1. Ibragimov, though being possibly the weakest of the HW title holders, is still a young, strong tittle holder that could beat up Holyfield bad.

2. Assuming that EH actually wins, he will just risk facing some other young strong fighter who would give him another bad beating.

3. Sultan is not even a real champ. Even if Holyfield wins this would mean another BS title to add to the one he won off of Ruiz. Holyfield was NEVER a four time champion and beating Sultan defenately does not make him a five time champion.

This fight is like putting a nail in the coffin for the heavyweight division. To think that these guys were about to have the first unification fight in 10 years and thing might start looking up.

What a crok of SHIIIIIIAAAAAATT

Naah man, you got it twisted. We can't just call the title holders we don't like BS, and then heap praise on other fighters cause we like them or rate them better. At the moment the best thing we have are the four alphabet belts, and we can't disregard one, and then praise another. It's far from perfect, and one governing body would be much, much better, but until then we have to look at the belts as world titles in my opinion.
So you take one of my points and disect it and forget about all the others. The main problem I have with this is that this will only increase the probablility of Holyfield getting permanently and irrevocably hurt, if he is not already.

This hole stuff about having an american champion is also crap. What US is the only one worthy of having a HW title? Is this the only way the division is any good is if the champ is american? And how long do you guys actually think he will hold that title?

And frankly, until these guys start fighting eachother and show the word that they are the best, I don't think any of them are real champs. Even Wlad who keeps fighting people that don't have a chance in hell of beating him. It is like he decided to take 10 fight streak of tune ups so he can recover from being knocked out twice.

I'm sorry, I'm just venting cuz this is starting to get frustrating.
