Hell of a fight for certain but it was by no means a planned occurrence, Lennox was supposed to go out an easy winner instead of a gassed out champion who got lucky with a cut.

#2 Show me where in boxing that brothers have fought each other. Roger and Floyd Mayweather Sr? JC Jr and Omar Chavez? Max and Buddy Baer? Kubrat and Tervel Pulev? Joe and Arturo Gatti? Matthew and Ricky Hatton? It doesn't happen, I'm sorry that's just the facts and it's infantile to keep pressing the "Wlad and Vitali should have fought each other" issue when nobody else did it and for good reason.
I didnt say they should fight. I just said Wlad hasnt fought anyone near Vitalis level. Which is what you asked for?
