Yes, but I do. If the vast majority of the market doesn't care about someone you would probably claim is the number one ranked heavyweight, if not number one pound for pound, then that presents serious problems for the sport. Great, he beats Tim and Randy, and 80% of the fans don't know who he is. Not good for the sport.
As for the first statement, the best heavyweights want to fight them? I've only heard Randy and Fedor ask to fight each other. There were rumors about Barnett, but nothing was ever set.
I've heard Nog ask to fight Randy, but in many ways that's to legitimize his title and solidify his heavyweight championship.
