Dear God, Grant Me An American Heavyweight

After witnessing the alien snoozer that was Peter/Maskaev I've drawn the conclusion that foreigners (+ Shannon Briggs) have ****ed up the heavyweight division. With all of its most recognizable "talent" having origins outside of the States, the heavyweight division is not only dismal, but impratical. Who wants to watch two lumbering, limited boxers fight for what's sure to be a sham of a title? You can't even broadcast a HW feature on PPV anymore. The flagship division has been so downtrodden as of late that the little guys are the most marketable fighters heading the PPV cards. The next PPV bout is Pacquiao vs Marquez. I'm not saying this is not a PPV-worthy fight, but to not have enough interest in the HW division to have its championship fights on PPV is embarassing. I can understand why, too. Outside of Klitschko, these sonsabitches don't even have the decency to come into their fights in shape . . . outside of the fact they have a limited skill set.

I know the flak is coming, but Ruiz can take either of those two bums (Peter & Maskaev) and Chagaev or whoever the hell he is. Ruiz is being blackballed because he's the only talented boxer left in the HW division.

Dear God, please grant me an American heavyweight with hands of stone, chin of granite, speed of cheetah, and endurance of stallion. Is that too much to ask? Can we restore the heyday of heavyweight boxing?

For what?, so he would be boo'd once he becomes a star and **** on by his own people more than foreigners?. The only thing American fans have been doing lately is jump on any foreign bandwagon they could find it's becoming funny. THAT or America has been giving far too many free passports for trash lately.
