| Re: Tim Sylvia - Ray Mercer - Spoilers Maybe some people.. but I brought up that he was a champion in UFC and I also brought up how he made his name on AA and how the UFC heavyweight division was weak when Sylvia was champion.
We want to talk about revisionist history.. lets start there. Saying Tim Sylvia is a former heavyweight champion holds as much weight as saying John Ruiz was a heavyweight champion in boxing or Corrie Sanders was a heavyweight champion in boxing. It may technically be true.. but does it make them great?
Champions aren't solely judged on their titles or records.. they are also judged on their peers and how well they performed against quality opponents.
If Brock Lesnar defeats Frank Mir, he will already have more quality wins than that of Sylvia. That speaks volumes on where the division was..
