    Given that Chagaev supposedly has the Valuev rematch after he fights Dummond here shortly, and he (Chag) says he wants to unify (seeing is believing)........and given that Valuev has apparently just refused a unification fight with one of the K Brothers.....

    Do you see any further unification in the next year.........or two?

    And if so, what who will it be?

    In my opinion, King has, and will continue to, shield Valuev, so him beating Chagaev in the rematch would probably be the worst scenario for any further title unification......

    ( I read that Chagaev's handler, Kohl, apparently has had a feud of sorts with the Klitscko boys some time back, and is supposedly not going to have his man (chag) fight either of them.)

    But not sure how truthful that is, but anyway, Chagaev, just the other day, said he wants to fight both of them and unify the titles.

    The Hayemaker's going to KO these bums!!!!
























    Nah, just joking. I think if Chagaev is back fully fit he beats Valuev (again) and gets the WBA. If Chagaev can stay fit I can see him taking on Wlad later this year but by then Wlad will have to face Povetkin :patsch. Hopefully next year we'll see a unification fight.

    Haye this summer, then Povetkin in the late fall/early winter.........but by then the WBO will come calling with their mandatory opponent for Wlad to face.

    Yeah, these sanctioning bodies always prevent unification and Wlad is the only brother I see Chagaev taking on. Doubt he'll risk facing Vitali.

    Who really cares? Wlad is the Champion, everyone knows that. Some other people have trinkets, thats all. Even if the belts do become unified, they'de be split up straight away anyway via some poilitical bull****.

    Chagaev has said he wanted to fight Klitchko before, but his actions go exactly on the oposite direction.

    If Chagaev regains his belt, I expect Universum to keep him away from the Klitchkos as long as they can. Just look at what they have been doing with Sturm and Erdei for example.

    I think so, too. He talks like he wants to unify, but there'll be some reason to prevent it, when the time comes. I think he's been offered a fight before, and passed.

    Dunno, I've never been this disinterested in the heavyweight division in all the years i've followed boxing. Hopefully Haye will clean up the division. Unforunately I believe this accolade will fall to Dr. Vitali K.
