Vitali's resume isn't great but it's not bad either, he fought good contenders on the way up and through out his career, probably about a 7 or so.
Dawson doesn't carry enough power to fight at HW, he may do well against fringe contenders, but he'll struggle against good punchers.
Chagaev has got plenty of KO's on his record against decent opponents and mid level journeyman/fringe contenders, he definitely has some power.

I hope Wladimir fights Chagaev, we'll have a new Ring Magazine HW champion out of it.
I'm on, Shane is going to beat Pacquiao by UD most likely, but don't rule out a KO, this is going to be a huge fight that puts Mosley at p4p...
No, Wladimir will be fine, if wladimir gets to fight Chagaev it'll be an even better fight than the Haye fight, because Chagaev is WBA champ and...

Wladimir should go for Chagaev and unify and become the Ring Magazine champion.
