Hey Punisher, long time to talk. I voted for worse. I'm one of the few who thinks this is a tough fight for Wlad (from what I can see), but his lack of fights over the last couple years scares me. Wlad, for the faults he has, at least tries to fight 2-3 times a year, and I think he'd prefer 3. Ruslan doesn't seem to be able to do that right now.
I personally can go either way on this one, and see both sides of the arguement. I just want to see a change, Wlad's 3 year reign as champ has been anything but exciting. And I really dont see the popularity of the Heavyweight division growing either, so why not see what someone else can do?
I like the idea of Chagaev vs Haye, Povetkin, Arreola, Chambers, etc... But for one reason or another, the guy is just way too inactive... He would be death to the HW division!
:good:good:good great post although i think wlad jabs at ruslan tracking him down for 5 or 6 rounds then unloads and sends chaggy to lala land
