This was probably the case for Lennox Lewis as well. Either way Wlad is a well oiled machine of destruction in the HW division.
CC to ya good post.....You are right at times guys with solid jaws tend to disreguard things knowing they have the chin to back them up.....And in truth you are right his chin is not like fine china....Sanders hits like a sledge hammer and in the Brewster fight he was gassed
If Wlad would do half of what Lennox did...if he would avenge his losses...mainly the one to Sanders...he's already knocked Brewster off...then he'd be aces in my book...he actually already is as far as the heavies are concerned.

In the end...Wlad catches waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much flack.

I like Wlad and am a big fan...I do not really give him any flack for the losses...they happened Wlad is still coming into his own even though he is the best HW today he has growing to do...Like I said there is no shame in losing to sanders..especially at that point in his career...the loss crazy as it sounds may have done him good...He was starting to get a little too much involved in his own hype at the time.....Lennox did not really become the champion he was until he was 34 or so......

With that being said I think I am a little bit biased when it comes to Lennox....IMO he is the best HW since Holmes and that is saying a lot......Wlad and many others have a looong way to go before even being able to have a comparison to Lewis....

Lennox could box as good as any HW there was with the exception of Louis and Ali...and he had a sledge hammer of a right hand when he let it go...he could out box you or he could get the one punch KO...both losses were due to his cocky attitude and like you said he avenged them both....I can still hear the shot he landed on Rahman in the rematch...
