Thread: Valuev vs. Chagaev thoughts and predictions

New to the forum and this is my first post. I'm gonna start out with a prediction here and say that Chagaev is going to upset Valuev. I know Chagaev is short and squat, even particularly so for a heavyweight... but I just think that he's got a little something extra. He will find a way to get inside and outwork Valuev, maybe even stop him late. Someone tell me why I am wrong...

Chagaev is the best heavyweight around and will batter Valuev's ribs en route to a landslide decision.

Unfortunately his promotors will keep him "Sven Ottke'd" and we'll never see his full potential.

Yes, I think you are exactly right. Chagaev will work him to the body and break him down. Chagaev has a short reach, but he is strong and determined enough to get inside. He is a bull in there. He did have a very close fight with the big Vladimir Virchis, who may be every bit as good as Valuev. I know styles make fights, but Chagaev certainly beat John Ruiz easier than Valuev did. This will be the test for Valuev. If he beats Chagaev he is legit., and has a great chance to beat Maricano's record... But I think not. Chagaev KO11

Any believers in Valuev out there?

There is no best in the heavyweight division he's just simply not the worst and i'm hoping somebody beats valuev because him getting marcianos record would be the biggest debacle in american sports history second only to the patriot "dynasty"
