    Or maybe he never wanted to leave SA and base himself somewhere where bigger and more frequent fights would be more obtainable.

    He said this on the issue:

    Some internet research tells me a SA man called Rodney Berman was Sanders promoter. From his debut right through to 2003:think

    What?

    And Corrie didn't get "near" contention again ... until he did. :huh

    Oleg Maskaev is much better than Rahman. He punched him out of the ring once, and nearly repeated it again years later. Why don't you make Maskaev the unicorn?:lol:

    he didn't, why you counting wladdie gifting a 37 year old retiree as some kind of valid contention.

    this is clearly my argument, what on earth are you doing brandishing it to your detriment..and then laughing at your own failure?

    Berman and Kushner were partners. Sort of like Kathy Duva and Carl Moretti or Butch Lewis and Bob Arum in the 1970s.

    He was the WBC #2 contender when he fought Vitali, wasn't he?

    Einstein.:lol::roll:

    Name ALL the heavyweight contenders who deserved to fight for the vacant title over Vitali and Corrie Sanders at that moment?:deal

    But it was just Berman who handled Sanders career from the get-go and not Kushner like you claimed.

    That's like saying Carl Moretti has handled Kovalev's career ... and not Kathy Duva. Or Butch Lewis handled Leon Spinks' career through the Coetzee fight ... and not Bob Arum.

    If Moretti had brought Krusher up through the ranks from his debut , yes.

    yeah you still building an argument on that house of cards. He shouldn't have faced nor beat the world champ ( weak h2h2 wlad) in the first place, why not getting that?

    Again - why you keep cutting down your own argument? give me one that stands up, instead of laughing at your own arguments with your own smilies.

    I don't have any records. Can you produce records to prove that it was Kushner who promoted Sanders and not Berman?
