    Ruiz and Haye didn’t make any title defences like Martin and Stiverne did.

    I’m glad to see you back brother - that is if you left? Maybe I’ve just been missing you all this time, I’ll say this you were right to make that thread where classic collectively dumped on you for picking on Ezzard Charles (The GOAT) I haven’t forgotten you since and enjoy your presence around here a lot.

    David Haye defended his title against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison.

    Andy Ruiz won the title from a unified champion and held three belts, so that has to be weighed in his favor.

    Neither Martin nor Stiverne defended their title.

    A lot of the 90s heavyweight classics. It’s been so long since I watched them I forgot what happened in what round so it was pretty fun.
