    This is why the heavyweight division is so terrible. There is no reason why Valuev or Chagaev or Ruiz should be champions. Something is wrong when this happens.

    Personally, I'd rather watch Chris Arreola and Sam Peter fight 15 rounds for a biscuit. The only "Nightmarish" thing about them is their physical shape.

    The WBA has totally ruined their heavyweight belt contention. Would be nice to see someone along the lines or Povyetkin take that belt and actually do something with it.

    Quite frankly I don't think the judges will get it wrong. A guy who can beat the great Felix Savon twice should be able to convince everybody, including the judges.

    Finland? Why Finland?

    Don't get me wrong, it's good to see big fights outside USA/Canada/Germany/Britain etc....

    But why Finland?

    Yeah, but as yet nobody has included Valuev on that list. If Chagaev comes to fight all 12 rounds there is little doubt that he will win. The only doubt that is whether he is still hungry enough to fight. We know know how Valuev is most likely to perform, Chagaev is a big question. I am not at all concerned about the judges.

    Well that is a big ''if''.Chagaev to me is clearly past it because of the big layoffs,serious injuries,he hasn't looked anything good in his last 2.
    I think he SHOULD win but the judges and his recent form tell me something else.
