Chagaev's promoter already discussing second unifying fight with Sultan Wlad winner?

11player · Nov 10, 2007

It's about time Chagaev fights somebody, he's keeping the belt hostage for some time now. I hope we see him at the ring in january, even if it's just for a boring bout against Moorer/Bidenko.

An unification bout between Chag and the winner of Klitschko/Ibragimov, should take place only after Thompson gets his shot, cause he's waiting for a while already. I think the winner of Povetkin/Chambers will get a shot in six months time, after their fight, according to the rules.

At present I can only see two heavies out there who have a decent chance to beat Wlad:Alexander Povetkin,and Vladimir Virchis.
Povetkin is the complete package,and Virchis can end a fight any time due to his murderous firepower.

the winner of Wlad/Sultan will have two mandatories to deal with. Tony Thompson and Povetkin/Chambers. I suppose they can offer step aside money but i know Thompson wants his shot now. Chagaev will also have his mandatory due against Lyakhovich/Valuev.

Wladimir would likely beat Thompson as easily as he beat Austin.

Sultan has no chance of beating Wlad imo

Ruslan does...that is the fight at heavy imo

RUSKULL · Nov 10, 2007

Wladimir shouldn't be looking past Sultan though, Iggy has made a living off of defying the odds vs. much bigger guys.

ChrisPontius · Nov 10, 2007

That would be great!

I'm not a pessimist but i will try to hold my joy untill this fight it officially scheduled. Boxing politics are a pain in the ass.

I,too,think that Chagaev stands a better chance against Wlad than the feather fisted runner Sultan who drawed with Austin,and had to go the full route with Osokin.
Furthermore Chagaev has a puncher's chance.

Povetkin is the complete package,and Virchis can end a fight any time due to his murderous firepower.
Odlanier Solis is a great and very promising heavy,too.However,he still needs a couple of fights and more experience at the pros to take on the present nr.1 at heavy weight.

I dont know enough about Virchis to put him in my list of guys that have a decent chance of beating Wlad, My list goes as follows 1. Valuev 40%, 2. Peter 35%, 3. Chagaev 35%, 4. Povetkin 30%, 5. Tua 25%, 6. Maskaev 20%, 7. Corrie Sanders 20%, 8. Virchis 15%, 9. Iggy 10%, 10. Thompson 10%.

I've never seen so many fighters broken down to percentages like that. Nice work. :good

I'd say that's pretty close to what I'd say, too, but I'd take about 10% off of Valuev, and I would give The Ig-bomb a bit better than a mere 10% chance. He's got at least 12% chance.

And that bum, Thompson, would have about 2% chance, at best.

I try to study fighters styles and how they would stack up against certain fighters, I however only seen a little bit of fighters like Thompson and Virchis so I could honestly be a little off on my percentages of them.

Valuev is my new number 1, he took Peters spot after the Mccline fight IMO. I think he has the size to give Wlad trouble in the ring, and the chin to stay in the fight the whole night. Theres a chance that Valuevs good stamina will give him the ability to land effective shots late in the fight, when Wlad might me be gassed and tired. I think Wlad would win by UD, but theres always that chance a big guy like Valuev can give him some problems.:good

Heavyrighthand · Nov 10, 2007

Valuev has never been hit as hard as Wlad would hit him, and he'd do it repeatedly. That would be a good and very exiting fight to see, yes. I bet they'll almost have to get around to facing each other at some point, if Valuev stays high in the ranking, and beats Liakhovitch, which I think he will.

I have not seen but a little of Virchis, either, but what little I did see was pretty impressive. Virchis is well known for his power, and I also thiink he is not as slow as he's made out to be by some. His boxing is pretty decent, too, I would say.

New article on this fight, and possible other unification fights.

Wladimir Klitschko Seeks All The Heavyweight Titles:
“I am the best, and I want the titles”
[www.boxingnews24.com]

According to the latest boxing news from AP, International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (49-3, 44 KOs) wants to own all of the heavyweight titles in the near future, not just two of them, which he’ll likely be getting not far from now when he takes on World Boxing Organization title holder Sultan Ibragimov. Klitschko, 31, reportedly wants to own all of the titles, like Lennox Lewis, before him did. Indeed, Wladmir may get his chance, because if he can get by Ibragimov, there’s talk of him immediately taking on World Boxing Association champion Ruslan Chagaev, another Eastern European fighter, who would possibly entertain the idea of fighting Klitschko because of the huge payday that he can make out of the bout.

Even if Chagaev or Ibragimov were to lose, they’ll still make a lot of money out of the fight, much more than they would if they were to fight a string off dangerous, lesser opponents than Wladimir. In terms of risk, it seems like a smart move for either of them, in particular, due the fact that they’ll still be young enough to possibly win back a heavyweight title at a later stage in their career.

As for Samuel Peter, who takes on World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev in early 2008, he’s already gone on record saying that he wants a rematch with Wladimir, who beat him by 12-round unanimous decision in 2005.
