This means that it could be at least 2 or 3 years before there is a true American Heavyweight Champion. As much as I hate to say it, and I'm probably going to be disagreed with, but Holyfield, Chambers, and Ruiz are the only ones who imo can really do it. Holyfield could very well be the first to reclaim because he will likely be the first to get a shot unless Chambers sets himself up with a title fight by getting a big win in his next fight. Ruiz has a shot because he is Ruiz and he is hard to beat and still in the picture. Rahman wont regain it imo and Byrd will have a really hard time as well. Thompson has a chance to really get in the picture but it wont be for a while. It isn't really important to me as to what country the titleholder comes from but I think it is interesting this this may end up being the longest time we've gone without a heavyweight champion maybe ever.
CC!Tony Thompson has the best chance and then E.Holyfield,Byrd and Chambers...... Thanks for not mentioning Fat ass Toney!
