Why Chagaev will lose/has no chance.

I can understand why people call Chagaev the White Tyson, and I guess it's because the way he holds his hands, but after that, there is nothing that would depict a Tysonesque image.

For one, Chagaev is more straight up, and a very conventional 1-2 puncher that lacks the aggression, speed, and offensive versatility of Tyson.

Chagaev is also not nearly as quick with his headmovement, and obviously doesn't have near the power that Tyson had to knock his opponents out.

His tenativeness, combined with his southpaw stance, and his basic 1-2 punches being his bread and butter will make this a mismatch against Klitschko.

Don't get me wrong, against other opponents in the heavyweight division, Chagaev looks decent...

Take Povetkin for example.

How Povetkin is so highly rated on this board is out of control considering he looks so amatuer with his lack of headmovement, stiffness of his body, arm punching, and pressure fighting which usually involves him standing right in front of his opponent.

Chagaev also looks better than Chambers who looks even lesser than Povetkin.

But Chagaev should not have the moniker of "The White Mike Tyson" because he doesn't have the skills nor the athleticism to fight the way Tyson did. Tyson moved in quickly, but rarely had to step out because it was his opponent who moved away, not Tyson, because Tyson had the power, speed, and tenacity to pulverise his opponent on the inside.

Chagaev; however, is tenative, and doesn't have the offensive arsenal that an effective inside fighter should have. He doesn't seem very versatile as he mainly relies on very basic 1-2 punching which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is when you're fighting a guy who is fast enough to get away from you with his feet, and also employs the same 1-2 punching gameplan.

Not to mention the fact that Chagaev is a southpaw, and Wlad is a 6'6'' or 6'7'' EXTREMELLY tenative orthadox fighter which means that the distance between Chagaev's left hand and Klitschko's body is just that much farther away.

And considering Chagaev isn't a bully type of fighter, he's going to find out right away how difficult it for him to effectively open up on Klitscko with such a limited punching arsenal and a lack of hand and footspeed, that it may even make him more tenative.

Seeing as Klitschko is unwilling to engage anyone that has a pulse for the most part, this fight may very well be a repeat of Klitschko-Ibriganov.

But with Ibriganov, who admittely sometimes had bad footwork as he crossed his legs, he was faster, a better counterpuncher, and had more power and more versatile offense than Chagaev yet due to his own tenativeness and Klitschko's ascaredness as well, they were both completely reluctant to engage.

Chagaev is an easy fight for Klitschko and Klitschko knows this.

How this is a good fight......

Be real.....

It's not.

Haye on the other hand, while he doesn't have the style of Tyson DOES have the style to beat Wlad, especially with his combination of speed and power.

I won't get into the details of that though because it is too ****IN OBVIOUS.

Anyway......say what ya'll got to say.

 

Can anybody tell me why Chagaev is good?

 

Can someone please break this down and at least ATTEMPT to prove me wrong.

 

Man, **** the politics.

I said he has no chance.

Do you think he has a chance? If not, why not throw in mother ****in Jose Canseco?
