After that fight I don't think much of Chagaev. He is too slow has limited movement and is predictable. What a poor HW champion he is. I think LL could train for a few weeks and beat him convincingly.
Exactly, Chagaev being the champion just highlights how poor this era of heavyweights is, and the fact there are too many belts and too much ducking of the only deserving champion Wlad Klitschko by the other belt holders. I dont even think Lewis would need to train, to be able to make a come back and take out Chagaev, the man is nothing. Prime Bruno would have knocked him out.
frank maloney pretty much said what boxing fans already knew. i wouldn't call it "bile". i'd have been more insulted if he talked up skeltons chances and complemented his "skills"
What made me laugh was that Setenta's Rawlings had the fight level with 2 rounds to go even with the piont reduction.
So if it was not for the point reduction Rawling would have had Skelton ahead going into the last round :yep
Rawlings is best suited to radio where you have to take his word for it. He was pretty much telling us that despite what it looked like, it was in fact a good fight.
Chagaev might not be all that world-class, but it was a victory for boxing that he beat Matt. ****ing hell if Skelton won, the public would be shown a fighter with completely no boxing skills whatsoever. Chagaev can box, Skelton can hug. Remember its pretty ****ing hard to look good against someone like Matt. & by **** does Skelton look like he stinks, one of them fighters youre up close with and he reeks of b.o & ****.
