlad went back and beat them, yes. Does it make me think he isn't great? No.

          He should have gone back for Sanders. Definitely.

          Edit: Oh and Kittenflaps, my boy (<-) says bring it.

            Your boy is all hype. Roach predicted your boy KO'd in the third, but Teddy Atlas said he thinks you'll win.

              the way he beat down brewster in the rematch you know he would have done the same to sanders and purity.
              in my eyes brewster was the best of the three.

                Brewster got Wladimir at the right time in my opinion. Sanders was always the most dangerous for Wladimir out of the three.

                He was a quick, hard-hitting southpaw who made Wladimir come at him.

                He caught Vitali with a similar punch as well but Vitali was able to take it and recover, although not without staggering around the ring. Sanders wasn't exactly in his best shape either for that fight.

                Wladimir's tactics for the Brewster fight wouldn't have worked because Sanders would have simply waited for opportunities to counter, unlike Brewster who plodded forward and ate jabs.

                  Perhaps the Sanders defeat, but Sanders dissapeared to the countryclub following the brutal hammering he got from Vitali.

                  So in reality a rematch isn't needed and I wouldn't doubt the winner if they ever were to fight again anyway.

                    Wlad didnt want to rematch Sanders because he is scared of fighting guys with no fear, power and a chin.
                    He knew he would probably lose again.

                      you mean the lamon brewster coming off a loss, retina surgery and a one year layoff?
