i tell you guys, chakhiev himself said he will unify and wait till the KBros are retired and move up to heavy, i would bet my money on him or price to become the next heavy champ. Chakhiev also said that the klitschkos are almost unbeatble!
maybe in a year or two he'll finally man up and actually fight someone who's not just a walking punching bag :rofl
Boytsov is not ready for such a big step up, he needs to slow his career down a bit and sharpen up his fundamentals over the next few years, he's only been pro for 8 years FFS. On the other hand, Chakhiev is the real mother****ing deal and has all the tools to be a solid HW champion, he should take on a top 10 fighter ASAP.
These guys are BOTH ****ing monsters. In a few years they could easily be the new 1-2 kings of the division. (Along with Wilder, if he can somehow get his act together.) - but I agree with a poster above who said Chagaev is faster. That probably would be the deciding factor.
Still, if they ever do face each other, I hope Boytsov wins, because I have a really hard time trying to spell Chak's name. (obviously) I think only Lefthooktommy got it right, and even he avoided Chak's first name. Seriously, Rakhim needs a nickname.
