    It's not all about height guys, Wlads just head and shoulders ahead of fighters like Iggy, skills wise. I'm just looking forward to Wlad fighting guys that will put up more of a fight, like Valuev, Peter, and Chagaev.

    Yes, there were no complains when Lewis, 6'5" fought shorter fighers, on Ali Vs. Quarry, Quarry 5'10" tall, etc. Ali Vs. Floyd Patterson. George Foreman fighting smaller people.

    Vlad fought Derrick Jefferson, who is 6' 6" tall.
    Vlad fought Jameel McCline, who is 6' 6" tall.
    Vlad fought Bostice/6'6"

    Vitali fought Timo Hoffman, who is 6'8", etc. Vlad will fight whomever they put in front of him, he is trying to unify the titles, agaisnt the ABC's wishes and Don King.

    Um, wrong.
    For certain sections of the media that looked for any way to attack Lewis no matter what he did, that was one of the easy complaints they would fall back on.

    "He's a big guy so he should be knocking everyone out! What is this 'sweet science' bull****!"

    Also handy to dismiss a win by going "Oh, he was so much bigger, it's not much of a win."
    I remember that when he beat Morrison, as one example.
