I don't think he's fast but I'm not sure I think of him as slow, not compared to most heavyweights.

I don't think he'd beat Wlad or Peter -although a fight with Peter wouldn't be bad-but I guess I don't rate Chagaev as high as you do. I think he's pretty good, better than Ibragimov, but I definitely don't see him having his way with him. I mean its not like Chagaev even really dominated Valuev who was horrible that night, talk about slow.
Valuev wasn't horrible, Chagaev made him fight bad, and Valuev is underrated by most. I think Chagaev's amateur record speaks for itself. Technically he is a very solid fighter, and is good at everything while not great at anything. I think he is a top 5 heavyweight.
