As the heavyweight division continues to flounder, especially with any hope of a Toney-Byrd unification bout destroyed by Lights Out's mishap, let's look at some possible (if not probable) heavyweight non-title fights that can be made...
Peter-Valuev
--Hype, undefeated record eliminator...winner would be public favorite for a title shot...could be a nice HBO Boxing After Dark headliner...
Brock-Golota/Brewster Loser
--Would be a nice step up from McCline, would prepare him nicely for a title shot if he could get past either of these guys...
Wlad-Toney
--"Comeback" fight for Toney after he's stripped? Great HBO Boxing After Dark fight...I think it's possible because Toney will want redemption immediately and the Klit group will surely test Wlad against James before Vitali has to fight him...
(WARNING! Inevitable Tyson could compete in the HW division discussion below!!!)
Tyson-Williamson
--If Tyson can stop McBride impressively (though fights like that are always a lose-lose for Mike), he could take on the perhaps most deserving non-champion in the heavyweight division...not likely though, since DK is involved.
Wlad-Tyson
--Enough said, huge PPV for HBO (presumably, or does Showtime have more fights with Tyson...I thought Tszyu was the last fighter under contract with them)...most entertaining/intriguing nontitle fight possibility
Toney-Tyson
--Well, this or Wlad-Tyson would be the most exciting nontitle possibility...
Basically, without getting repetitive, a round robin of possibilities between Tyson-Toney-Wlad-Peter...any of those fights would be good for the division.
Damn, this division is a mess...
Thoughts?
