Wladimir doesn't have the deep division that Lewis got to fight in...but it's not too far off. Lewis had fighters to fight that were NAME RECOGNITION fighters...Holyfield, Tyson, Golota, Tua, etc....also Wladimir is only 31 and he has already won 49 fights....44 by KO!!!
Totally ruined him? lol. Is that why he outboxed James Toney in their second fight? I mean Peter doesn't train right, over looks, or whatever, looks bad against McCline and suddenly Wladimir ruined him? Gimme a break.
