    Sanders is another case of the heavyweights that we have today. Guys who could be really good fighters but wont put in the effort to maximize their potential.

    I think a rematch with Wlad would've gone the same as the first. It's smart that they stayed away from that fight.

    I give a rats ass what critics say, V.K.'s two epic wars with "Lewis & Sanders" are two of the greatest heavyweight title fights over the last couple of decades. If you don't appreciate them fights, you need to take up tennis... WORD!

    :good:yep:bbb

    Sanders was a very dangerous fringe contender but he was an incomplete fighter. He had the fast hands and KO power to be dangerous early hence why he had so many quick KO's. But he was really just a one trick pony, a dangerous one trick pony but a one trick pony nonetheless. He was poorly conditioned, wasn't very skilled, durable or very versatile. He was a raw talent but lacked the dedication and desire to ever be more than that, which is why he lost to guys like Tubbs and Rahman.

    I may also add that he lacked professional management and mentoring throughout his career. He had a dayjob as a cop in the streets of Pretoria, South Africa and never fully concentrated on boxing.

    Had he been taken to the US or Europe in his youth and properly trained and managed who knows what could've become of him.
