Ruslan Chagaev vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[The_Visitation]

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.

That baffles me, too; the guy has 46 KOs from 52 wins FFS.

Who's pumped to see this?!

I'm pumped!

Can Wlad be the first to defeat and KO Chagaev, and become Ring Champion?

[Mike_Dee]

at least Chagaev is a legitimate top heavyweight, unlike David Haye. The heavyweight division doesn't have much, but this fight is a step in the right direction.

Exactly!

Exactly!

Naw the thing is this fight definitely won't have the fireworks that Haye-Wlad would. Everybody knows that. This is gonna be a technical fight where as Haye-Wlad they gonna be throwin bombs and beatin the hell outta each other. That's why HBO dropped it and is right in doin so.

I have a bad feeling Chagaev is going to get this fight delayed until the year 2020. I hope it doesn't but... Sigh... I still would like to see Haye fight a Klitchko.

Not only that. No other man has KOed so many opponents in world title fights in the history of boxing.

Just as an example: Foreman scored only 3 KOs in world title fights against 200+ opponents.

In his career Wlad has KOed more 200+ non-bum opponents than Ali, Marciano, Sonny Liston and Archie Moore COMBINED **bum = someone who loses 25% or more)).

He has a higher KOratio than Foreman or Tyson. There are only a handful of people who have a higher KOratio (like David Rodriguez, Lee Canalito or Vitali Klitschko), but NONE of these people have boxed more opponents than Wlad or had world scale opponents.

He KOed good small and tall opponents (as opposed to Tyson).

You are completely free to believe that Chagaev might pull an upset. I am also not convinced that it will be a walk in the park for Klitschko. BUT HOW IN THE WORLD can someone be astonished if Wlad scores a KO?

[Klitschko2011]

Chagaev is undefeated and has a great chin, never been down.

I think Wlad will be the first man to knockdown and defeat Chagaev.

Klitschko KO 10

chagaev is still untested. had a easy road to the weakest title in the wekest division. big wlad should run this guy over, but he doesnt like southpaws much. and i have a feeling chagaev will turn ***** in the fight and just fight for survival. wlad by UD.
