    He needs a big guy that cant take a punch, Wlad is a good call, I am sure Wlad would like a rematch and Sanders knows he can destroy him if he connects. I also suggest Tye Fields as an opponent for him. He should stay away from Ruiz, Byrd and Rahman. Anybody that can take a punch and go the distance is a bad choice for Corrie. Unless he Wants Evander, everybody can destroy him.

    I am not histatic over his return but we need a good HW fight.

      Sanders quick hands are an asset for only the first five or six hands, his lack of stamina has been his downfall. I still think he would match up well with Chris Byrd because of his speed. Sanders could beat Byrd if he lays a hurting on him early on. But would have to be in much better shape than in his last fights. Hope he gets a meaningful fight.

        Byrd knows this too. He would avoid big punches to carry the fight into the later rounds.

          I give Sanders a better than average chance against anyone but Vitali. Wlad could resurect his own career by fighting Sanders or he could end it once and for all. I am very intrigued by the prospect of Sanders getting a shot at any one of the other pretenders. We would find out what they could do against his lightening fast hands and that sneaky left. He is much more exciting that Byrd, Ruiz, or Brewster. And yeah, I know about the Rahman fight. Rahman was lucky to survive and I still say Sanders would beat the rock two out of three.

              If Sanders can't get himself into shape, he should quit trying to come back and **** with the big boys and focus on his golf swing, there's less risk for him there

                Its sad but this gut could realy have been something, if he had been given the shot younger and stepped upp in shape, if quits golfing and gets into shape he could stil ko most of the top ten.
                I not sure if any of the others could beat him except Vit.

                  Byrd and RUiz would beat him easily simply by outlasting and frustrating him. Sanders is dangerous for the first 3 rounds (now that he's 39 probably only for the first 2) and after that he becomes a very precitable straight left puncher and his work-rate drops to the pace of a slug. Ruiz would TKO him late. Byrd would decision him or possibly stop him late b/c Sanders would be so tired a la Thunder-Byrd. Sanders has always had horrible stamina but with his age and inactivity he's nothing more then a solid gatekeeper right now.

                    No, no, and no. There is NO way that Byrd stops Sanders. There is also very little chance that Ruiz stops him. The guy's stamina is bad, but he does have 9 wins in fights that are longer than 7 rounds.

                      I think Sanders goes the distance with Byrd and perhaps Ruiz too! But he`ll only beat those with a really bad chin, like that cowardly loin Wladimir Klitscko
