He should be rerguarded temporarily as the true Heavyweight champion of the world. Chris Byrd has been ranked at #1 on most lists for a while now, and Wlad has beat and fought good opposition. The winner of this fight should fight the winner of (Rahman-Toney II or Rahman-Maskaev II) to determine who the best heavyweight in the world is. Valuev and Ruiz should fight again and the winner of that should fight the winner of the above......And that would clarify the heavyweight division......or make it a hell of a lot more confusing
