    :good As plan B's go, this is a very good one. Credit to both guys for taking the fight, Wladimir could have took another Rahman esc guy brought in with no chance of winning and due to the late cancellation I wouldn't have blaimed him.

    It was actually a stroke of amazingly good luck that Chagaev is trained and ready, and only one week away from his canceled Valuev fight.

    Chagaev is good, but the layoff and weak choice of his last opponent will hurt him. Wlad by UD closer than Ibragimov fight and more exciting but no way does Chagaev win this one.

    I am concerned. Chagaev is a very tough, undefeated southpaw with good power & a good chin.

    Chagaev already beat Valuev & Ruiz, two of the other options for June 20th.

    Should have been Povetkin but we'll just have to settle for Vitali vs Haye this year. :D

    Nice how you tried and failed to make like Wlad's the one that cancelled the date when it reality it was the Hayefaker that couldn't make the show.

    If Chagaev is anything like when he faced Valuev, he will be very tough test for Wladimir.

    Wlad may have some trouble adapting to a southpaw on such short notice, but other than that I am picking Wlad by UD. It will be nice to see the heavyweight division having a more unified title holder.
