    I personally don't agree with this and rate Vitali Klitschko as no1, but according to The Ring policy, if no1 vs. no2 can't happen, no1 (Wlad) and no3 (Chagaev) could fight for the vacant belt.

    So The Ring magazine is going to crown the Heavyweight Champion this weekend! Who takes the crown?

    Can't wait.

    Peak for peak Chagaev would have had a decent chance IMO.

    On form...hard to make a case for Ruslan.

    wlad by mid round KO....i'll be supporting ruslan, but on paper this is a brutal mismatch....wlad has all the advantages, and ruslan is slow and doesnt have a big punch to make a dramatic difference.....the only chance he has is to get inside, and i dont think it will happen, wlad will jab him to death, everytime ruslan trys to come inside.

    Wladimir will be crowned, it is not even just my opinion, Wlad is the better Fighter of e'm two. Im waiting Chagaev put a performance and maybe getting stopped late in cuts. Wlad will fight very cautios at beginning like with all southpaws but take control later on. Prime condition Chagaev I think last the distance but lose clearly on points.

    Good Dec. By The Ring , IMO
    Wlad defo is the true champion of the division.
    & should Chag defeat him he should take his spot.

    I like Vitali, But let's be honest in his absence Wlad has been holding it down.
    (Everyone knows Vitali>Wlad in a fight, But it will never happen)

    Vitali's granite jaw would take Wlad's bombs with ease. Wlad would crumble after the first Vitali bomb.

    Exactly. And it's not like they haven't made these exceptions in similar situations before, so there's precedent. It helps clarify the picture somewhat. Most people regard Wlad as the champ anyway, so this just makes it official.

    Ghagaev has good chin and knows how to overbox huge guys: Felix Savon, Virchis, Valuev.




    Wlad on points
