He pulled out because he tore ligaments in his knee...not because of fear...maybe he's been out too long for you to remember he is far better than 99% of the top HW's...his fight with his brother to unify the division will settle the other 1%....
He may be better than 99% of the Heavies, but he made a concious decicion to retire and he shouldnt be able to came back and right off the bat fight for a title. And i know he was winning the byrd fight but he wasnt exactly hurt like McCline was against VAluev. He should have continued imo but thats in the past. I still am not as immpressed with his resume than others may be
