Nicolay Valuev wants to be champ again ....

As you may already know if not then former WBA Heavyweight champion of the world Nikolay Valuev will return to the ring in his first fight since losing his title to Ruslan Chagaev by Majority Decision.

The 7ft 1ins Valuev returns on September the 29th as he takes on Jean-Francois Bergeron.

Valuev (46-1, 34KOS) said "I want to be world champion again. I have learned from the first loss of my career. I now have something to prove and the fight against Bergeron will be the first step."

Canadian Bergeron is a 34 yr old southpaw who is undefeated in 27 contests with 19 stoppage wins.

Valuev added "It will be an interesting fight but i will prevail"

Any thoughts on this fight and can he make it to the top again ???

...yea him and every other heaveyweght. It was pretty amazing how big he is but that wore off, and it was kinda cool watching to see if he was going to get the record, but without all the antics I really don't care too much for nicolay. The way the heavyweight division is right now i think it is possible for him to get one of the belts again though.

I think the best thing about watching him fight is how he steps over the top rope to get into the ring ,after that he is a dissapointment. He is big but he just has nothing to offer.

Ha ha, you know my mate was watching one of his fights with me and when he asked if he was any good I said "no, but watch how he gets into the ring"
;D

Not sure what to think about this canadian kid he's fighting though. Although he's undefeated, there's no names or titles of interest on his record, so its hard to judge him, so has anyone ever seen him fight?

At 6'5" he's a fairly good height and closer to Valuev in height than little Ruslan Chagaev. If he's serious about his boxing, this Bergeron fella will be looking at this as a massive chance to burst on the world scene, and his motivation should at least push him to try and do something, and he's got a fair record of KOs too.

I still quite like Valuev, although he's huge, I tend to look at him as someone with a crippling condition, and want to see him do well to keep for later years, as his size will obviously give him problems going into later life.

I'm a bit embaressed to admit that I have seen Bergeron, actually... I live in Canada and like many here will watch any fight that's on when Im watching TV for the most part. He sucks, big time. He's completely shit, take my word for it. No need to be interested in this.

Well, I guess that explains why Valuev is fighting someone with a '0' in the defeats column. But is he too s**t to give Valuev a challenge?

Of course he does...Who doesnt want to be the champ?...Especially after knowing what it feels like.....

If some how by Magic.....Valuev developed a strong jab and a decent 1,,2,,combo he would be amazing......Have the ability to beat almost anyone......

That's what I thought.

Nice to see Valuev back. The novelty has worn off but he adds more interest to the division.

I think Bergeron's been on ESPN 2 at least a couple times. He's not a good fighter.

This should be easy for Valuev. I guess he could win another belt, Sultan's got a belt, and even though Valuev was horrible against Chagaev it wasn't like it was a dominant win. I don't know who the announcers were but i'm pretty sure they actually scored it for Valuev, bad scoring, but it wasn't like it was a shutout or anything.

I think if evander beats sultan he could easilsy fight nicolay and show him up with his supreme boxing and beat him to a UD here.

Valuev is a good fighter conidering his size. He has a good jab and straight right hand so he should be effective against this guy cause hes a southpaw who keeps his hands very low. Valuev will probably stop him. I dont know why people are so critical of Nicolai because hes been competitive with every good heavyweight hes been in with. Ruiz, Donald, Chagaev were all close fights that really could have gone either way. Hes not dominant, but what heavyweight is?, and he has gotten better each fight. He fought one of his best fights against Chagaev i thought.
