Holyfield in his prime beats John Ruiz 10 times out of ten. Should Holyfield lose it would be clear how far past his prime he really is. A single division can have 5 or 6 champs. I believe the pool is extremely diluted and getting worse. The champs only seem to fight 1-2 times a year, rarely fighting anyone competitive.
Unifications are rare at best.
I and my friends are getting very frustrated with this situation. If they do not, boxing will remain in its current state of confusion where sanctoning bodies seemingly arbitrarily rate fighters. We need someone to clean up the sport from inside the United States and the rest of the world will follow. Mike Tyson is a contender at this very moment. He is scheduled to fight in September and if he wins he is right back in the title picture.
