Chagaev vs. Skelton close

[bzkfn]

Boxing scene has two articles on it. As thats the site, I can't post a link.

Warren confirmed these reports in The Sun, saying it'd be a fairytail story for Skelton.

Can you guys believe this?

I want to, but theres been so many false promises of a World title shot before now its hard not to expect another pointless matchup with Danny Williams or even worse Audley Harrison.

A fight Skelton could win!

I agree Matt has a chance in this one.....I can't believe we have guys like Sultan, Chagaev, Oleg as champion ...Those three are almost on par with Thomas, Tubbs, Berbick, Smith in the 80's......

It's a transition period...These guys will hopefully serve their purpose by unifying the titles and getting Kayoed by the next true champion. Don't no who he is yet but i don't see any of the current flock being him....and i'm sorrry i'm including Wlad there

Wow, thats pretty bold. Povetkin looks really good for someone who has only had 14 fights. If you're looking for a young up and comer, look no further than Matthew Skelton.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Believe it or not Bz i've never seen him box, so i can't judge on him at all....

Skelton is an ok bloke...
He seems to put in the effort to improve his boxing every fight and although he has come on in leaps and bounds he's still not great. But he is strong determined and dogged so in this era perhaps he can make an impact.

Chris Arreola looks ok but im not convinced... iF he meets Povetkin, it'd be a matchup i'd be interested in.

The Byrd fight is on youtube. Split into 4 parts if i remember rightly.

I don't know Donny...IMO Wlad is a solid guy...he has the skills to do it all...the power,,,without a doubt to stop a train if need be...he improves each time out....and TBH IMO his jaw is not as bad as everyone likes to make out....he was starched by very hard hitting sanders....something I also contribute to panic mode...Wlad got hurt and did not know what to do he just sort of froze up and kept getting tagged.....his brewster loss he was gassed out and just ripe for pickings.....The Peter fight he went down but got back up 3 times..he has learned to compose himself a bit better in those situations...something I give Manny credit for,,,,,and Peter hits damn hard we all know that....

Is his chin great NO but not made of fine china either...I rate it higher the Oleg's,,,,And the reason I bring the chin up is thats really Wlads only downfall

So if Skelton gets Chagaev and wins. Which is possible.

How close do you think we'd be to an all british title fight between Haye & Skelton?

That would be fantastic IMO

[BubbleBox]

Haye needs to stay away from Warren's Brit Heavyweight cock up!

But if Skelton gets this fight...it is one he could win!!

I think everyone is jumping the gun. Chagaev will outbox him to a wide unanimous decision. Ig Chagaev can do that to Valuev, he'll sort Skelton without issue.

Also Jim, if Skelton fights Haye, Skelton gets a serious raping.

I'll agree Daxx, he is solid. However in my view he is nothing spectacular. He's got a good jab, a good straioght right and an improved ring presence. However although thgis ring presence has improved it's still good...not great.
Remember the quote that goes "in every era there is one guy who is so dominant..." Well i just don't believe Wlad is that guy.
I give him all the credit in the world for winning the peter fight. However, he just doesn't seem to have the aura of a champion about him....It's a pity.

Perhaps it's me beiong old fashioned but i like the heavyweight champion of the world to win in style, to have some unique aspects in his strategy and a bit of charisma....However i just don't see anyone fitting those descriptions anytime soon.

Spot on.

I quite like Skelton, but lets be honest he's crap. He doesn't even have a punchers chance.

Plus the fight will take place in Germany. So the most likely outcome is Skelton gets DQ'd.
