When you have a division like the welter and middle weights, you don't need the heavyweights...

I think a guys like Wlad would be a foe in any era but its just the division duznt excite me any more, it needs another Tyson or Ali,if we wait 5 - 10 years 1 should pop up! So yeah in the mean time thank **** for the Welters and co!

I feel the same way...and 'they' use to say,as go the heavyweights go boxing.No longer....

There is not a heavyweight match-up that excites me,while there are many at the lighter weights.

Well maybe a ButterBean vs James Toney hot-dog eating contest would be exciting...Sam Peter gets the winner.

I hope you're right Soprano, I've been waiting for a worthwhile hw fight for a long time. Do you think there's been any preliminary negotiations going 'behind the scenes?'

I don't know... Chagaev just became the WBA champ.... I would imagine he wants to hold on to his title a bit longer that to face Wlad..
Wlad is no Valuev and everyone knows it...

Is that the reason he pulled out of the Ibragimov fight?

Yeah, I agree completely; three times per year is frequent enough to satisfy fans and not too much to ask from a professional athlete…

If Klitshcko fought that “third” fight a year, the division would be much clearer and transparent…

Wlad wanted to fight a unification, or at least as you say "a meaningful fight" this year.. Problem is, HBO said they don't have the budget until 2008.

This is why I said as early as January

Wlad has stated in recent interviews that he was waiting for the outcome of the Ibragimov Holyfield fight to start negotiations, I dont think he will go for Chagaev, but uit doesnt seem to make mych sense because Tony the tiger is the mandatory for Ibragimov, too much ****** ass politics in this sport

this fight has all the potential to be a good one, I think these two cats are going to go at it big time with Lyko winning by ud or a late round tko, Valuev is too damn slowand will take a beating

[!!Captain]

A hungry Lyakhovich should easily win a UD over Valuev. Poor Ruiz is probably pissed right now after all that **** he said about Lyakhovich not wanting to fight him on a 10-days notice.
