    Default forgotten man of the heavyweight division fights this saturday

    Ruslan Chagaev 1year after his win over matt skelton finally makes his return to the ring fighting a guy called carl davis drummond.

    Why this guy constantly gets overlooked when discussing the future of the division is beyond me as unlike most of his predecessors has backed up his talent in the past.

    Showed against valuev he isnt afraid to get his hands dirty and barring anymore injuries should be able to get himself right back into the mix and hopefully that eventual rematch with valuev that`ll see him rightfully reclaim a world title
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    He's had an achillies tear, we will see how much that effects him. Thats a big time injury.

    Chagaev gets overlooked because he's in the WBA trash heap and hasn't made any effort to get out of the junior circuit....wake me when he fights somebody worth a damn. Believe me I appreciate him beating Valuev but I just don't think he's all that great

    I agree. Chagaev has been an absolute pussy since winning the wba super regular title. First he backed out of a unification bout with Sultan Ibragamov. Then he stalled unification fights for over a year until he was injured.

    He will never fight a dangerous fighter because, deep down inside, he knows he is mediocre.

    He is a blue collar fighter, seems to have a decent chin, and decent punch output, but he doesn't have great power or speed or anything else....he couldn't KO John Ruiz or Nicolay Valuev.....what does that tell you

    And the best fighters he has fought other than those two guys are Matt Skelton and Vladimir Virchis.....dude, seriously those are the only guys in the division you can dig up to fight you?!?!?!


    Chagaev like the rest of the WBA Superfriends, hasn't fought a legit power puncher yet. I would like to see the divisions younger talent go after the WBA belt and THEN go after Wlad or Vitali.....they gain experience and earn a title then get a shot at the TRUE title holders of the division....Haye, Arreola, Dimitrenko, Sam Peter, etc etc etc....they should go after those assholes in the junior circuit, I'd bet on them if they did!

    He is just another mediocre heavyweight who does just enough to win but not enough to set himself apart from the other lackluster heavyweights.

    I like Chagaev, but he has been pulling out of a lot of fights due to injuries and such, he was suppose to fight Valuev again, had his achilles problem, then they rescheduled then he had a chest cold or something and dropped out of that fight.

    Well I will ask you, how do you fancy his chances vs Wladimir or Vitali?

    I don't really like his chances vs Sam Peter, Cris Arreola, Alexander Dimitrenko, or Sultan Ibragimov.

    IMO he's the ex-Soviet southpaw version of John Ruiz.....1 Ruiz is enough

    More importantly. Has this Drummond got a chance? He certainly looks to keep himself in shape which is a nice change for a heavyweight and he has KO'd 20 from 26 so he may carry some power. I'll be slightly interested in this!

    HIs record is far too padded to know whether he has power.
