It was worded so badly that it was confusing posters. I edited so that the question is black and white; either you think it should be a "title fight" or a "nontitle fight." Zero bias

One thing I don't understand. You all are whining how HW division is bad, awful and so on but most of you comment mostly on HW fights..
Surely you can find the satisfactory 'quality' and 'excitement' in the other divisions or if you can't live without HW then there are enough old HW tapes you can rewatch.

Originally posted by edgarg View PostI recall reading more than once that the heavyweight champion can only fight title fights or exhibitions, but not a non-title fight. I believe that the reason was that whilst other champions could fight non-title fights by having one contestant weigh in over the limit, this didn't apply with heavyweights. I don't know if this is still valid.
Another little sidenote; In the days of "non-title" fights, the only way any champion could lose his title was by KO. I know that Benny Leonard won his title that way, KO ing freddie Welsh.
As for the question on the OP then I'd say that despite this being a pretty bad challenger it's far from being the worst.
What about Jean-Pierre Coopmans, Leon Spinks, Pete Rademacher, Scott LeDoux? Those are just names that immidiately springs to mind and they where all fights for the title.
Jab. You know your history. This question is kinda trolling.
