The strap is worth nothing. Let Haye have it. As long as we all consider Wlad champ there is no point in picking up more of these belts.
Chagaev was the mandatory for Valuev!!! And Valuev refuses to fight Chagaev. The medical situation was the same like in the first fight. Chagaev was well trained and Team Sauerland knows, that Valuev would lost a second time to Chagaev, so they pulls out of the fight in Finnland. Than Wlad fights Chagaev. Wlad should have become Super Champ of the WBA. But it does not matter. Wlad becomes the Ring Magazine Champion and this is the No. 1 of the division.
Chagaev already beat Valueless and far better & more decisively than Haye did. Wladimir TKO'd Chagaev after a one sided beating. The Real WBA Champ is Wladimir in my humble opinion.
but the thread starter wants to know how he can get it "officially"..ur opinion dont make it official man.... The WBA champ is haye..its a shame he is scared of Klitschko cuz i wanna see this fight..Wlad would punk him for his belt n than retire..NOBODY ELSE LEFT TO FIGHT THATS WORTHY ASIDE FROM POVETKIN MAYBE..
With the WBA's policy the last 10 years that just might work, but the method has to be legal... A bribe isn't one of them, but I think beating the crap out of Haye to force him to sign, may be alowed under the circumstances.
No I’m not and the post made perfect sense. You accuse Don King for pulling strings and giving the belt for Valuev. Should in your mind, champion be stripped if he doesn’t fight against best contenders in two years? Chagaev didn’t and that’s why Valuev vs. Ruiz was order to name new WBA Champion. Valuev won the match and became the champion. Chagaev on the other hand, was named champion in recess, who will challenge the title as soon as he is medically cleared. He was booked to fight for the real WBA title against Valuev in Finland, but failed strict Finnish medical test and the match didn’t happen. After that he decided to fight against Wlad for IBF/WBO/IBO title and naturaly lost his position to challenge WBA title in the progress. If he would have waited instead of fighting against Wlad, match against Valuev would have been rescheduled and he would have had change to challenge WBA. But he decided to challenge for the different title, so he lost that opportunity. So Wladimir could became WBA champ, because he beat WBA No.1 contender, not the WBA champion Valuev. It makes perfect sense. So in which point did King give the title to Valuev, as you claimed? How WBA should have handled the situation in your mind? In this part you seem to criticize King for letting Gillermo keep his WBA title, but it doesn’t make much sense because in this post You give the impression that Chagaev should not have been stripped in similar situation. BTW Legit question: Are you by any chance suffering from Dawn syndrome? :think
WBA is a complete joke. It should be ignored. Wladimir can fight anyone. WBA has nothing to offer but senseless rematches to downhill fighters.
To be fair both no.1 contenders match (Chagaev vs. Meehan) and the winner vs. Haye are fresh match ups
Chagaev will beat Meehan, then he will knock Haye out. Then there will be a rematch with Vlad. Haye has broken two contracts the Klitschkos, one written/signed and one implied contract.
Utter bull**** he would of been allowed to fight even in Finland all he Valuev had to do was take a shot ) Valuev refused so the fight could not go on... Why was it staged in finland instead of germany? Because they already knew that in Germany where Valuev always fights Chagaev's results would of been a non issue... It was all planned from the get go to avoid fighting a man who had already beat him... Also Chagaev was the champion when Wladamir beat him not contender as you claim both drummond and Skelton were considered defenses of his title look it up:deal They did not strip him until around August 09' after the fight had happened.. Also he did not go 2 years without a defense he fought once in '08 and twice on '09 so when exactly did these two years take place :rofl Valuev won his title back by refusing to fight Chagaev plain and simple :good.. And you say Chagaev hadn't fought against the best contenders in two years... Funny Because over the same time period Valuev fought who Liakhovich, Ruiz and Holy ... Yeah he sure was fighting the best alrightatsch And if you are either too blind or biased to see that Don King's fighters seem to get magically ranked even after losing fights by the WBA.. then i have some real estate for you in Florida :deal
But Chagaev has always been part of the WBA circle until he got Hep B. Now he has to fight a 40 year old Meehan who didn't fight for almost 2 years for the #1 spot. It's a typical WBA matchup imo.
