    I'd pick Fury, Wilder to beat Chagaev on size. Pulev on skill and youth. Stiverne, Takam + Glazkov a toss up. Jennings and Cunningham lose.

    I'd pick Fury, Pulev and Wilder over him to. But as we saw before, in shape Chaggy may surprise anyone except Wlad and Sasha.

    Might beat stiverne. Both hit hard both have decent chins. Stiverne is probably the lazier fighter.

    Chagaev knocks Wilder spark out... Fat Chagaev is still far better than windmill, you know the guy who gets buzzed and drops rounds to Eric ****ing Molina.... :lol:

    I would favor him over Cunningham, Stiverne and Glazkhov (who would win the decision regardless). The rest I think are a cut above but would still make for good matchups

    :deal

    At this point at age 37, Ruslan probably beats all besides Povetkin and king Wladimir of the Ukraine, but if he fights the rest at 40 or 39 years of age, the size and youth of the younger fighters such as Wilder etc will probably put him at a disadvantage.

    No he wouldn't. Chagaev would be out worked by takam. Outboxed by fury and wilder from the outside. Outsped and decisioned by cunningham, pulev would jab his face to a bloody pulp.

    So now let's overrate Chagaev because he scored a quick KO... and ignore the fact he looked like **** against an ancient out of shape Oquendo.

    Chageav is good not great, now he's old and slower. It's HW, so yeah anything can happen with one punch.. but just like Povetkin.. let's wait and see if they really found a new lease on life, or if it's just the kind of **** that happens in boxing.

    Well Povetkin has beat 3 decent opponents in a row. Pianeta isn't very good.

    Chagaev reminds me of Botha in the 90s. Not elite level but always good for a nice punch.
