      I think its more a testament to how bad the heavyweight division is today. And before anyone says a word about Foreman, at least he was a PR genius and a reporters dream. That helped go a long way to lining up his title shots against both Evander and Moorer. McCall has no such leverage or personality to warrant a title shot. Jmo.

        I think the heavyweight divison has 3 solid champions in the klitschko brothers and haye, its the guy ranked below like kevin johnson and chris arreola that are bad for the divison they get shots at the title and they turn up not to win or out of shape

          Given the dearth of credible challengers I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a shot.

            As a heavyweight the jury is still out on Haye. But I agree with the rest of what you posted.

                    A very average HW all-in-all, with some rather interesting strengths & somewhat unusual short-comings.

                    He was the best fighter ever to have beaten Lennox Lewis, you could say --- but only by virtue of the fact Rahman was a truly awful fighter. Great ring alias he had, though. Always liked the sound of it. Shame it don't belong to one of the greats.

                    Anyone aware of how he got it?
