These are desperate times. The allure of the heavyweight championship, supposedly the greatest prize in sport, was not enough to prevent Vitali Klitschko, a mediocre fighter at best, from abdicating it and millions of dollars in favor of political ambition. Our collective lamentation of this was pitiful not because of the loss of Klitschko, but for the continued exposure of the heavyweight division’s sheer desolation.

In all but natural size, he is inferior to Toney, yet is charged with the task of putting Toney in his place. Indeed, it is Toney’s performance that will discern the rightful order of things.
