Who should Ruslan Chagaev fight in his first defense of the WBA title?

[Steak]

last time I checked, Imbragimov was the highest ranked contender to the WBA title. Why not make Chagaev fight Imbragimov if Sultan defeats Briggs?

Otherwise, I pick Tony Thompson. Not a huge name, doesnt really do anything spectacular, but he has a string of quality wins...I believe hes due for a title shot.

Liakhovich does not deserve no title shot until he comes back wit hat least one fight from that poor performance he put on against Briggs
Thompson or Imbragimov imo.

holyfield would get battered and lose a very one sided fight to chageav. you seem to be forgetting the last 2 times he fought legititmate top 20 guys in toney and donald he got beaten badly. his last several fights have been against tailor made opponents who were right in front of him

Oquendo is as good as Donald.

He was practically winning every round against Tua and gave Byrd a very tough fight.

Holyfield says he was fighting injured when he lost to Toney and Donald, and that he is completely healed now. After seeing how devastating he was against Maddalone, I believe him. I know Vinnie's not a top heavyweight, but he and Oquendo are not bums either.

beez721, I agree with about 98% of what you write on this website, but on this I disagree. Although he is past his prime, Holyfield is still a tough boxer and he has a couple more good fights left in him.

Donald UD Oquendo all day and night....at least the Oquendo that fought Holyfield.I thought Oquendo would win easily....he was just flat and lame....i don't credit Holyfield much for the win.
