Wlad will stop him in three and Klit fans will point to this as evidence Wlad really is exciting.

thats what I always liked about lewis. hed just drop a belt and go after a fight the fans would more wanna see. im going to be very pissed if wlad takes this fight. drop the damn belt and fight pulev instead. its only the wbo anyway

totally agree he never took the easy path. never forget when everyone was hyping golota after the bowe fights. lennox wanted golota since he couldn't get bowe. nobody was lining up to fight him after the biting & lowblows. not to mention he was young, big, mean & dirty at that point in his career. lennox stepped up like he always did. he hated mandatories. he called them a thorn in his side. he would rather chase money & prestige then hold titles. he went after the best & made voluntaries against quality opposition.

wow,,I never knew he was stopped by johnson. hes even worse than I thought. the wbo is a joke for sanctioning this fight and wlad is an idiot if he takes it

kingpin is not as bad as many say. he's a decent fighter & beats all the journeymen. he's a gatekeeper at B level... guys like leapai kingpin boxes circles around. the only 2 fights he wasn't in control in was against fury & klitschko.

It was easy to see really. Thompson was his IBF mandatory, Povetkin was the WBA mandatory, and now the WBO get their turn. I believe his next fight is non-mandatory, but then the cycle repeats. It's not all doom and gloom though, at least with Wladimir, you can earn your shot at the title the way you should, i.e becoming the mandatory for it.

weren't wach & pianeta in there too?

in my life time of watching boxing (since i was 14)i have seen terrible HW title fights. bowe\jesse ferguson, chagaev\skelton, chagaev\carl drumond, holyfield\czyz, wlad\mormeck, vitali\sosnowski, maskaev\okello, povetkin\wawrzyk... now this fight possibly...

I dont think Holyfield-Czyz was a title fight. But i get your point.

It'd be nice if Grabimir got stripped.

my bad... so many fights over the years it's easy to mix a few up from time to time...

It would be nice to see him drop the belt and openly say this guy is not worthy of a heavyweight championship fight. Doubt that happens though.
