He got his ass handed to him by Barrett & seemingly does get outclassed when he steps up.
The question is...is Valuev a step up?
quite literally a 10 1/2 inch step upQuote:

Well Valuev is at least a better version of Ray Austin who beat Beck. Thats why Valuev picked him
Valuev has NEVER fought a decent fighter....Ruiz and Donald aside (I thought that those guys beat him though)
Yeah, he's garbage. Made Monte Barrett like a future championQuote:

I think Monte could give Valuev a good hard fight
No he can't. Your right, Barrett isn't that bad. He can handle guys his size. Beck, Guinn, Mesi. But bigger, taller fighters (Klitschko, Lance Whitaker)? He's out of his league against them. Too much size for him. Valuev is garbage. But he's a big, tall pile of garbage.Quote:

Problem was they were good friends. Should of seen it coming when they were talking so highly of each other before the fight. I don't think not one negative thing was said before the fight. And Rahman is a talkerQuote:

You aren't in the ring to play paddycakes, you're there to beat someone up so that you either KO them or win a decision....you aren't there thinking about FEELINGS
true...I'd KO the Pope if he was in the ring with me....Quote:
