This fight looks likely to be next. I actually think tis one is a decent fight, Chagaev is ranked 5th by the ring, so they cant cry about the fight happening, the guy is also fairly young, and only lost once. should be a good action fight, i reckon simmilar to Ruiz, but Haye will be a bit sharper.
Would've been a lot closer 18 months ago - Haye within 9 for me. Chagaev was awful v Wlad; not that many look good
Its a **** fight, Chagaev is a ****ing "No Mark" he brings no excitement. The build up will be ****, because Chagaev is boring, and he can't even speak English. He has no character or personality...... No matter what people say about Harrison vs Haye, it brought the "Nation" to a stand still, this ****ing whole forum to a stand still, brought the biggest topic of the year..."Nation living in fear".......it brought many great memories. And people where inspired by Audley Harrison's optimism and enthusiasm leading up to the fight, people where shocked by David Haye's insults and aggressiveness, it was a massive event. Haye vs Chagaev........is a ****ing **** fight and event. I would rather see David Haye face David Tua.
Depends, Haye will probably turn into motormouth mode and hype it up. Bunce will do his bit too, saying Chagaev is the next coming of Mike Tyson
You can only go to the well so many times my friend. Valuev, Ruiz, Harrison, all pretty boring with the last one being farcical. A lot of fans will have been put off by that. The only seller left is a fight with one of the Kltischkos.
Mate, Tua has a very tough fight against Demitrice King (15-19) if he can get past that, maybe he can fights someone in the top 200 in the world, and maybe work his way toward a title shot
They'll try use the white Tyson gimmick even tho he hasnt stopped an opponent since Sprott!!! I used to rate Chagaev but he's seriously awful these days. That fight with Walker was pathetic.
You make an interesting point there during his career he has been a very exciting fighter but his heavyweight career, not so much. Its funny that the public have bought into Haye after his exciting performances possibly despite them? How important is the all action style in becoming big
People in the uk are pretty easy to manipulate though. Get the sun to write a bs article saying you are the best fighter since ali, and you'll have half of britain supporting you
Chagaev will be advertised as a world class opponent and Wlads best win as he won the ring belt in that fight and Haye will promise to beat him in better fashion. Chageav is ill and blind on the left eye but still a decent test for Haye. In the fight with Walker Chagaev was in horrible shape. He had no strength or power and Walker pushed him around and nearly beat him. I hope hes actually going to train a bit for that fight with Haye then it should be a good one
Chagaev's got zero name value or marketability whatsoever, but that doesn't mean he isn't Haye's toughest opponent as a heavyweight. He is. If Chagaev turns up, it's a serious fight.
