Actually, a lot of people around the glove do!! Besides their first encounter wasnt that bad.It was more fun to watch than most of Chagaev's as well as Valuev's outings to a ring before.
Valuev Chagaev, then the winner faces Ruiz, yet again. That's what I recall reading sometime back, anyway. Ruiz already has his shot approved by the WBA. Wow, how exciting can the WBA possibly get? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. THUD!
The WBA strap is quickly becoming a joke. Hopefully, one of these guys will take the belt and start defending it against worthy challengers. Unfortunately, my prediction is that Chagaev wins, only to make his first defense in a rematch with Valuev. Then we may even see John Ruiz in the mix again. If the WBA doesn't take itself seriously, then the fans and media should immediately stop recognizing it as a major title.
I think Evander deserves to fight the winner of this. Evander should already be the champion defending his title against James Toney, or MIke Tyson. That would have then created a frenzy in the boxing world.
and how do you see it? a boycott? ha! WBA would easily point on WBC with Vitaly's emeritus story. though if many of the the old non-active champions would join ... damn, it looks like Holy and Ruiz will stay here forever...
