    Any thoughts? My first reaction is that to have 67 world title fights is a tad to much plus the unclear merry go round of fighters having belts is what makes boxng so confusing for the masses.

    Thoughts?

    I saw all of those except Evander Holyfield vs. John Ruiz and the only ones I enjoyed were Vitali vs. Lewis and Lyakhovich vs. Brewster.

    So 2/64~ fights, well.. the division needs Haye vs. Wladimir BADLY, and we have something that is deserving of a heavyweight championship, FINALLY.

    Here's hoping this is added to the list, later this year;

    Vitali Klitschko vs. Ruslan Chagaev WBA WBC

    The titles being apart for so long really made each one next to worthless. At least we now have one fighter holding two titles, so there are only three titleholders now. Hopefully, if Vitali fights the WBA titleholder at some point, that will further clear things up, leaving onlyl two title holders, each with two. Then, if victorious, I see Vitali retiring, leaving complete unification possible..

    wow uve seen them all?

    John Ruiz vs Hasim Rahman stands out as a very poor fight for me.

    Lennox dismantling a good prime Hasim Rahman was highly impressive as was Vlad performance against byrd and Austin.


    What i noticed was the recyclying of contenders such as A. Golota, Jameel mcline and old E. Holyfield.....this is what makes boxing lack cutting edge in high level performance when champion get to handpick certain men who arent a huge risk.

    Dude, Golota won 2 of 3 those fights , he got robbed against Byrd and Ruiz ask any1,

    not to mention Bowe fights , so how the **** u can call him nonrisky contender?

    also that old holyfield won against Valuev on the ring (maybe not on the scorecards)

    Against Ruiz Golota was robbed but against Byrd.. i don't think so. Scorecards can go for Byrd and for Golota too.

    Your missing the point no fighter gets around 6 or so WORLD title fights such as Golota and lose every single time.

    Its like Jerry Quarry fighting for the title 6 times and never winning.

    Title fights should be unified as soon as possible.......

    Pathetic.

    Every generation probably looks on its current division unfairly, but here we really do have an utter **** fest.
