    I want to see VK be the guy everyone has already made him.

    That Sanders fight was 2000. From then to 2004 (and really the year before when he fought Wlad), Sanders spent most of his time on the golf course and eating boxes of Hostess snack cakes, it appears.

    .....Sanders weighed the exact same for his fights with Wlad and Rahman.

      Except for the fact that he weighed 225 lbs against Wlad and Rahman. He has always had weak spot for Hostess snack cakes. And between Rahman and Wlad he TKO'd Sprott in 1 and Tisdale in 2. And no I didn't see that but I'm going to hold you to it now.

            I don't care about the weight - Neuraxis uploaded the Sanders/Rahman fight and the guy looks to be much fitter than in the Klitschko fights.

            Anyone got any pics to validate this?

              Much as I hate him, the obvious answer is Lenny.

              And sorry, but I have never been that impressed with Rahman OR Tua.

                ****** question as I highly doubt that anyone with some sense would rate Williams, Sanders or Johnson above Lewis.

                  You wanna talk skill? Lennox was the far most-skilled opponent Vitali has ever faced in the ring. Toughest? I would say Corrie Sanders. I don't see Lennox taking all of those shots and still standing.

                    the point of the Sanders fight is that Lewis was using him as an extension of himself.

                    Of course Sanders was tired, so would Lewis be if he fought the way he told Sanders to fight. They figured that VK was just like WK, who would easily crumble from a huge powershot, which, contrary to some opinions, Sanders definitely had (even with the hostess cakes).

                    If Lewis was right back then, the fight would have been over when Sanders dazed him from that same huge powershot we are talking about. Since that theory was debunked, we now know that Sanders wasn't effective to beat VK, no matter what strategy he used.
