Can Chagaev win?

[Breadbin]

Anything is possible in the heavyweight division.

Chagaev is arguably a better fighter than Lamon Brewster. Since the Brewster fight, I've always given Wlad's opponents a chance of winning. Chagaev is not the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division, but according to Michael Sprott he hits very hard.

There is no doubt about it Chagaev is miles better than the best Brewster.

Chagaev is technically very sound he also gets inside very easily he has good upper body movement.

Will get gassed easily with his illness

Well, don't worry: Wlad is both: the medicine AND the doctor... and WILL send him to bed.

Wlad seems more focused and motivated than ever and will be very hard to beat. I think he's taking a lot of passion into this fight which is the result of his anger towards David Haye...

On the other hand, for Chagaev to win he's gotta be very offensive minded and willing to take some big shots to get in some of his own. Basically, he's got to in with a "do or die" attitude and try not to get frustrated by Wlad's tight defense...

Sure he can win. I think he will get KOed though. Wlad is too skilled for him and hits hard.

[paul750]

Yeah, he can win. He can win if he comes in with bits broken glass on his gloves.

was just wondering what you guys thought(realistically) about Chagaev's chances.

Punchers chance early on, maybe. Wlad is the superior boxer and I'm expecting a KO rather than UD.
