    If wlad had put some slices of bread or perhaps a roll on his chin then that might have stopped him getting sparked by journey men.if Vit had strapped some loafs of bread to the side of his head then lewis would not have cut him to ribbons and stopped him or lewis could have wrapped his hands with bread that would have stopped him from hitting so hard which would have allowed Vit to claim his rightful victory.

    Speaking of embarrassing.

    Vlad went life and death and got STOPPED by domestic bum Ross Purrity and got KTFO by a full time member of the PGA:rofl

    Vitali quit on his stool against ex-MW Chris Byrd.

    The way Mavrovic took Lewis' bombs I'd seriously pick him over Wlad.

    So Lummox went life and death with a bum but he was actually a world beater according to his nut huggers, so not a part time grocer but actually a HOF atg in disguise.


    :rofl

    Life and death, huh? Lets see...http://articles.philly.com/1998-09-...rank-maloney-unification-bout-zeljko-mavrovic

    Mavrovic won one round of 12, landed 132 punches and none of them powerful enough to hurt Lewis while Lewis landed 216 punches including 119 power shot, and the judges cards were 119-109,117-112 and 117-111

    Doesn't sound like life and death to me.

    You know who else doesn't think this was a "life and death" fight? Mavrovic himself. See what he said after the fight: http://articles.courant.com/1998-09...squalification-shannon-briggs-zeljko-mavrovic

    "He [Lewis] beat me like nobody else has ever beat me,'' Mavrovic said. "I was waiting for the later rounds -- eight, nine, 10. He caught me and I couldn't come in.''

    I would expect Mavrovic to say that, considering it's his only loss.

    Oh no Vanboxing, you can't be more wrong.

    Mavrovic has iron chin and that's it.

    He was not hard hitter, his resume was thin like Wach or Pianeta, and his best win was frickin' Julius Francis.

    He was like Mariusz Wach with better skills but less size.

    No way he beats Wlad, Vitali or any dominant HW.
