    I can only assume you were too young to remember those days. Vlad lost his place in line when he was starched by Sanders. Remember him, he was a semi-retired fighter who was golfing more than fighting at the time.

    I remember, he was the shot2**** guy who when in his absolute prime got destroyed whilst still trying to become a good contender during the lewis era.

    in his shot2**** form he wiped out prime wlad in mere seconds and scared him off a rematch and nearly became undisputed HW champ in the K2 era.

    He was obviously asked the question. He isn't a mental ego maniac.

    He has no business coming back to fight Wlad at 50... Would mean history though.:D

    Oh but he is, nobody can ask him a question these days without him bringing up a Klitschko

    Lennox could be right. He was as household a name as any in his heyday, and Wladdy is supposed to be the non-American heavyweight badass nowadays...the storyline alone would hog mainstream media weeks leading up to the fight.

    In any case, I really see no point in debating if a paritcular megafight is "bigger" than another megafight. It's not like I'd profit or feel better if it's one way or the other.

    I'd be interested in seeing Lennox-W. Klitschko though.

    probably not more than may-pac, but easily bigger than any other possible current fight.

    People did love heavyweights. That is until the division we have there now.

    Lewis vs Wlad would be a big money fight. But simply won't happen.

    Wlad vs Lewis in 08 instead of Wlad vs Sultan would have been fun
