    Ruslan will be a lot tougher fight than Sultan because Ruslan is more agressive...While i do give Wlad the advantage i think Ruslan will make a good showing and will go out swinging

    Damn well hope not, Wlad-Sultan was a dreadful 'fight'.

    I think Chagaev will probably try to go for it a bit more. Because really, standing on the outside is a cast-iron loss for him.

    But it won't make much difference. I'll be very shocking indeed if Chagaev pulls off the upset here, I don't expect much trouble for Wlad at all. No offense to the Chagave fans. But there's a lot of ring rust, health questions and just the fact that Chagaev is not big and/or a heavy puncher to do what I think needs to be done.

    Still glad this fight is happening though. Helps to clear things up a little more.
    Shame Chagaev won't be able to whisk the WBA belt out from Valuev & King though.

    Ibragimov was never that good, he was just hyped by a few as the next big thing.. remember when it was him and his "brother" Timor.. and then Timor lost and was exposed he wasn't Sultan's brother anymore..

    ..and we were being sold Sultan as a Mike Tyson-esque aggressive power puncher?

    Remember all that?

    Who stunk up the Wlad fight again? Mr. Passive but not Aggressive Iggy.
