Chagaev wouldn't be in the top ten of Lewis' all time wins list. He's #1 on Wlad's

    Bruno, Mercer, McCall, Golota, Grant and Tua are better than Chagaev? Tua never held a belt, Bruno never kept a belt, Mercer was a joke, McCall was capable but mentally ****ed, Golota was never a great fighter and Grant? You ****ing kidding me.

    The other thing the poster forgets - this is Chagaev's first ever loss and the only time he's ever looked thoroughly outclassed in the ring, despite a very impressive amateur background.

    What Chagaev does from here will define how this win will be viewed - the same as will be for many other young, undefeated fighters that earnt their first loss against Klitschkol.

    Uncle is just upset Wlad is 1-0 vs Rhaman, and Lewis is 1-1 vs Rahman.

    I don't really like comparing Lewis to Wlad because they're in different eras fighting different fighters, but I will say this, Lewis has often be accused of not being aggressive enough, sometimes with justification, but he's a hell of a lot more aggressive than Wlad is. I would like to see Wlad destroy a couple of fighters the way Lewis destroyed Golota or Ruddock, or Grant. It would enhance his legacy enormously.

    :roll: Yeah, sure dude.

    And since I wasted my time responding to you, here's a question: Why do you seem to trash every guy who's been so much as even KD'd once for their chins except for Wlad? :huh

    Chageav isn't bad but it was probably a mistake for him to have taken this fight.

    Actually, Lewis had many guys on his record that are no better than Chagaev, yet people think they're great wins. Razor Ruddock?? Who'd he ever beat? Frank Bruno?? Oliver McCall?? Not to mention the Gary Masons, ****** Fortunes and Lionel Butlers of the world!!

    People look back on this era like it was loaded with great figthter, but when you got past Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson and Bowe and maybe Mercer, Morrison and Moorer, it was as ordinary as most eras in HW boxing.

    you just proved my point. Your list contained 7 names, one of which was Lewis. Lewis beat 5 of the others, beat one of remaining two scared stiff in amateurs and all you have left is Moorer.

    Let's not forget, Chagaev has not been in a real fight since the spring of 07. He looks like he is running on E.

    Chagaev beat Savon. Chagaev is good fighter, Vlad just that good. Vlad is beating all your heroes, so is Vitali. Grant? LOL!

    Chagaev won that fight.

    Have you watched all of Lewis' fights?

    Vlad keeps beating all your heroes, so you have to dream up fights in your mind for him to lose. LOL! Ignorance is bliss, at least to some.

    You guys touting Chagaev are nuts. Chagaev's best win is valuev which is a good win but not all that great given that a 38 year old larry donald should also have that win too (not to mention 45 yr old holyfield). Chagaev is a contender in the current weak era at best and he's been inactive. I didn't see tonights fight so maybe he looked great? But come on a win over valuev and a sd win over ruiz and he's "arguably" better than ruddock and mercer and tua?????? chagaev is probably arguably as good as a younger botha but please some perspective.....
