Nearly a decade since the last heavy unification bout?

It's a start. The worry is that Chagaev may delay fighting Klitschko.
Big Sam will likely get the WBC belt and he'll want a Klitschko rematch. If he doesn't, and Maskaev keeps it, then the WBC becomes meaningless. Maskaev couldn't possible present a challenge to Klit, though I give him a shot at Peter.

I doubt that...Peter's handlers will avoid a rematch because they know if that rematch ever happens Peter will leave the ring in a body bag.It's a start. The worry is that Chagaev may delay fighting Klitschko.

Casual fans are drawn into boxing like flies to food when we have good heavyweights. Why? Because if you can find a big man who is fun to watch but also has the type of pop that is so concussive most opponents black out before they hit the canvas- people eat that **** up.
The year of 07 was amazing for boxing...but 08 stands to help the sport by showing us some meaningful heavyweight fights- and hopefully a dominant force will arise. My money is on Klitschko to unify and become a bigger name in America.Comment

Beating Ibragamov for his insignificant WBO belt doesnt take Wlad any closer towards being Undisputed champion.Comment

Ill be right with you. Wlad is the king!Comment

That won't make him 'undisputed champion'. Unified yes, but not undisputed.Comment

Wlad will be the last man standing within the unification series.
Obviously im biased, but i dont get the same feel of an indication of a big event, with Wlad v the best of the rest as i did with Lewis v Holyfield at the time.
Lewis v Holyfield was huge.Comment
