I think both these guys are nowhere where they should be. Mismanagement and inactivity has diminished their stock and what should have been a classic heavyweight match is now a big question mark.
from fight news: Chagaev (27-1-1, 17 KOs), a native of Ukraine who fights out of Berlin, Germany, captured the WBA heavyweight title when he dethroned 7-foot defending champion Nikolai Valuev via a majority decision in April 2007. During his two-year, Chagaev successfully defended his title winning decisions over Matt Skelton (21-1) and Carl Drumond (26-0). Since losing to Wladimir Klitschko in 2009, Chagaev has defeated Kali Meehan and Travis Walker en route to becoming the WBA #1 heavyweight contender.
Uzbekistan. Come on now Fight News step your game up.
Chagaev at the best I've seen is better than the best Povetkin I've seen. Chagaev just seems like his time might be up though. It ought to be interesting.
