Remember this nonsense the heavyweight division had to endure?

I do. At this point, Byrd was the IBF and Ruiz the WBA. I forget who had the WBO (Brewster?) and WBC.......(Maskaev?)

Heavyweight boxing was the Don King channel.............All Don King, all the time........

I see those who are the criticizing of the current *two headed champion* as ridiculous when you put it in comparison to the situation back then.


Having two extremely dominant fighters makes this a fantastic era for heavyweight boxing, when compared to the era of King and his controling all four titles........all four being held by different fighters..........and worst part of it, they were all avoiding each other.


I would take Wlad and Vitali's dynasty ANY day, over the King era.

A conteder surfaces, gets his ass handed to him by one of the brothers, and then they are then on to the next............. noone is left out and noone is avoided.......What is so bad about that, when you compare it to King's era?

I don't get it.
