How did Vaughan Bean ever get a title shot against Holyfield or Akinwande get a title?

It happens.
IHY... but Bean wasn't as hyped or as weak kneed or chinned. Mitchell clearly was. Bean also was a much better boxer... but Bean clearly was handed a shot he shouldn't have had.
Michael Moorer never beat a top 10 heavyweight until he faced a heart attack waiting to happen Holyfield.
But Moorer was a dominant LH Champion... and unbeatable at LH. When Moorer was pouring it on at 175, it wasn't a matter of if he would turn the HW, but when?
