Heavyweight boxing

Ruiz as WBA champ

A Byrd - Golota rematch for the IBF belt

Lamon Brewster is WBO champ (I've never even heard of the guy, but he looks at least 30 lbs overweight)

Corrie Sanders as WBC champ.

Look at these four guys, Ruiz is a very very ordinary fighter, who was completely owned by Roy Jones, Byrd has an ackward style but he cant punch he is a natural cruiserweight and he is not exactly a great fighter, Ive never even heard of this Brewster guy, and Sanders is a nothing more than a heavy handed journeyman.

In my opinion not one of these guys is fit to hold a world title, but who else is there? Wladimir looks finished, his brother has all the same basic flaws and the same mechanical amateur style, Mesi isnt near world class, the only person in the division who seems to be able to create any excitement is a washed up, out of shape, emotionally unstable Mike Tyson.

I honestly cannot think the heavyweight division has EVER been in as bad a state as it is now... I even heard rumours George Foreman was considering a comeback...
