chageav will put the pressure on wlad and he has a chance i think. Bottom line hes slick southpaw with very good tactis and movement. Dont write him off just yet
Good enough to beat giant fat ass Valuev? Good enough to be undefeated? Good enough to replace David Haye? Need more??
I don't know if Chagaev is going to win, but I think he presents as much of a challenge as Haye, if not more so considering the late notice. Wlad was training for an orthordox bomber and is now going to fight a southpaw, with a little bit of defense. In all reality, Chagaev is the next toughest challenge for Wlad after Haye. And even that is a tossup. I wouldn't be surprised if Chagaev wins, and if he doesn't win, still make it more of a competitive fight than we've seen Wlad in a long time.
Man, don't get so hung up on his nickname. He was nicknamed that by people in the gym when he was coming up because he's got a short stocky build like Tyson. Regardless of what you make of his chances, now that Haye has pulled out there is nobody else that springs to mind as a bigger threat/better fight.
