If Wlad/Ibragimov wasn't a stinker...

Wlad does have a good personality and is very articulate, he made David Haye look like a complete prat before their fight. However I do not think he could break into the US even if he was more destructive, Lennox Lewis could not do it so Wlad would not be able so either.

Lennox's case I find puzzling. He gave us some exciting fights. Maybe it was his very soft-spoken personality I don't know. I do think it was a bit unfair of the American public not to warm up to Lennox. Maybe it was that he followed the Tyson era. One could argue that it would've been a downer for any boxer to have followed Mike Tyson.

Lennox was not American, he did fight negative at times and he always talked about himself as a third person probably annoyed the yanks.

Lewis followed Bowe & Holyfield. Not the biggest punchers, not intimidating fighters, but guys whose styles matched up well.
