Comments Thread For: Ruslan Chagaev is Found, Retires From Boxing

Oquendo/Ortiz would be a fun one while it lasts. And the upside... we'd finally be rid of Oquendo.

[aretrospective]

Oh man the WBA just gets worse and worse. How on earth is Oquendo in line for another shot (just checked WBA rankings, he's currently at 4)?

He's been inactive for 2 years & his last fight was a loss. He's also 43 years old.

Having got into boxing around or just after he was at his peak, I've just had a look at his record. Whilst he's ducked nobody and fought many top guys, he did lose to them all. There wasn't one 'good' win on there. I guess his fans would say he gave the top guys close fights, fair enough, but that's the past.

Surely no-one in their right mind would have him in the top 50 heavyweights at this point.

Oquendo went full on ****** in his pursuit of chasing Chagaev through the courts, the WBA has literally no choice but to mandate this cheesed1ck. Look Ortiz aint getting a crack at the full title any time soon, he may as well bury the corpse of Oquendo in the mean time, hell he's doing the boxing world a favour, besides their is still time for him to disappear himself yet, which lets be honest he probably will, you really think he'll fancy getting in their with this gorilla ? Dude is playing ball with killas now, Chagaev was a creme puff.

Haha. Oh yeah I remember hearing about the court case now. What a joke.

Some might say in light of faded Chagaev's retirement, if Oquendo now has to get in with an Ortiz / Parker or the like for the WBA and take a smashing (which he would), he has been "Hoist by one's own ******" :-)

Oquendo has one of two options, face Ortiz and earn a final pay cheque or turn out in one of those movies Yusuf Mack made, my guess is he'll likely make a movie or two a la Mack. I very much doubt he fights Ortiz.

[All in]

Oquendo will be brutally KO'D

[nycsmooth]

Russian has been fighting 4 a long time mayb he will stay retired ...but Fres, how can WBA rank him #1, he doesn't deserve to be number 10 in the weakest division in boxing...

LMAO. I still can't believe Oquendo is in this position. I have absolutely no desire to ever see him fight again, but if Ortiz can end him once and for all it will be worth it. And I know Chagaev has kinda been a caricature of himself the last few years, but he was a pretty good fighter once upon a time. Enjoy retirement you fat bastard!

Who wrote this headline? Upon first glance, it makes it sound like he's dead.
