I just think Chagaev is going to blast Sultan Ibragimov out of the water. I think he can take a shot better, he can give a shot just as good and if he (well either one really) wins handily a matchup vs Wladimir Klitschko would be HUGE.

They both suck, but Sultan sucks more.
I wouldnt say they suck. Sultan seems pretty seasoned and Ruslan is defo tough and knows what to do to win a fight.
I agree that Ruslan is probably the man of the two. He's fought bigger and better guys more often.
I saw then both fight at the Sydney olympics. Ruslan looked ordinary and didn't win a medal. Sultan got silver (lost to Felix Savo).
I think Ruslan has come on more and I tip him to win a decision 116-112.
I feel I owe Chagaev my support look at his last four fights
he's beat Valuev, Ruiz, Sprott and Virchis
I cannot thank him enough for eliminating Ruiz's chance of getting another title shot or for ending
Valuev's reign........
;DQuote:

I think Chagaev will win a comfortable decision but I don't see any fireworks in this one. It's going to a tedius 12 round affair with little action and the farmer looking slow and inept.
Chagaev to win but they still both pretty much suck balls imo.
I'll be gutted if Sultan wins. It'll destroy my faith in boxing. I feel Chagaev unifying will mean a decent fight for Wlad. Chagaev is decent and can really box. Sultan is just horrible to watch and I don't see him lasting against Wlad.
what is all this anti-sultan shit?
you will all be humbled, when sultan KTFO chagaev
and the fight will be fantastic, and the rebirth of the HW division
I am not sure if I am hating but I just can't forget Ray Austin coming back and damn near KOing Sultan....I think Chagaev can fight a full 12 with anybody who's not a Klitschko.Quote:

I'm assuming sal is the only vote for Sultan. ;D I'm picking Chagaev, he's fought the "better" opposition and did more favors for the sport.
I think Sultan Ibragimov will win by points.
That was the olympics, but overall Ruslan was by far the better amatuer, and didn't he defeat Savon for a world championship?Quote:

Chagaev all the way
....I don't think it's a matter of FEAR, I think it's a matter of their managers actually being able to come to an agreementQuote:

But the real winner here is the sport. To get a unified match at HW is what this sport needed. Even King called for it (although I'm fairly certain he just told ppl what they wanted to here) and now all we can hope is the winner get Wlad!!!
The fight will be a snooze fest tho!
isn't the draw on Ibragimov's record against Tim Austin, the guy that W. Klitschko TKO'd in 2 lol
