Ezra. (talk) 23:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC) : At the end, under trivia, the page reads "He is one of only six southpaw heavyweight champions in history. The others are Michael Moorer, Corrie Sanders, Chris Byrd, Ruslan Chagaev and Rocky Balboa."[reply]

Rocky Balboa is a fictional character and, as such, has never been a heavyweight champion.

http://www.wbaonline.com/news/news030707a.asp (Acc. Dec 5 07) says that he is the fifth heavyweight champion southpaw of all time. I'm changing the page to reflect this.

Muslim[edit]

Hey, I think the recent (April, 2007) article in the NYT Sunday magazine says Ibragimov is a Muslim. Without proof to the contrary, I will put this in the article. --Teetotaler

This is 2007, no one cares about religion anymore, thank God. More important: what ethnicity is Sultan? He is from Dagestan, in which the greatest ethnic group are the Avar (around 40% of the Dagestan population). Does anyone know if he is Avar? Some say he is Ingush, some say he is Chechen, some say he is Kalmyk.

HE IS "ДАГЕСТАНЕЦ" (DAGESTANIAN-DAG) !

NO "CHECHEN" ! NO "KALMYK"(ASIANS) !

Be that as it may, just because he has an Islamic-sounding name doesn't mean he is religious. I have therefore removed the "Russian Muslims" category, as it lacks any citation. Re: "Without proof to the contrary" - please see WP:LIVING and WP:V. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 11:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any source saying that he, or Ruslan Chagaev for that matter, are both Muslims?--69.21.103.254 (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sultan & timur[edit]

I hear they're not cousins, or related in any way: video commentary: timur v tony thompson Hakluyt bean (talk) 22:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
