Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
A man that big only needs to be at an elementary level in boxing to be affective ...when your arm weighs 50 lbs and u have the leverage to keep chopping down on someone its effective ....we havnt had to see him actually get drawn into a real shoot out ...i think hes underrated
then reality hits and u relize he has a belt and somebody is gonna have to beat him
Wlad will beat him ...then toney beats wlad ;D lol
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
Personally, until someone puts him on his ass, I think people should lay off the big man. He's KO'd or beaten everyone that's been put in front of him, and as many people suggest, he's got fair hands and heavy punches, and I also think he'd beat Sam Peter if he was put in front of him.
When we reach the creme de la crme of the current generation of heavyweights, and it's not exactly very cramy at the moment, I think it would be very competitive between Valuev and Toney or Rahman, but i'm with everyone else who wants to see Valuev v Wlad K.
and it would be a top notch fight too.
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
Nikolai Valuev is improving and getting a little "mean" too. Uh oh! He doesn't care for the names and prefers the one his parents gave him. He is a soft-spoken, educated family man. Is this what folks really don't like? Etienne and Beck were fine athletes and had a tough time reaching him. Now, ask both of those guys about Valuev's uppercut! Valuev is wonderful for boxing; he is a figure of interest and will probably wind up with fifty wins...like it or not. He is amazingly strong, and Donald knocked the dickens out of him, and he, Valuev, took it. :-\
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
Klitschko might defeat Valuev, but Toney would go to the hospital; Valuev is underrated. Watch the big guy! ::**
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
lets skip the bs and put the big guy in with wlady...forget the other clowns in the heavyweight this two should get it on...give the big guy some credit his undefeated and still ain't been on his a$s...as for wlady his skilled and seem to be the best out their right now...this is the only fight i will watch in the heavyweight division...other matches are just a waste of time...
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
He is definetly improving, but really, Owen Beck is pretty shit. He didn't even keep his hands up, Valuev however seemed to have better combos as I just watched the fight... I dunno he could be something... We'll have to see, if he ever really steps up.
Re: How good is the 'Beast from the east'?
IT WAS OWEN FREAKIN BECK!!!
