[!! Mr. Soprano]

WTF...

This is the second time he pulled out! First with Ibragimov, now with Valuev!

Strip that *****!

When Chagaev first won the title i was impressed with his performace but he is becoming annoying keep pulling out of fights that he might lose hopefully they will strip him and let Valuev fight someone for the title.

damn universum fighters, Inkin and Chagaev have both twice pulled out of recent fights

because they could lose them i hope chageav gets striped, he looked **** in his last fight although it was against skelton. he is gonna be even more rusty in his next fight i would like to see Valuev against Haye lol.

Chagaev should Fight or give up his belt... Ok he isn't off wrestling or dancing with stars.. But these "Champs" need to fight more often.. Once every 16 months doesn't cut it..

ha, I see everyone is as shocked as I am.

[MANGLER]

**** Chagaev. he's a decent HW but he's makin a bad habit outta this ****. I'd rather see him wit a belt than Valuev, but if he ain't gonna fight then piss on him. The fights might be pointless but at least Wlad's actually gonna face his mandatories.

Chagaev has a chronic viral infection, so he should retire and let Valuev fight for the vacant belt.

I believe him - I've known people with nasty viral illnesses such as shingles and hepatitus C.

But these delays are not good for boxing, and he'll likely never be 100% again anyway.

yeah thats the sad part, hes becoming the champ who cried wolf. I'm sure it's legit, but twice in nine months is cause for speculation, even if it's against a fighter he's already beaten
