    Sanders was a better fighter than people give him credit for. Had he trained and enjoyed boxing like the Klitschko's MAYBE you'd have a point with your hating, but #1 The rematch never materialized and #2 He's dead now.

    Brewster WAS rematched and Wladimir handed him a vicious beating. And don't act like Lamon Brewster was some bum, he was a solid heavyweight. If he was in his prime right now he'd be next in line for a title shot.

    Whatever happened to the Great Kevin McBride or Danny Williams? Face it pal once Tyson got out of prison he never beat Grade A talent again
    sanders was a part time fighter. he may have had the talent but not the skills. brewster was terrible. he was a bum and there is no denying that.

    thats why i say that i voted for 16-25 because of his accomplishments. if it were based solely on a who beats who, then he would be ranked lower. there is no denying what he has done, and he has no control over his era, but he has looked great fighting bums and has looked sloppy against people who werent total bums.

    Have any other heavyweight champions had to fight a Southpaw as dangerous as Sanders?

    Lemon Brewster was very good, if you think he's a bum then your standards are outrageously high.

    So does McCall or Rahman come to mind when thinking of Lewis? Or Frazier and Norton when you think of Ali?
    Lewis pushed for rematches

    and if you think that brewster was a solid HW then your standards are outrageously low.

    after the wlad fight he should have lost to kali meehan which would have easily been the worst fighter to have ever hold a HW title. he was worthless. brewster just got lucky the judges gave him that fight. then he got beat handily beat liakovick. and dont forget that before the wlad fight, he fought all no name fighters except clifford etienne who was an up and coming fighting and he beat brewster. we found out soon after that etienne was worthless too. so no, brewster was not a solid HW. he was terrible.
