[realheavyhands]

this is a very tough fight to call. Im leaning slightly toward chageav but I dont know. could go either way

both are saouthpaws too wich makes it even tougher

yea...probably going to be a lot of awckward feeling out,,,,espescially at the beginning but I get the feeling its going to turn into a pretty good fight. sultan will likely be a lot more agressive than he was against the mammouth sized briggs. he's fun to watch when he lets those combos fly

[-Antonio-]

all chagaev has is a left hand its powerful.. but sultan hits with both

His right jab ****s all over Sultan's.

Who cares which one of them wins???

Who cares which of these warriors wins this fight? These guys don't care about money (skipping a first optional defense against #20 ranked ****er to make an extra mil). They don't care about "OMG, what happens if I lose, how will I get back on top and make more $$$". All they care about is to fight their way to the top and to see who is the best out there. I don't give a **** how good, bad, or popular they are. They have bigger balls than Wlad and every single HW fighter since 1999. I just hope the fight takes place and I'm able to watch it live on TV. And by the way, I think Chagaev takes it after an extremely hard fought fight by MD.

I agree with everything you said except the MD. You can't really predict that kind of thing because you never know how the judges will vote. In any event, I think Chagaev wins a decision as well.

Hopefully Wladimir will fight the winner in 2008.

Well, two southpaws with hit and move style will be a pretty close fight IMO. You're right, nobody can predict the score. I think the fight will be very close though, with Chagaev being a little more active and precise. Hence, the MD. Never mind the score though, I'm just excited about this fight taking place altogether. As for Wlad fighting the winner in 2008, all we've heard from Wlad is that he wants to unify and not a single hint about even a discussion with any of other title holders. First, it was Don King, which was understandable. Now that King is not in the picture, time to walk the walk and Wlad is not doing it. We'll see, time will tell.

Excellent post. This is fantastic news.

....I hope your right about this part. If not then Wlad is kind of left out in the cold with no chance to unify if Vitali takes out Peter. I just hope one of those guys has the balls to attempt to fight Wlad for all three.

The new front page column acts like Wlad will give up his IBF belt if he retains against Brewster anyway rather than have to fight the Byrd-Brock winner. Byrd-Brock fight in an IBF eliminator and Wlad is already 3-0 against them

Good step. Doesn't matter if they're "bums" or no, or if Klitschko is still considered #1 by most. Unifying these 2 belts will make it easier in the long run for a full unification.

Excellent, we need title unification and these guys are stepping up. If Maskaev-Peter ever happens, the winner(Peter) will then fight Vitali, so no unification on that side. Maybe Wlad Klitschko will fight the winner of this fight though.
