    I give him a shot. If i was forced to put money on it i would pick Chagev but if he trys to look like Muhamed Ali agaisnt Skelton he could come up short. If he trys to knock him out it won't happen and Skelton would be dangerous in the champonship rounds if Chagevs has tried to blow him out early.

    I just have a snaky feeling Chagevs people have seriously under estimated Skelton, and perhaps Chagev has to, they picked him as the lowest ranked contedner!

    Skelton should retire if he looses this fight though. Maybe even if he wins.

    As a two time world amateur champion I rfancy chagaev to do a number on the highly inactive Skelton fairly handily. Matt can possibly make the fight ugly enough to get a win, but I cant see it myself.

    Incidentally

    "Skelton should retire if he looses this fight though. Maybe even if he wins." -
    Dont be daft, he could secure his retirment fund from fighting with the WBA title.

    totally agree....the human mudslide has **** all chance in this one. He's gonna get stopped or more likely DQ'd for excessive and persistent fouling.

    As many defences as he can get, Warren could make a fortune marketing Valuev Skelton in the UK, a bloody fortune.

    Chagaev wins though.

    Not much chance. He'd need to get Chagaev fighting the wrong, stupid fight.

    I'll still be rooting for Morph though.

    Reckon he would use a shot a Skelton as a way of getting a deal with Haye?

    I do actually give Skelton a chance. He may be horrible to watch, but he is strong and has a knack of dragging people down to his level and wearing them down.
    I reckon he'll lose though.
