There was no need for a rematch between Wlad and TOS, and it certainly wasn't anything that people were asking for. Maybe a couple people trying to bash on Wlad, were trolling the message boards talking that nonsense... but if you remember, TOS signed with King and leap frogged over Wlad in the rankings after that loss and got a title shot ahead of him.:-(
I don't remember that no, I remember he fought McCall and lost to Byrd and that's about it. I still think the Klits are 6'6 at the most though.
How tall do you think McCline is, 6'2"? There used to be pictures of McCline and Lewis back when the sparred together, and McCline was slightly taller than Lewis, at least an inch.
I've stood next to Frank Bruno who is supposed to be 6'3, I'm 6'2 and he was at least 2 inches taller than me, Lewis was 2 inches taller than him when they fought - although Lewis wasn't as upright as Bruno so that's only a guesstimate. That makes Lewis around the 6'6 mark so maybe that's where the stats are getting confused. There definately isn't a 3-4 inch height difference in that Lewis/VITLAY fight though, I'll defend that until the cows come home.
Hey, fighting Weight, If Vitali was an inch or two taller than Lewis, shouldn't that automatically qualify him to kick the living **** out of him? Hell, I think I'm going to start cheering for Tye Fields as the next possible heavyweight champ. He's 6'9", so with a good two inches on Wlad, he should easily dust him in just a few rounds.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/57105569@N00/16816903/ I can see a 3 inch height difference here. Especially considering that Lewis's head is upright, and Vitali's is bearing down a bit. Look at their shoulders... Lennox is wearing that hat masking a bit of the height difference as well. Look how much closer Vitali's head is to the top of the frame than Lewis' is.
Stop being af follower. That is fighting weight's gig... you just look pathetic doing the same thing.
Actually, its you whom I'm following my good man, and what a fine example you've set. I happen to agree. Boy, if only Marcellus Allen were still fighting today. :think
Yep that is a decent summary.I find it mind blowing that so many Klit nuthuggers believe Wlad is better than, and achieved more than Riddick Bowe. Astonishing ignorance.
It was amazing how TOS lost to Klitschko yet he got a shot at Chris Byrd's title before Wlad. Anything's possible with Don King pulling the strings.
Who currently fighting at heavy is a future HOFer? Should they bring Holy or Tyson in the ring with him to put those names on his resume? How about Roy Jones? George Foreman maybe?
