    Ruslan is the "Champion in Remission."....and there is still a WBA Superchampion Belt out there for the winner of Frankenstein Vs. Andre the Giant.

    So Ruslan vs. Valuez should happen next year, presumably, when Ruslan's labia heals up.

    I just wish there was some sort of footage of Norman "Stoney" Stone having a calf, as the decision went to Andre the Giant, and his ranting and raving at the post fight press conference. This idiot belongs in the WWE, big time, wearing a turban, and a cape.

    Norman "the Sultan" Stone. Good gimmick.

    Valuev vs. Chagaev II is another snoozefest that I guess there is no getting away from.

    Others may be looking forward to it, but personally, I have zero interest in seeing them fight a rematch.

    Chagaev has backed out of so many fights, it is hard to keep count. I have about had enough of him.

    Where was he when Vladimir offered to fight him? Where was he after Sultan already signed the contract fight him?

    Well, the Heavyweight Division is still in a drought. It will remain so until another "Tysonesque" heavyweight comes along. But Valuev and Chagaev is a very European fight. What we really need, is someone that can knock both Klitschko's off of their ****ing high horses.

    Valuev Chagaev II sounds about as appealing as watching paint dry.

    But, I guess they'll have to get it going and get it over with, as from what I understand, it seems to be imminent.

    There is the "Big Three" the WBC, the WBA and the IBF. Then there are the two alternates, the WBO and the IBO. Then the minor titles. The IBA, WBU and IBC, as well as the NBA and WBF. Then you can break all of these down. The WBA for example, has the Heavyweight Championship, split in 2 for now. Or 3. Andre the Giant is the NEW WBA Regular and Interim Champion, while Ruslan Chagaev is the WBA "Champion in Remission".....Then there is the North American Version of that belt, the NABA.

    Then there is the all important RING Championship.

    In the WBC, you have the WBC Regular Championship, then the WBC International Title, the WBC Intercontinental Title, and the WBC Continental Americas Title. And the NABF, which they also own. Right now, there are 46 men claiming to be the best Heavyweight in Boxing.

    Haye is a sort of 'Tysonesque'. I'm not saying he's going to achieve anything close to what Iron Mike did.

    And I know he's nowhere near as good, but he's an exciting and pretty explosive fighter, similar sort of build in that they have muscular frames, and that they both like to fight and rely on their power and speed.
