    Your wrong buddy, I just went back and checked boxrec, I was right. He weighed 235 for his fight against Wlad and 245 against Vitali, the most he weighed since his lose against Rahman. You were looking at Wlad and Vitali's weight coming in, which was a 2 and a half pound difference between the two. :deal

    Of course he's going to say he trained harder for the Vitali, all fighters want there oppenents to think that.

    Lewis had faith in Sanders, and he also didn't like the Klit brothers as well.

    Punisher33, I am sorry. You were absolutely right about the weight. I looked at the wrong tab in Firefox, had both fighters open. My bad.

    Every fighter says they are in the best shape for whatever fight is coming up.
    You don't sell a fight by saying, "Yeah, I decided to slack off with the training. This fight's not really worth my time."

    :good No problem, I had to go back and check boxrec myself. My memory of anything that has to do with the Klits is top notch, but sometimes I forget certain things as well. I just remeber Vitali coming in very sloppy looking against Vitali, and a little more toned against Wlad.

    After the Valuev-Holyfield fight I checked when was the last time that The Heavyweight Title Bout was a real Heavyweight Title Bout. I found that it was Lewis-Klitschko June 2003. Since that time THERE WAS 44 "TITLE" FIGHTS IN HW!!! That's depressing.

    The sad fact is this decade the ONLY 2 "great" Heavyweight fights have been Lewis/Klitschko and Brewster/Liakhovich.


    Both were entertaining and represent what a Heavyweight fight should be like.
