Where does the Chagaev/Ibragimov match leave Wlad Klitschko ?

yes and you certainly have alot of credibility, you're the guy claiming klitschko beats all the all time greats.

 

It's fine to dislike Klitschko but it is important to note that Chagaev and Ibragimov are voluntarily unifying. That means they both agreed to fight each other. Is it Klitschko's fault that NO ONE who already has a belt is willing to fight him for fear of losing their belt?

 

Exactly.

 

I never claimed that at all, you are delushional :nut

 

This leaves Chagayev/Ibragimov vs Wald open.

Wlad will not fight Peter/Oleg because the next in the line
is Vitaly and probably the next after that is McCall.
If Vitaly win the Wlad vs Vitaly is off by definition, if not then the
WBC title will be clear not earlier than next summer.

So after Wlad supposedly beat Brewster he may face winner of C/I.

 

Its called, "hey that guy is really good, and looks better everytime he steps back in the ring"...

Prolly the reason they didnt fight him, cause theyre pussies.

 

Wlad needs to take this opportunity and rematch Corrie "I hurt my left hand" Sanders!!

 

Anyways, to answer the question the thread posed.

In an ideal world, this places the winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev in the #1 or #2 ranking, with Klitschko clearly holding the other spot. Ideally, it will be the #2 spot, as a Peter/Maskaev-Chagaev/Ibragimov bout would crown the ring champion if they are placed #1 and that is an unacceptably inaccurate ranking. Following the fight, I would expect Wlad to drop his strap and challenge the winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev, dropping the strap because the sanctioning bodies will probably do all in their power to prevent the fight from happening.

If the fight takes place in Europe, with the new legitimacy of the Chagaev/Ibragimov winner, it could garner lots and lots of money, something that Chagaev or Ibragimov would be hard to overlook. Clearly, the winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev will be no lower than #3 in the ring rankings, and as such, a fight with Klitschko will crown a new ring champ.

I know I am just speculating and hoping, but this could be exactly what the HW division needs to finally get a champion. That is the most ideal situation.

 

This sounds about right. I think if Sultan pulls it off (its doubtful that he can beat Chag, but we'll see), then he would be the most likely to unfiy with Wlad.

Wlad beats the hell out of either one of them, though. I think we can all agree on that point.

 

IMO, the winner will be #1 contender to Klitschko's crown.

 

Exactly.

Its the LACK of King in this, that is finally getting it done. King taken out of the equasion finally means we are getting unfication.

At long last.......:good

f***k Don King and his bull****. :good

 

exactly, It's amazing as soon as he loses his grip on the belts there getting unified, it's as simple as that.

 

I bet King is lying awake at night, now, wondering about all that money he is NOT making, and how he can regain his dictator-like control of the heavyweight division.

Let him cook in his own jealousy and anger!!!

I LOVE it!

 

Exactly!

 

I'm a little dissapointed that Wlad isn't apart of the unification, but I have to admit.. a fight between Chagaev and Ibragimov sounds awfully interesting. Neither fighter really has a significant advantage over the other.. it should make for a pretty competitive fight.
