    On current form - not anytime soon. He is still the best HW out there and he seems to enjoy what he is doing.

    You mean on Leapai form?

    Wilder would of put Leapai away within two rounds and people would still be complaining he hasn't stepped up.

    Wlad has to step up now and quit fighting tweeners

    Fight who though? He's fought #2s and #3s a lot and is fighting #2 Pulev next and will then go after Wilder/Stiverne.

    Britt Lennox sold PPVs in the USA against American top HWs which aren't available today. Lennox made his money against fighting Holyfields and Tysons -- he was lucky to be able to fight them because after Lennox retired the big money making PPV fighters disappeared from the US.

    When Lennox fought guys like Mavrovich or Botha (= what's available to Wlad today) it wasn't on PPV. If Lennox was entering the HW division today he wouldn't have a chance of getting PPV fights in the states. There are simply no opponents marketable in the US and Lennox himself isn't marketable in the US, he never was popular. His opponents were.

    When Vlad fights he usually gets knockouts, but when Void fights there is running, holding, elbowing, complaining, etc. USTV has tried to destroy Vlad's career, but Vlad has drawn 65,000 fans at ringside live, Void can't draw flies..............................
