    a decision cant be changed unless they can PROVE that there was some kind of rule violation. the best they can do is order a rematch. i hope something comes out of it, its a shame what happened.

      Jesus, what a mess...

      So in theory, as champion in recess Chagaev had until June 2009 to fight the winner of Valuev-Holyfield and reclaim "his" title. Except now we don't know who "won" the Valuev-Holyfield fight. So if the WBA Championship committee do order a Valuev-Holyfield rematch, what happens to their champion in recess? And regardless of all this, does anyone really want to see a rematch of a V-H fight no one wanted to see in the first place.

      The sooner someone comes along and cleans up the heavyweight division the better.
