Who's Fighting Bums?
A conversation that Sean and I had during the Saleta/McCall fight centered around the poor level of competition in the heavyweight division. Here's an old article I found, where the author went back and compared the records of the opponents over whom some of the current heavyweight contenders have triumphed.
Valuev, one of the "unknown quantities" that intrigues me, looks to have a pretty decent 40-ish and 0 record on paper. Of course, you have to remember that Valuev has been almost exclusively fighting in Europe, so don't forget that "tomato cans" in Europe aren't the same as the "tomato cans" here in God's country.
I expect that between both Klitshkos, Brewster, Byrd, Peter, Sam, Rahman and Ruiz there will be some worthwhile entertainment soon (hopefully painted in Ruiz's blood).
