Wladimir vs Chagaev: For Undisputed Title?

[lennon]

Wlad still wont be undisputed. Plus theres no gaurantee that the WBA belt will be on the line, Valuev owns half of that belt and theres bound to be legal action by Don King to prevent the belt being on the line after chagaev was ruled mediacally unfit to fight valuev for it.

If Wladimir is not Crowned the Undisputed champ if he beats Chagaev.. people are just being ridiculous..

3 of the belts and the RING belt?? any other fighter would be called the "MAN"..Some people just can't credit Wladimir no matter what he does..

[FreshPrince]

No. Vitali has 25% of the championship and it's not clear who is the better Klitschko. And he wouldn't get all of the WBA title.

[Welter_Skelter]

SORRY but everyone of you guys will credit any other Ring Champ as the man..

The good thing is.. is that BOXING will consider him the man..
and that is good enough for me..

Wlad beats Chagaev and gets 50% of WBA belt.
Vit beats Valuev and gets the other 50% of WBA belt.

Then Wlad vs Vit decide who is undisputed: The winner will hold the WBA and WBC and the other belts.

Vit beats Valuev and gets the other 50% of WBA belt.

Trouble is, I don't think the simple math will apply. Chagaev doesn't literally hold half the title, he is the co-champion which is not the same thing. It will be down to the WBA ultimately, of course, but I doubt they'll sanction the fight on that logic. Wlad having 'half' the title would make it even messier for the WBA than it is now. Far more likely that they will strip either Chagaev or Valuev, depending on their verdict on the Helsinki fiasco.

Trouble is, I don't think the simple math will apply. Chagaev doesn't literally hold half the title, he is the co-champion (as a result of all that champion-in-recess bollocks) which is not the same thing. The unfinished business is between him and Valuev for the right to both hold the belt and put it on the line against another fighter. It will be down to the WBA ultimately, of course, but I doubt they'll sanction the fight on that logic. Wlad having 'half' the title would make it even messier for the WBA than it is now.
