That had nothing to do with corruption, there was a beef with the sanctioning bodies. DM had a choice to keep the WBA or the WBO, he kept the WBO and was stripped of the WBA. He voluntarily dropped the IBF due to a whole other issue involved with a lawsuit.
Look, when its coming from Rick, it's right. You can bet on it...good time to be quiet

How can you say the IBF deal had nothing to do with corruption? DM was ordered by the IBF to fight Gutherie within 30 days of his win over Hill.
Corrie Sanders and Buster Doughlas? Er, they are Heavy Weights. Douglas was a name when Jones was a Middlewieght. Lets keep this in the realm of possibility and reason. Its like saying if Pac is soo good, why dosen't he challenge Spinks? There is a reason people applude Jones for beating Ruiz (I, for one, don't) its because he is small, even for a Lt Heavy.
He really shouldn't be calling those people out then should he. He backed out of the Douglas fight at the last minute because his dad told him that it wasn't worth it for his career, which it probably wasn't.
Roy Jones and Dariusz blew it. They were the two best light heavies. You can argue who was linear, who should've fought on whose turft, etc. and everyone has a legitimate point.
BUT, the fact is they didn't make the fight happen. They could've easily had this fight in some place other than Germany or the USA as a compromise. Did they even try? No.
Jones and Dariusz are passe. They're old news. They've both been beaten. They missed their chance. F!ck them both. Tarver KTFOs both of them on the same night and I don't think Tarver is all that special.
Actually you can't argue who the linear champ was.
