Anyway!! This is done all the time to give the oldschool guys another shot at glory it's basically their names that get them title shots and spots on rankings....

Did Foreman deserve a shot at the WBA & IBF belts vs. Moorer?
Did ODLH deserve a shot at the WBC belt vs. Mayorga?

I think not, but it happens

Surprised? Me? No not at all.
Who do you think is willing to file an investigation against the WBC & Mr. Sulaiman?
At one point I respected the WBC the most but lately they have been doing some shady shet!! and not like they havent in the past either (Muniz vs. Napoles I) Most major bodys in boxing are just getting worst & worst the IBF, IMO takes the cake. Lets strip JMM of his belt, buts lets keep Zab as our Champ after Baldomir wooped his a$$ just cause Baldomir didn't give us our cut of the pie....

Sorry I originally wrote this post on another site then copied it to this site. On the other site I have a holyfield avatar. Anyways I understand the whole thing about Holyfield having a name and being a all time great and blah blah blah. But the fact is he was embarrassed by Larry Donald and that performance was so awfull that his license was taken away. George Foreman at 45 never had a performance that bad. Now if Holyfield got a title shot that is a whole different story, because almost anybody can get a title shot. A champion does not always have to fight a mandatory. A title shot does not always have to be earned, that is a fact. Giving Holyfield a undeserved title shot is one thing, but giving him a #15 ranking is another.Because a ranking you have to earn and a title shot you don't always have too earn. Now I know this type of sh*t happens in boxing all the time. And I"m sure you and everybody else can give me 100 examples in which fighters got undeserved rankings and undeserved title shots. I know this. But in this particular case I think they really need to investigate who excatly was paid off to give Holyfield such a underserved ranking. Because all Suliman is doing now is taking up a ranking that a new up and comer deserves. This is yet another example of why boxing is going down the tubes. Somebody really needs to clear this sh*t up!!
