There you go with the heavyweight champ being the top guy in the sport thing again, surely you know this isn't true. I'm gonna repost my comment from the MMA Predictions thread, because it was quite rightly pointed out that I should bring it over here.

But hell, even in boxing the heavyweight champs aren't considered the best in the world. Just look at The Ring pound-for-pound rankings - not a single heavyweight in the top 10, and the top guy is a junior welterweight.
Do you really believe the heavyweight division is the pinnacle of any combat sport, or are you just saying that so you can rag on MMA?
