    Ruiz and Valuev are promoted by Don King, and the WBA does whatever he wants.

      There needs to be 'Night of Young Heavyweight' shows to establish who the best young heavyweights are. This is complete garbage.

        The younger heavyweights should fight the older ones, to establish the new generation. I want to see more fights like Arreola vs. McCline.

        Dimitrenko vs. Ruiz would be good...

        Then, the younger fighters can fight each other.

          Awful a thought as it is, I wish Holy would get anotha shot. Fight was terrible, but Holy shoulda won it.

              John Ruiz looks spectacular compared to those 2 guys. I want those guys as far as they can. Finland is good but if they can fight in Groenland that would be better.

                Interesting that it's taking place in Finland. A rematch between these has been on the cards for a while, and most of the fight should be a tactical battle, Valuev trying to use jab and reach to keep Chagaev at bay, while Chagaev's try to get inside and land his combinations and rack points.

                It could be a close one again, but I see Chagaev coming out on top.

                  I just sent an email to the WBA chairman letting him know my feeling and i advise you all to do the same
                  maybe if enough fans let it be known how ****ty they are making the heavyweights, they might do something about it
                  joliverg@wbanews.com is his email address

                    This will put Finland off boxing for years.

                      lot of russian tourist travel to Finland anyway so why not watch a fight also.
                      and finnish heavyweight prospect robert helenius is with sauerland so he is sure to be on the card.

                      not sure if I'm going to go to the fight,depends a lot of ticket prices
