:deal Yup, yet another heavyweight bout that has snoozer written all over it. I might watch if its free and I'm home. I certainly wont make plans to see it....
Ruslan cant beat Wlad but he is another title holder so why not. Just another Belt for Wlad to unify.
Based on his Chin alone Chagaev has a better chance than Haye who would get KTFO by the first punch Wlad throws.
Chagaev is a more attractive fight. He is bigger and a champ at heavyweight. Neither Haye nor Chagaev will beat Wlad, but I think Chagaev KOs Haye.
Is he faster than Ibriganov? Ibriganov was fighting like a counterpuncher, but Wlad fought scared. Not a good fight.
Real stupid question, totally unrelated but how the hell do I upload my pic on the side. I've never seen an option to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Apologies for my lack of PC skills...
i dont think in general hands wise hes quicker then ibragimov but i do believe he's a better smarter counter puncher then iggy. this is the best fight then can be made jun 20th. wlad doesnt have to wait for squat he's the champ. if haye cant go oh well 2 bad. he can box povetkin to determine number 1 contender while wlad faces chagaev june 20th. simple really
He hasn't fought anybody, and I disagree. They're about the same category except Ibriganov probably has faster hands. Ibriganov actually looked like he had skills after being trained by Mayweather, but unfortunately he left his balls before his fight with Briggs and never gained them back, but at least he managed to run away (literaly) with a victory over Briggs. Chagaev hasn't fought anyone of note, so of course he can look mobile against an immobile opponent. Maybe Chagaev at least has balls, but as soon as he gets tagged with a hard shot from Klitschko, we'll see how he reacts. I suspect we'll see a fight very similiar to the one with Ibriganov where Klitschko boxes tenative as hell and plays keep away. He won't try to engage Chagaev and Chagaev will find that he isn't fluid enough to get inside without getting tagged and will be more than happy to at least finish the fight standing up, and collect a paycheck as he allows Klitschko to stay on the outside, far away from harm's way. ****, maybe we'll see an ultra aggressive Chagaev, but he's also a southpaw and against Wlad, that means that there's going to be a distance problem as well, and honestly Chagaev doesn't have the arsenal to deal with Wlad.
