If you look at the linear title, there are a few guys who stick out as being among the worst linear champs in history: Moorer, Leon Spinks, Briggs, Rahman, Douglas, etc. But none of those other fighters was ever able to repeat the feat, there were 1-hit wonders.

If Rahman wins today, he won't be linear champ, since there is no lineage since Lewis retired. But everyone considers Wlad the #1 heavyweight out there, so if Rahman wins, he would have to be considered a legit heavyweight champ, for the 2nd time.

Don't get me wrong, I think Rahman will get destroyed today. It's just interesting to think about what it would mean if he did pull off the huge upset.
wouldnt be half as bad as seeing Valuev pick up another world title just for the fact nobody can hurt him because step ladders arent allowed in the ring.

Absoloutely no boxing ability whatsoever other than a lop handed jab that always ends up in a complete different direction to which he threw it at.

demeans the whole division by having valuev in it
