Felix Savon who KOed David Tua was defeated by Chagaev

[The Hammer]

Interesting how all the haters say there's no way Chagaev has as good a chin as David Tua, even though he has never been knocked down as a professional or as an amateur.

But in 1997, a teenaged Ruslan Chagaev defeated the great Felix Savon.

Felix Savon KOed David Tua, but never put Chagaev down in their three fights, two of which Chagaev won.

Here's Tua vs. Savon:

Tua was also knocked down by Rahman at the end of their second fight. Granted it was after the bell but he went down alright.

yeh that first Tua/Rahman battle was a classic...

[LA BAD BOY]

Chagaev beat Savon two times and Savon beat Chagaev one time!

Chagaev beat Savon two times and Savon beat Chagaev one time!

That's correct.

And the point of this thread is to make klitschkos punching power seem better than it really is when he gets a tko over chagaev.

Who really gives a **** about the amateurs? I mean really. Chagaev beating Valuev counts for more then that win against Savon imo.

Do u doubt their power (when they use it)?

So does that mean Chagaev has higher than 0% chance of winning against Vlad?

No, the purpose of this thread is to answer the Klitschko haters who will discredit Wlad if he stops the iron-chinned Chagaev.

Such haters JUST CAN'T give Wlad credit, no matter what he does or who he KOs.
