Nikolai Valuev: Is He The Real Deal?

[nigel2smooth79]

I seen him fight guy called becks on a dvd last night,and he looked kinda slow but he is huge and that will take him far,but I think when he meets a big puncher with no fear he will be in trouble,if he gets knocked out will be some bang lol...

[p4pking]

Joe Louis and Rocky are the best ever

Ali is third


The reason Rocky's record is so good is because he fought everyone there was to fight whereas VALUEV has fought no one

But there was noone to fight that was as good as people consider his record to be.. Walcott, Charles, and Louis, were plain old. Lastarza was tough, so was Rex Layne, and both of those fights were very very hard for Rocky, some ppl think Lastarza won the first fight. I just don't see the greateness on his record that many seem to.. Look at Walcott and Charles record going into their fight's with Rocky, they had practically been beating the crap out of each other for 5 years prior to it, and both were 40ish, just ancient for a fighter in those days..

Yes Ali was great in his day,But Rocky was the greatest by far! He showed that in his fight against Clubber Lang! And the russian guy in Rocky V. ..........huh........what......................a movie?..........oh sorry......uh.....never mind......

But Rocky never ducked anyone, Rocky fought everyone that was out there and Valuev has not fought ANYONE.

You cannot be blamed for your lack of competition when it's the best out there at the time....Valuev has guys he can fight Don King just steers him away from those guys

[AdamGB]

Just because he never ducked any body it doesn't make him a better boxer than Ali. Personally I think that Ali just had to much Ring smarts for Rocky. We all know that Ali could handle hard punchers and survive a war.

if ali and rocky fought this is what would happen haha

[AdamGB]

Pfffffffffffffffffff... :P

That's from before any one had seen Ali in a war, let alone a computer... Rocky couldn't touch him...

yea i know mate just thought people would wana see it

[AdamGB]

I was considering buying it on DVD, came out over here in January or something.

[ethanpiazza]

valuev CAN be the reral deal, but hes gotta step up the competition. if he beats barret convincingly, then thta would a decent win. but he needs to fight either Wlad, peter, or liakovich before we can say he is for real.

[landmine950]

I want to see him against toney!!! 7' and 345 pounds againts 5 foot nothing and.. well almost as heavy! I still think toney is the man and is just too hard to hit clean.

[Wacko3205]

I like him. He's fun to watch.

I want him to end up being something...I really do.

I want him to prove everyone wrong. I'm even skeptical...in a big way...but I think that if he can box...& he can box...but if he can box effectively against the upper echelon of heavyweights...he's be an asset to the sport.

He'll put a lot of asses in seats.

HMMM parts of that story sound familuar The wrestling...Carnera...Wonder why??

[El Kabong]

Monte Barret hasn't had a fight since he lost to Rahman A YEAR AGO....honestly if I'm Hasim Rahman and I want another belt I go directly to the WBA and start climbing that ladder.

[plinden]

a) He is getting better, b) he seems very hard to rock, c) those who have slugged with him ahve been ko'd, d) he has stamina, reach, weight and now he knows how to use it, e) he cares about it. He could be around for another 10 years.

Carnera? VITALY Kltischko was bigger than Carnera ; carnera was slightly taller than Corrie Sanders; this guy is substantially bigger.
