I forgot no such thing, I was merely pointing out the end of Lewis' reign had a poor pool of talent. Sure guys liek Ruiz and Byrd had earned their title shots, but obviously neither would have posed any threat to Lennox. The same is true right now, though most fighters haven't earned their title shots and the ones that have just refuse to take the final step.

The division has ALWAYS been filled with inconsistancy, lackluster performers, and faded talent it'll still have some decent fights, but you're going to have to look for them. The last top heavyweight fights I've seen were Lewis-Vitali and Brewster-Liakhovich.
