    The WBA has ordered negotiations to begin.

    What's your prediction?

    Based on how they've performed recently, I would have to pick Ortiz.... But hopefully this brings the best out in Chagaev, and we see him come in motivated, and in shape.

    If he's in as poor shape as he was against Oquendo, he has no chance of beating Ortiz.

    The winner will be Wladimir Klitschko's WBA mandatory. Ortiz vs. Klitschko would be an interesting fight.

    This could be another history making event in Grozny in the great nation of Chechnya. The new mecca of boxing. Will be amazing to see living legends like Holyfield, Valuev and Haye ringside again.

    I think so too, and it would actually be bad for the division if he turned back the clock. Chagaev was my favourite HW for a lot of years, but time to move over.

    Chagaev by Chechynia SD. Sets us up for a Chagaev - Povetkin rematch.

    I think Ortiz will win easily, and then he'll be a worthy challenger for Klitschko.

    If they watch the food and the water bottles and have a hotel that gives them good sleep
    then Ortiz gonna win easily.

    "Remember you are alone a long way from home"
    like they said in the 10CC song

    When Kessler travelled to Cardiff to fight Calzaghe they believed it was a secret that Keesler had a hand injury. But you know with bugging and microphones......

    I'm going with the majority. Chagaev is done. Ortiz would win this.

    Valuev should get the role as a big bandit in a James Bond movie now that "jaw" is passed away

    At this point in his career, Chagaev will lose a decision or gets KO'd. I voted for Ortiz by decision.
