    I agree with that regarding Haye beating Valuev after Wlad had beaten Chagaev but this is slightly different at least for the more casual fan who won't understand how Povetkin/Chagaev is the WBA champ when Wlad is the WBA champ.

    No, just like Brandon Rios isn't really the WBA Champion, and the winner of Maidana/Guerrero isn't going to be the WBA Champion. There's probably some more as well

    Wlad,Khan or Judah and JMM are the real WBA champions.

    They'll be as much as a champ as haye or vitali is.

    All that really matter is everyone plays second fiddle to wlad

    Of course not - paper belt with no extra -value. Anyways Chagaev vs Povetkin is a good fight. Winner should face Wlad.
