    ESB has a front page article saying that Chagaev has a chronic illness, and the site that is confidential about boxing says he has hepatitis B.

    ESB also says on the frontpage that they claim that there was no step aside money in Holy being put in there so fast.

    Who knows.

    Regardless of if Chagaev is really ill, and regardless of if there was no stepaside money in this switcheroo, its still a bit rediculous for Sultan and Warriors Boxing to claim to want complete unification, then immediately take a fight with Holy, forgetting about setting up a fight with another titleholder, instead.

    But if Holy does manage a win over Sultan (likely) I think Holy will be the most likely to take on another titleholder right away. Holy vs. Chagaev or Holy vs. Wlad, either one, seems like a very possible scenario, seeing as how Holy is on a mission, and has limited time to complete it..

    I know it will end in tears. Holyfield will never do it. I wish he'd retire, but come on lets get behind the guy, it's his decision to fight on and we won't change his mind no matter how many time we discuss it. Although I don't want him to be fighting I'll cheer for him, it's his life. Come on Evander.

    If he pulls of the win (improbable) then yeah Holy will be the best bet for unification to begin, he's made his intentions clear, he won't mess around with nobodies he'll want the other champs.

    It's his life. You wouldn't let a bunch of guys on a forum tell you how to live yours.

    No, I never said I thought Holy could get past Wlad, or Vitali, or even Peter or Chagaev, but I do think he's got a good chance at outboxing Sultan.

    And if he were to catch Sultan with a vicious left hook like the one that dropped Big Lou, anything can happen. If Austin can hold his own with Sultan, and even knock him down, I am confident that Holy will do as well, if not a bit better than Austin did.

    Holy don't deserve this shot, even if it is for the mere WBO, and I don't think he'll get any more titles if he wins this one, but I do see him trying to get a second title, right away.

    And that is what we are looking for; titles being brought together.:good

    I am actually pulling for evander. At least if he wins, you know he will fight ANYBODY. That man has never and will never duck anyone. Also, good move for sultan, I'm sure it put a few more dollars on his paycheck fighting holy.

    i think so. i think you need to take a course of medicine and after a certain period it becomes safe again. however it never actually leaves the body.

    but then again i once dabbled in a bit of tae kwon do to get my legs more flexible, and my instructor had some kind of hepitaitis. apparently he was always making sure no one hit him in the mouth because if he bled, and your knuckles were cut then i imagine the diease could spread. not that he gave that as his reason but it seems likely.

    so i guess my post is kinda pointless since i dont know really LOL

    Holyfield is going to get his ass handed to him by Sultan. Hopefully he won't take too many big shots with all those kids under his care.

    If he hasn't chronic hepatitis b the chances to cntinue boxing are very good. It takes about 6-8 weeks (if everything goes well) to heal meaning that the virus is out of his body. Afterwards he can start training again and it should take him about 3 months to get back into his old condition. So we might expect him back in the ring around January/February...
