I've never seen this guy fight-- what do you all think his chances against the Brothers' K or David Haye would be?

[OumaFan]

Its hard to predict fights with Haye right now since he just is an unknown quantity at HW but I definitely don't think Chagaev would be out of his depth. Doubt he does much against the Klitchko's.

All that is disregarding the fact that he'd probably have to postpone any of those fights due to something along the lines of a stumped toe.

Ruslan could be a factor int the HW division IF...He ever actualy fought...Seems he is injured more then healthy......

Haye Vs Chagaev...would be interesting...Ruslan hits pretty hard and has a fair chin...It would let us know if Haye would last in the Division for sure....

Either Klitschko beats him fairly easily...He is slow and Wlads power would overwhelm him....Vitaly would make sport of him....

I've never seen Chagaev, either. But considering he was able to take on and take out Valuev I'd give him the overdog status against Haye.

I would not say he took out Valuev...Valuev is a horrible boxer and Chagaev just went in and fought the right fight....He moved around a lot and did not let Valuev get time to put in any real offense...It was the way all the other guys should have been fighting him all the while considering Valuev has no real KO power for a man his size...Chagaev was smart and did not try to trade and think he was going to find openings.....

Truth is John Ruiz was robbed against Valuev (1st time out)...(His fault for fighting in Germany)

Can we have a moratorium on fighting in Germany? The only fair fights are the ones when somebody gets knocked out. Wait, I think Steve Cunningham went into Germany and one, but that's the only one I can think of.
