    Chagaev pussied out of the Sultan fight, in order to fight some bums in germany. You wont ever see him fight anywhere else...

    Holyfield will not fight Thompson, even Thompson knows that he said in an article he expected Holyfield would not fight him if he won. Holyfield has the money and the political pull. He will unify if and again that is if he beats Sultan. i am rooting for the old guy though myself.

    Chagaev has been cleared to fight at this point.

    He'll almost certainly have to fight Thompson. He won't have time to fight anyone else. I'm not sure that I wouldn't pick Thompson to win that fight. Would be a pick-em matchup in my mind.
