So he's not retiring after all then huh? I guess I should restore him in my Heavyweight rankings then.

Great! Now he can rematch Fres Oquendo!

It was an epic match a few years ago, but it will be even better now that they're both older, Chagaev is coming off a KO loss, and Oquendo has done absolutely nothing in two years!
