Ruslan Chagaev vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[MANGLER]

Wlad blasts him late.

Ruslan is a world-class, skillful southpaw with an excellent chin.

This will be a much more competitive fight than a lot of people believe.

Yup, no way Chagaev will be leaning back as Ibragimov did.

Add to it

• that Klitschko could only train 3 weeks
• that Klitschko had to switch from othodox Haye to southpaw Chagaev while Chagaev already trained for a tall orthodox fighter
• that Chagaev's chin is a questionmark
• that Chagaev already fought a tall guy (Valuev)

... and you can get a highly competitive fight and maybe an upset.

I have a feeling Wlad will take him out late, or stop him by way of a cut/injury. As good a fighter as Chagaev is, I also feel it may be easier than some people expect.

No way Wlad KO's Chagaev, I'd be very surprised.

[theghost#1]

this fight will be like Wlad's fight with Sultan I. They both have similarities.

No way Wlad KO's Chagaev, I'd be very surprised.

I don't get it. How can anyone be surprised if Wlad KOs someone? It's like saying "I would be very surprised if Tyson KOs someone". And Tyson had a lower KOratio than Wlad.

If it's any consolation, I highly doubt Atlas would do the commentary anyways, seeing that it is overseas.

It will be hired guns like Al Bernstein and/or Colonel Bob Sheridan.

I am all for a Saturday afternoon live event between Chagaev and Klitschko.

I hope it's Benny Ricardo and Colonel Sheridan.

I haven't seen much of Chagaev. Although, I guess no one really has. The guy has been injured so much it's been hard enough for himself to see him in the ring.

I just hope this is a good fight and not a snorefest. And I hope I can see the fight.

You can say that Wlad will KO Chagaev and disagree wit me, but you are goin into Eastern Euro dream world if you compare Tyson to Wladimir Klitschko. Then you gonna throw in b.s. KO ratio's? You new here bro, work your way into the forum discussions easy.

I just hope the dude gives Wlad a good fight. But I picked Wlad by late TKO. I haven't really seen to much a chagaev.
