Alright wacko i'm gonna do something really dangerous and try to understand your logic.
You have an intense dislike for toney at heavyweight when he is obviously the most skilled fighter in the division yet you rally behind the missing link because you think cavemen should have equal rights in boxing as well.
Toney beat ruiz very capably. And don't give me that he was on steroids crap. it was to treat a right arm (bicep?) muscle injury and it just so happened to be a banned substance in boxing. Prior to that the man has been clean his entire career and held titles at many other weight classes without the help of a chemical boost. After 60+ some fights i doubt he'd be looking for an easy way out. He should rightfully be the wba champion.
Let's move on to the modern day wba champion. He's 7'3" and has the mobility of an elephant with arthritic knees. His excessive reach is more than enough to handle the bums he's been in the ring with. He arguably didn't beat ruiz despite his huge height advantage but thanks to the home town advantage, he got the decision. His leaning on other fighters is down right pitiful. He should not be allowed to lay on his opponents until they gas out. Boxing success is supposed to be measured by hard work in the gym to develop superior skills not just being so huge that you can tire people out with your size.
Conclusion: the wba is losing credibility at the heavyweight division and with the wbc not too far behind (ranking a man that has fought nothing but bums with an 18-4 record, i saw somewhere list it as 18-8 prior to the match, in the top 25 of the division is an absolute joke), it's slowly becoming a one legit belt race with the ibf belt which is thankfully in the hands of the "best" boxer the division can offer at this current time who has fought the "best" opposition available for him. As for trying to understand wacko's logic, it cannot be done from a sober standpoint.
