...worthy of too much attention, but he's the Heavyweight champ of the world.
That title USED to mean something. Now, Don King, and the massive increase in size (but not skill) in the division has made it a joke.
Veering WAAAAY off topic, but the most exciting stuff in boxing today is happening at the middleweight/welterweight area. Its like the golden days of Hearns, Hagler, Duran, etc. have returned with great fighters like Sugar Shane Mosely, Oscar DeLaHoya, and to a lesser extent (I think, anyway) Trinidad and Vargas.
In short, heavyweight boxing sucks, but there's some really great fighters in the lesser-weight divisions.
