Wladimir Klitschko Calls Chagaev The True WBA Champion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Countdown for the "Coronation auf Schalke“. This Saturday over 60.000 fans in the Arena auf Schalke and millions of people on RTL will be watching the highly anticipated fight of the heavyweight world champions. Both champions Ruslan Chagaev (WBA) and Wladimir Klitschko (IBF, WBO) met for the first time at the Press Conference in Gelsenkirchen. Universum-Promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl, who flew in with Chagaev and his team to Gelsenkirchen, stated on the podium: "We have applied for a Special Request with the WBA, that Ruslan will be defending his WBA title and it will be a unification bout. The opposition will have time until Wednesday to comment on that case. We will be awaiting a decision by the WBA until than. We haven't heard anything official yet and we are remain calm. [details]

Since Valuev (and his promoters Don King and Sauerland) bitched out of fighting Chagaev, Wladimir is correct.

The 7' 310 pound Nicolay was afraid to get vaccinated. He's a disgrace to Russia.

Of course Wlad is calling him the 'true champ', as he would pick up the belt. What a load of BS; as has been the whole 'champion in recess' fiasco.

Chagaev may have beaten Valuev, but with any other sanctioning board would would have been stripped for not defending it. Unless it can be shown that Chagaev v. Valuev didn't happen because of actions solely by the Valuev camp (which, despite the usual Tunney BS, hasn't yet happened), Valuev is the champ in my book. And to win it, Wlad should fight the big guy unless somebody else beats him first.

Hah. Carl Davis Drumond should be WBA champ right now, instead of these two bitches (Chags and Valuev).

Nobody but you considers Valuev the Champ. If anything the title should be vacant.

That would make sense.. That Vaulev fan is just another Klit hater..

[PittyPat]

Pretty damn much. Neither guy has shown anything whatsoever to warrant that strap around their waist. Chags won a bull**** stoppage against Drumond (which I'm pretty sure he would've lost had it gone the distance), and Valuev was awarded the biggest robbery in HW boxing history.

Haha i wonder why!!!!! If he was fighting Jack Johnson he'd say HE was the current champ!! *****!!!

Not only bitched out of Valuev vs Chagaev.
They also refused to face Wlad. "It's Wednesday (= the Wednesday after the scheduled saturday bout) and we haven't been training since Friday. Moreover Wlad is orthodox while we trained for southpaw". Lame.

I'm still on valuevs side on this one.chagaev never defended because of injuries so he shouldn't be any kind of champ & secondly I read a few articles about the sanctioning bodies in Germany have way lower standards & regulation concerning hep.there standards are some of the lowest in the world I've heard.don't know how accurate the articles are but I wouldn't have fought if I valuev.hep a or b mite not kill you but it's rough on the body & a ****ty recovery period.I knew 2 guys who had it & it was very hard on their families.I don't blame valuev for puulling our.he gave up 2 million
