    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
