After David Haye pulled out of his fight with Klitschko, citing a back injury, Klitschko being in great shape wanted to fight on the scheduled date and now has to face Ruslan Chagaev a fighter with a 25-0-1 record. Which fighter do you think will win and who is the tougher challenge for Klitschko out of Haye or Chagaev?

The heavyweight division is a non-topic. There seems to be zero interest in this weight class with the general public. And unless your sport can draw the general public, you don't have a sport.
I think they should create a super heavyweight division to get rid of this boring class of fighters and let the cruisers take over the top spot.

I think theres a ring of truth to that but the real truth is that there are just no exciting HW's out there and an American champion, white or black, would have a much larger fan base. I personally like what Wlad has done. But I would be in the minority on that.

It's funny to hear so much of this BS about "the division is dead".The truth of it is that there are people out there who aren't comfortable seeing White champions (the Klitschkos) totally dominating the heavyweights.
If it were a couple of Black brothers doing the same thing we'd never hear the end of the praises sung.

Right mate you heard correctly. It's also set to air on Setanta as well; at 0700 AM Sunday here I think.

I bet Hatton probably did transorm back to Fatton. How long do you think it took for the transformation back to Fatton? Oh and I still say Arreola is better than that playa

I think Haye's handspeed would overwhelm Arreloa. Arreloa is fairly quick for a big man, so I think being in with someone that much faster would be a total shock for him. Its one thing to get hurt, then while your hurt be able to see the pnches coming. Its another to get hurt, then not know hwere the next one is coming from. Ask Fatton.

I don't know about that King-Barret isn't as good as Arreola and it took Haye 4 or 5 rounds to get him out of there. Also-I've seen big man in trouble before-knocked down even but he maintained composure and came back to win-to stop his man even. So I don't know about the Pacquaio/ Hatton type stoppage

Probably Pacquaio-Hatton. Haye is a cruiserweight.

The divison is dead bruh. I suppose with the push HBO is giving Arreola, they'll show him against either of the Klitschko brothers. Too bad him against either is a f*ckin massacre.

I think HBO should have went ahead and showed W. Klitschko-Chagaev, but I understand them not wanting it. Although the last time a heavyweight pulled out at the last minute and we got a late replacement, we got Lewis-V. Klitschko. HBO seems to have forgotten that. Either way, whether its HBO, Showtime, or the Disney Channel, I don't care. At least we're getting to see the fight. But the way the last couple W. Klitschko fights have gone, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
