and haye was gonna fight chag wasnt he? didnt his aids get in the way?

do you honestly think chag would beat haye?

and this isnt a thread about whos competition at HW is better coz haye has only fought 5 or 6 times and it is a no brainer, this is a thread about has wlads recent competition over rated his stock?
#1 You know what I meant

#2 Wlad had trained to fight a certain fighter who pulled out at the last minute do to a "back injury". Chagaev had trained to fight Valuev in Finland but oddly Finland wouldn't allow the fight to happen due to Chagaev's hepatitis. So for the sake of not wasting time Wlad offered the fight to Valuev and then to Chagaev who agreed. Seeing how Chagaev wasn't who they were training to fight and camp was damn near over I consider that short notice. Chagaev was a different style fighter altogether...at least Valuev was tall and orthodox like Wlad is, the skill level is entirely different but oh well.

#3 Yeah, sure, just like he was going to fight dangerous opposition when Monte damn Barrett showed up ...he was NEVER going to go through with that fight the hepatitis just gave him an excuse.

#4 if anyone's competition has overrated their stock its the WBA title holder, at heavyweight AND cruiserweight. He was given one of the easiest roads to a belt I've ever seen.
