Fans and experts alike are in search of the one fighter who will step up to the plate and lead the heavyweight division. Fighters who were considered midcard contenders several years ago are now heavyweight champions. Fighters who were retired from the sport are now main players. And for the first time in a very long time, there is not a single household name in the heavyweight division.
The reason there are no household names in the heavyweight division is because most of the fighters are boring in one way or another, either they have a boring personality, a boring fighting style or a combination of both.

Toney is willing to fight anyone at anytime, but nobody on top is running to meet the challenge. [details]
