Yahoo: Sylvia knows why his "dream fight" against Sims is denied

[Clark Kent]

02-18-2010 10:45 AM:It gets worse for Tim Sylvia. Or maybe he just got a great break. Sylvia's proposed fight against Wes Sims has been turned down by the commission in Ohio. The reason? Sylvia explained via Twitter.

That's it? Did the commission really say Sims "sucks?" Probably not. But we get the point. Sylvia has had a tough time finding fights since his eight second destruction at the hands of 48-year-old Ray Mercer. Would a win over Sims be a way to get his career on track or simply more material for his detractors to use in mocking him? Frankly, Sims doesn't deserve another payday after the way he acted following his loss to Bobby Lashley at Strikeforce: Miami. Sims called Lashley, a "juiced-up monkey."
