My theory is that it was Don King's bull****. He clearly didnt want Valuev to rematch Chagaev so he staged the fight in Finland where the doctors banned chagaev to fight.
And PLEASE make it happen. HW division needs fights like this. Helenius-Chisora, Helenius-Lyakhovich, Haye-Chisora, and this fight are all good fights between contenders. Same goes for Adamek-Chambers, Dimitrenko-Pulev
Chauncy has come to accept that Chagaev is getting the Mitchell fight he was promised... (from facebook)
You are ****ing crazy, the mitchell hype is getting to your head. If Chagaev comes in 80% shape he will outbox easily mitchell
In boxing there are only signed contracts, promises mean nothing. It's a business and Welliver and his garage band of a team can't hang with the big players.
No way does Mitchell's handlers put him in with Chagaev at this stage he would be a big underdog here. If he wants a name who he can beat then he should go after the fat version of Sam Peter who style wise is a much easier fight than Chagaev who despite being fat himself has actually looked impressive during his last two bouts.
Fat Dan Rafael is jealous of Chauncy. He sees how much weight Chauncy has lost and it makes him realize what a lazy tub of lard he is. But let Chagaev kick his arse. Chauncy will sign his deal in China instead and go capture the WBO International Title. We will see who is still ranked Top 10 after July. Welliver will be in Hong Kong on Sunday for the start of his press tour. PandaMania is back in action! If Mitchell somehow remains unbeaten down the road, maybe they will grow a set and face Chauncy late this year or early next year. Until then....Welliver is going to stay active and keep on winning titles.
I would absolutely love to see a Mitchell-Peter slugfest. :good Even if Sam is Shot, he's still a tough cookie.
Haye would crush this Mitchell hype train quite easily. He should go after him once he destroys Chisora to give something back to his American fans.
