    Better fighters have not gotten a 2nd chance.
    Worse fighters have had more than one shot.

    Name one, seriously.

    How about a fight with Lucas Browne down under? Or a rematch with Mark de Mori.

    Lucas Browne is perhaps just as terrible, that would make sense as a domestic clash for both I'm sure.

    Can anyone can name a fighter in any weight class who got more than one title shot and was not either clearly better or more accomplished than Lepai, though? I doubt anyone should spring to mind, this guy is really bad.

    All I'm saying it that Leapai has managed to eclipse his literal 15 minutes of 'fame' by 2:05.

    Voting Luis Santana, who got roughly 4,5 and deserved to or did lose them all

    Truthfully though have only seen Leapai two times

    Not even sure I remember his fights with Norris, but going by old trusty boxrec he only received one title shot before that "trilogy". BS or not he beat Norris twice, those second two fights were defences not challenges And I very much doubt he was anywhere near as shit as Lepai

    Lepai will get more pay days because he's a beatable opponent and has just been in with Wlad. Someone like Wilder will fight him next and try and get him out a round or two before Wlad managed to try and look credible.

    seriously? this total bum never even tried. he gave up instantly and knew it was only a payday. I'm the same size as leapai and I woulda put up a better fight than this so called fighter. truly pathetic was the effort he put into this fight.....

    Yeah it's just that simple isn't it. Your a complete fool. "I would have done this and that" is all EVERY opponent has to say. But come fight time that plan goes hay wire doesn't it.

    Why do you think that is? After being punished by ramrod jabs for everything you do, everytime you move for a few rounds whatever plan you had would be out the window and you will just stand there in front of him, ready to be knocked out!

    I think leapai was just a bit naive in his preperation for this fight, it is much easier to say you are going to rush klitschko and get him on the inside.. Getting whacked in the face by wladimir a few times is enough to slow anyone down I'd guess, early knockdowns of povetkin, chagaev and now leapai show this, all these guys eased off a bit after taking a a hit and knockdown from wlad.. I thought leapai was pretty tough he took a fair few hard punches and got up from the floor twice.. Bit unfair to call him a lazy bum or whatever, the guy got a good win v a lesser opponent than wladimir and was made mandatory, he just isnt a world class fighter, no shame in leapais performance, he was just outclassed by a very big man.

    whatever, there were no strong punches thrown at wlad. NONE!! all slow meaningless pit pat punches. it was lame. and yes, I REPEAT, my fat ass woulda put up a better fight and woulda had more courage to step in and and at least try, despite ole glass jaws ever present lame ass jabs, which i thought were slow and boring as usual. Jameel Mccline woulda whupped this guy!

    Lepai fought terribly n didn't try to win. But, one jab from Wlad would put you in la la land.

    Same goes for most of us on this forum. Wlad's boring but he hits hard enough to quickly discourage big, tough, mean professional fighters.

    McCline woulda beat that guy prime, I'd say probably not now. Klitschko comprehensively beat both.

    Wlad's heaps fast and powerful. Leapai would have tried to land some hurtful bombs but fuck me look at the mountain he had to climb to land anything, literally. It was of absolutely no surprise that Alex was nil effective.

    Yeah and if your fat ass tried to take more chances you probably would not have made it past the first round. There's a reason why his opponents are generally quite tentative.

    So Wlad bashes an opponent clean and simple and it's STILL not good enough!

    Chagaev was a great opponent, solid pro record, one of the greatest amateur records out there, very good fighter and strong boxer. Yet completely outclassed and then knocked out by Klitschko.

    And yes, even though the Povetkin fight was something of a disgrace with all the holding, in between all that it was STILL a dominant performance!

    Those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it endlessly.

    The Klits have completely cleaned out the heavyweight division, which is as bereft of talent as I've ever seen it.

    They are reduced to a 21st Century 'Bum of the Month' club, just as other dominant heavyweights had to do ...... Louis against Galento, Ali against Jean Pierre Coopmans.

    Galento is the best comparison, a tubby unskilled street fighter with decent power and not much else, going in with a supremely conditioned talented athlete. Didn't really deserve to be there, but the Champ wanted a payday.

    Why are we surprised or even particularly condemnatory..... This will happen over and over again during our lifetimes.
