UNBELIEVABLE...That is all I can say. Rumor is that Don King has not given up on Andrew Golota, even in the wake of his dismal showing against Lamon Brewster. Somehow after being blasted out in less than a round by Brewster in an attempt to win the lightly regarded W.B.O. belt, Andrew has put himself in line for a shot at the W.B.A. version of the heavyweight title. Say what???

     Andrew may be matched with 7' Nikolai Valuev and the winner will probably secure a shot against newly re-instated W.B.A. titleholder John Ruiz. Go figure...

     Today's heavyweight division is becoming a JOKE, plain and simple. Since Lennox Lewis retired the division has been in a total state of chaos and an end does not appear to be in sight. Most people regard W.B.C. champion Vitali Klitschko to be the best of the lot. The I.B.F. recognizes Chris Byrd, who holds a win over Vitali but has lost to Vitali's little brother Wladimir. Byrd drew with Golota and Wladimir got clocked by W.B.O. claimant Lamon Brewster. Well, then Golota lost a debatable decision to W.B.A. titleholder John Ruiz. This is the same Ruiz who lost his title once to Roy Jones Jr. Then he got his butt whipped by James Toney but Toney tested positive for steroids and John was handed back his belt even though Toney clearly beat Ruiz.

     I understand that rules are rules and James left himself open to being stripped. Nevertheless, after losing to Jones Jr. and Toney plus a bogus decision win over Golota, how can anyone take the Ruiz claim to the title seriously?

     Now Vitali will meet the winner of Hasim Rahman-Monte Barrett. Rahman has a loss on his record to John Ruiz. Chris Byrd is scheduled to meet Sergei Liakhovich. Ruiz may have to meet the winner of Golota-Valuev.

     Wait...It gets worse. Brewster, who is fresh off his stunning one round slaughter of Golota, may now have to meet Luan Krasniqi who recently took out Lance Whitaker.

     I feel that I may be speaking for a lot of fans when I ask...Who's Da Champ?
