He is waiting for Ross Purrity`s skills to diminish over a few months more before daring to challenge him to a rematch, perhaps corrie sanders will have put on some more pounds and be further past his prime by 2008 and be a safe bet to challenge.
I heard it was his hand too. He has been wearing a cast or a wrap or whatever that is on his hand for a while. This content is protected
Maybe the hand really is a legit reason, then. Don't really matter, cause there is noone avialable to fight, now, anyway. I'd rather not see him chance hurting his hand, again, on some meaningless fight like Thompson. Hurting his hand on Thompsons head would then screw up Wlad being ready for when an important opponent comes available.
I'd love to see him fight again as well, one thing I respect about Wladimir is the fact that he's VERY active, totally unlike his brother. He already fought twice this year and a third will be amazing but if that's the case then all we could do is wait.
I'm sure you're joking here but if not then a rematch with Sanders is totally pointless, it's like fighting Golota or McBride next just for the sake of staying "active". :yep
