    When this fraud of a fighter Valuev is mentioned I am interested in ONLY one thing, hoping to see him get KTFO out cold and retire, NOTHING else. The most boring and pathetic fighter in the history of boxing, about time some people start making a big fuss about all the robberies and gift decisions he's getting. He's hardly bringing ANY drama or excitement to the division to get away with all the robberies he got.

    If I have a concern against Chagaev, it's the amount of injuries and time out of the ring he's had since the first Valuev fight. I must admit that he didn't exactly look sterling last time out.

    Valuev is a betting favorite in Europe.

    I'm going by Chagaev by decision, but his performances since the achilles injuries have not been that impressive. Neither was Valuev against Holyfield, but i thought he did pretty well in the rematch with Ruiz. Consistent, snappy jab. He can look anything from horrible to fairly good come fight night. But he is so slow on his feet that consistent foot movement can neutralize him rather easily, as Holyfield showed.

    No interest but chagaev should win. He did well vs the giant a few years ago and even if he has eroded a little he should be able add in some of holyfield's strategy with his own to out point valuev (who should be a bit eroded too from the first fight given his age).

    I'm going out on a limb, and I know it's the worst possible outcome...but I'm gonna predict a draw.

    Well that's part of the reason I was so disgusted with the effort against Holyfield. He'd looked very sharp against Liakhovich, fairly sharp against Ruiz II, then just so utterly clueless against Holyfield. It was like he didn't want to really hit him at times.

    Valuev of the Liakhovich fight turns up, Chagaev could be in trouble. But I just don't know if that'll happen.

    So would photoshopping Valuev in the background :D

    I've got Chag by decision, although it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Valuev pull out a decent fight.

    He's had a lot of problems and hasn't been too impressive even when he HAS been in the ring lately, but I think Chagaev is still to slick and smart for the giant. Another 12 decision victory for Chagaev.
