WBA orders Chagaev-Valuev Rematch...

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Valuev deserves another shot, sure. Same outcome though.

Ha? "Another title shot"???

More like a rematch!

I'll pick this fight over a a meaningless defense against Krasniqui any day.

[The Hammer]

They should have a rematch. At first I was really impressed by Chagaev but lately he has been disappointing.

This fight should prove whether Chagaev is a true top heavyweight or just a fringe contender like Lyakhovich.

He's already proven he's a top heavyweight, with five wins over fighters currently rated in the top 20 by BoxRec and IBO, including three fighters currently rated in the top ten (Valuev, Virchis, and Ruiz). He's the only fighter to defeat Valuev and Virchis.

Ruslan also has has wins over Sprott and Skelton, both rated in the top 20 by the computerized BoxRec and IBO rankings.

His amateur career included two wins over Felix Savon, when Ruslan was still a teenager!

Come on now is anyone on this site ACTUALLY interested in this fight?? Aside from the white butt lickers???

We're all getting tired of seeing that girls cellulite butt in your sig. Can't you find a photo of a better looking woman than that? Why put Jessica Alba there instead?

are you kidding me? theres nothing wrong with that girl at all.

actually, from the reports Ive read, Virchis was given a huge gift when he fought Sprott...apparently, Sprott easily beat Virchis and one report even said Sprott gave him a boxing lesson, if I remember correctly. so I really wouldnt say Virchis is undefeated.

also, many people believe that Valuev was given a gift against an old Larry Donald as well, and Valuev possibly lost against Ruiz too, but that was a close and lousy fight. So I wouldnt really say hes undefeated either.
just pointing that out.


anyways, I guess this fight makes sense...but I really would rather not see it again...I dont like such quick rematches, and its not like their first fight was anything amazing anyway.
I would prefer unification.

I'd rather see him fight Wladimir, but guess that would asking for too much.

Ruslan didn't look too impressive in his last outing against Skeleton, this rematch should be pretty interesting.

Thats a good one..LOL

[MetalVomit]

makes more sense than Krasniqi (sp)

[potatoes]

Since we all know that Valuev fights like Herman Munster, we all know that he is very predictable and easy to fight. Chagaev was good enough to beat the great Felix Savon as an amateur. Anybody good enough to beat Savon once is good enough to beat Valuev twice.

[oblivionx]

yes.
he deserves the rematch.
