    Not for certain but more than likely..........

    Wlad's a good technical HW but Steward has essentially remoulded him into a Lennox clone, but Lewis actually threw right hands

    Blah, blah, excuses, excuses.

    Corrie Sanders did knock Rahman down early in their fight but he couldn't finnish him because he couldn't train due to a knee injury. Oh wait, that would be making excuses like you just did for McCall.

    How was Sanders prime? Most smart people think Wladimir was Corrie's biggest win so that must be his prime regardless of age.

    They do fight very similar styles, before & after Steward. Both were more aggressive earlier but also prone to make amateur mistakes.

    If Wlad doesn't throw right hands than how did he KO all those dudes? Okay, the Austin KO was the hook but really, the right hand is Wlad's money punch & the jab is his bread & butter.

    Speaking of excuses, what exactly happened in that first Brewster fight?

    I wasn't going to bring hypocrisy up but seeing as you started it....

    Let me get your second point straight here....because WALDO was Sanders biggest win that means that must mean Sanders was at his best that night?

    I guess that means that Ali was at his very best against Foreman, regardless of age, right? Moorer was one of Foremans biggest wins too, I suppose he was in his prime in his mid-40's as well :huh

    Wladimir has a better, more powerful & versatile jab than Lewis ever had.

    to be fair rahman was also beating tua until an unfair punch which he was not given time to recover from.

    i would say lewis had a more versatile jab, he could use power or pick shtos with it, wlads is more of a stright power jab.

    I'd like to see him mix it in earlier myself but he plays it safety first & who am I to say, he gets the KO anyway & without risking losing to some lesser fighter.

    Prime Rahman wasn't a bad fighter at all, it just suits the agenda of certain people to try to downplay him.

    Until they start talking about his fight with WALDO obviously, that was the best version of Rahman to ever step through the ropes and he most definately wasn't just a late replacement that was coming into the ring expecting to lose.

    Tony Thompson should have been out of there in the first 5.........and Lewis would make less of a meal of Ibragimov

    Wladimir collapsed due to exaustion or a diabetic condition, Brewster couldn't even knock him down. Pretty good for a supposed glass chin huh?

    Yes. It was his best win so he fought his best fight ever. Pretty logical right?

    ............and if Thompson got in a liver shot amongst his early body shots because Wlad was careless you'd give him a pass?

    I understand Wlad's new perfect killing machine style has some of you hater's skirts all messed up because he simply doesn't make the mistakes to give you guys the ammo you need here. I feel your pain.

    i am pretty sure rahman had no am fights and used to be a drugs enforcer, he certainly was a pretty talented guy to get to the levels he fought at from that background and lack of basic boxing experience.
