Because Wlad has a granite chin himself right, especially during that period and against a superior and more experienced fighter :good
wlad gets destroyed fast by guys who he shouldn't have been defending a world title against in a month of sundays, utter unfit weaklings.
Wlad looked in horrific shape against Brewster. He was gassed at the beginning of round two. By round 3 he could barely get up from his chair. He almost fell to the floor when landing a punch on Brewster later in the same round. You call that 'great shape'? Wlad was in terrible condition for Brewster I.
You have the right name because you have the boxing knowledge of a beetle:rofl Knowing both fighters Lennox & Ike the bull**** you spewed is hilarious. 1....If Lennox had have fought Chris Byrd he would have almost decapitated him same way Ike Ibeabuchi did. I saw some other fool claim Lennox ducked John Ruiz atsch 2.... Wlad had the chance to challenge Lennox after Lennox destroyed Vitali but was suddenly "unavailable" wonder why ?? 3... when Ike fought Tua Tua was being called The Next Tyson etc When I predicted on a boxing forum that Ike would beat Tua I was ridiculed. Lots of guys had to eat crow pie 4... There was an a verbal agreement after Ike beat Byrd that if he won one more fight he was getting a shot at Lennox. Now that really would have been a barnburner fight. Sadly as we all know a lieing hooker and a biased judge totally destroyed. Both Lennox and Ike wanted that fight BAD!!! The man that owes everything he has to Emmanuel Steward is Wladimir Klitschko So my friend before you make an more ludicrous posts take the time to learn the sport and know what you are taliking about OK:good
if so, why wasnt it postponed truth is, Wlad had yet to develop that subtle skill he relied on in later years. That of picking a poorly conditioned weakling, and then running in terror from the weakling until they tired. but credit for beating haye and povetkin with this run and hide in terror from the midget facing you style..
I'm not going to be drawn into this argument again. I will say: That 3 fight deal was instantly killed when Tyson basically said "are you ****ing nuts?" and Lewis actually declined a fight with Vitali that Spring because he didn't like the 10 million offer. Vitali was actually Lewis' WBC #1. Lewis went against the WBC and may have took a pay cut to get the Johnson fight made, claiming money doesn't mean anything to him. Funny, I guess money only matters if your opponent is Chris Byrd, but never challenge me on this topic. The World Boxing Council may not sanction the fight with Johnson due to objections from German-based Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko who believes he should be Lewis' opponent. Promoters have not disclosed the size of the purse for the fight and Lewis showed little interest when questioned about his potential earnings. "I don't really think about money anymore," Lewis said.

Lewis on paper has never came close to facing someone on the level as Wlad Klitschko so it's not really surprising Lewis ducked the hell out of that fight and wanted no part of it. Lewis's best ever win is either an old shot former LW or the much, much worse Klitschko brother. No wonder he wanted no part of Wlad.
not the same as wlad wanting no part of 38 year old retired never achiever Corrie Sanders. ironically name, mr iron chin.
did he really fight 38 year old sanders? not 37 year old. read again, dip****. but keep digging. I didn't think you could get any worse off than in your previous post but you surprised me there.
With all due respect here, Wlad had to piece together his shattered career when Lewis fought Vitali. It had been only three months since he had been destroyed in slightly over a round by Sanders. He was in no position to challenge Lewis at that time, nobody would take him as a credible opponent and he would be no where near ready mentally for such a fight.
and he would last nowhere near as long as he did against corrie. no ones paying big bucks for a fight that promises to last less than 30 seconds.
