I would prefer Valuev, but he doesn't have the courage - he has tiny gonads for such a big man.

I have a feeling Chagaev may do it, since he lost a couple of million dollars in purse when Valuev refused to fight him.

There sure are a lot of people who want the big payday and title shot! Toney, Minto, Johnson, Solis, and more.

I honestly would want to see Chagaev-Wlad. I think Chagaev is very underrated he just hasnt been healthy to show his skills

According to The Ring website, Wlad's management was contacted by over 20 heavyweights today, offering to replace Haye.

Since HBO isnt the main television network controlling this fight they dont have control over who Wlad fights, so i think if HBO dosent like the opponent they just decide not to televise.

this could be Chagaev's chance. Ive always felt like he was the darkhorse of the division. imo he has a serious chance(better than all the other names floating around) of beating Wlad

Chagaev would be one of the better choices.

Best: Valuev, Chagaev, Ruiz, Povetkin, Arreola, Dimitrenko

Acceptable, but not the best: Minto, Meehan, Brewster, Johnson, Solis, JC Gomez, Cameron, Grant

Unacceptable: Toney, Holyfield, Maskaev, Rahman, Peter, Thompson

I dont think Ahmet Oner would risk Odlanier Solis' career by putting him in so early against Wlad.

I've never seen Chagaev but I think he will get the nod. Is he entertaining to watch?

No, he's an awkward southpaw like Ibragimov and Thompson, so it will be another not-so-entertaining fight that the Wlad haters will dwell on for years to come. Ruslan is more willing to engage than Ibragimov though.

And Chagaev would be a good win on Wlad's resume.
