    strap Away from Valuev, Chegaev, or Ruiz?

    There needs to be some new blood ...

    yeah I agree but its all about the money with the HW division ... the Klitschko's are the big cash cows.

    I would've liked for Haye to go get that strap and then make a good unification bout with Wlad then we would be one step closer to some clairity ...

    I can see someone else winning that title and then vacating it -

    There's no point going for the WBA belt. Even if you beat Valuev, he gets the decision.
    The WBA has pretty much made itself a non-factor by rotating the same 3 guys in fight after fight.

    I question Valeuvs chin ... he's a big guy and he's been taking punches but theres something about the way he gets hit that makes me question rather he can take a legit HW power punch.

    well, ruiz has opened a challenge to anyone who wants a shot at beating him to become the new WBA mandatory...
    no one seems to be answering his call

    its actually better this way making that title irrelevant cause as soon as somebody unifies it they will release a 2nd title

    at 122 they have 3 champs

    Actually looking forward to this fight. I hope Chagaev will TKO the big *******. Holyfield got robbed.

    The WBO is better now, they actually allow unification, have one champion, and despite not being great about mandatories, have eliminators going on.

    The WBA HW belt will only be kept by someone who wins fights clearly and when was the last time we saw a WBA HW title belt with a clear winner?

    The WBA should be looking to get a "super" champion in the HW division and let these other bums fight each other for the "regular" belt.

    Who the hell would want to fight that cheater? He's either gonna grab onto you for dear life, or act like he's been kicked in the groin when hit with a body shot.:lol:

    Isn't that a bit like Dawson's career?

    Isn't that roughly Dawson against Tarver or Johnson over and over... zzzZZZZZZZZZZ..

    Valouev has a chin of rock.

    Any fighter some do not like, they claim it's better if they quit and give their fighter a free belt. Biased as Hell.
