Why didnt Wlad and Cory Sanders ever rematch?

[jrosales13]

His team just want it to start all over again, Get him a new corner and just start all over. It worked too.

wladimir would the rematch but it didnt happend

[BrooklynBomber]

Wlad became mandatory for the WBO belt, but Sanders vacated the belt and went on to fight in WBC.

******ed and inaccurate post

in fact Wlad wanted the rematch, or so he says, but his management wouldn't let him fight Sanders again (they were probably too afraid that Sanders would do a number yet again on Wlad)

Which is not true, Wlad specifically became the mandatory for WBO so he could rematch Sanders. The timeline proves it too.

He had his big brother take care of that bully.

So Sanders ducked the rematch?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Wlad was knocked out very brutally against Corrie. Its probably the worst loss of Wlad's career. It was brutal the way he was KO'd.

At that time, Wlad was still improving as a fighter, and he was kind of in a "rebuilding" phase. He needed a year or two, or three to rebuild himself and regain confidence. A rematch with the guy who just sparked him would have been a bad idea.

By 2005, Wlad would have been ready for a rematch, but by that time Corrie was much older, and Corrie had also been brutally beaten up by Vitali.

At that time a rematch didnt make sense, and thats why it never happened.

Thats exactly the way I see it as well.

sanders is a bad style match up for wlad and team wlad knows it.

Wlad was TKO'd against Corrie Sanders. Not brutally knocked out. He was beaten and soundly, but not brutally knocked out.

Also if you look back at news articles, Wlad wanted the rematch with Sanders, but Sanders wanted the WBC belt, remember?
