Vitali Klitschko’s dominating defense of his World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title over No. 1 ranked challenger Cristobal Arreola on Sept. 26 on HBO drew the highest rating of 2009 for an HBO World Championship Boxing telecast. Klitschko-Arreola scored higher ratings than Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley’s welterweight world title fight and the Juan Diaz-Juan Manuel Marquez bout for the linear lightweight championship..
And yet, you ask an average Joe who is the designated heavyweight champ of the world he still couldn't tell you, hence pulling the plug on this division was the right move.
