Im looking at it a bit, and its really weird. why did he and valuev never met up in the ring? After that chagaev beat valuev and then wlad beats chagaev but doesnt get his belt, how the hell does chagaev even have a belt that isnt on the line if there has been a titlefight between valuev and ruiz a year earlier? and why didnt they fight wlad after that. It is really corrupt that that belt isnt in wlads hands.
sometimes the WBA have 2 titles Plus the fight was cancelled cause of Mr aids man, he lost by default stop whining, Haye is heavyweight champion of the world :good
in my opinion the wba is a corrupt organisation anyway and everyone knows wlad is the real champion, i dont dislike haye or something do thinks he lacks balls but that belt should really have been with wlad.
It was the corruption within the WBA and King's influence wich stripped the champion (Chagaev) of the belt just before the unification. If the WBA wouldn't have done it, they would have lost a big portion of their ccontrol over the belt and couldn't make bogus titlefights anymore. Well they probably would have made Wlad "super champ" and gone on with their shady business as usual.
how the hell does wlad have any belt? the ibf should have been lewis's and the wbo should by rights have been vitali's.
He didn't want to fight someone a lot bigger because his normal game plan won't work. And SNV's team was not interested in fighting someone good. So neither party really really wanted that fight to happen. Chagaev gets sick and can not defend the title. Valuev becomes the WBA title holder. Chagaev is "champ in recess". Chagev returns and fails to fight Valuev because he has illness and was not cleared to fight. Valuev still WBA champ. Wlad did not beat WBA title holder, he beat the guy who was stripped of the belt due to failure to defend it. If you think Chagaev was still worthy of being WBA champ, because he never lost it in the ring then by that logic, Lennox Lewis is still the WBA champ. Not really.
No Lewis shamefully thrashed the wba and IBF titles , just like bowe did to him He would never fight a southpaw..... he ran from chris chambers:good
well the problem people have is that the real champ "chagaev" never lost in the ring to the current champ "haye". the same with wlad. when he lost his belt to sanders he never won it back off him did he? he never fought the man who beat sanders did he? wlad beat byrd who was not the true champion for the ibf belt. this **** happens all the time in boxing, but for some reason haye is getting stick for it. i dunno, i guess haters will always hate eh?
atsch:rofl you ****ing muppets have NO SHAME. Sanders did Vacare that Belt. Chagaev did not Vacate WBA belt it was took away from him because Don King Plans. King planned WBA title Fight Between Real WBA Champion Chagaev and The Challenger Valuev to Finland when he already knew Fight can NOT been made because Finnish Pro Boxing Rules. punk. Anyway Wlad should have Rematch Sanders and that will always damage his legacy. I personally Think it would have been really hard Fight for Wlad to win. Win rematch or getting knocked out again the rematch should have happened...
it is Chris byrd. Black Guys, the all look same?!:hey:rofl Anyway Byrd would not have Power to Crack Lennox Chin and Byrd Was no name at that time. Meaningless Fight.
