Valuev he ain't no joke!

You gotta be kidding. Jameel McCline is a classic underachiever. I've never seen a fighter that size throw such tentative punches. You do realize McCline isn't even in the top ten, right?

He beat Briggs because Briggs was a fatso who hadn't hit bottom yet. Even now Briggs is doing himself a disservice by being too big. You're trying to convince me this is a legit fight based on fighters who beat fighters--ALL THOSE GUYS AREN'T IN THE RING. Clifford Etienne has been a bum for years. Monte Barret won against a Dominick Guinn who USED to have promise.

Nikolai Valuev is the champion NOW. The time is NOW for a CHAMPION to be fighting top ten fighters, not wowing us with his size. Champions should only be fighting elites or other champions. Klitschko is fighting again in March; that could have easily been Valuev in the ring with him. Fighting McCline will prove NOTHING on the road to a Klitschko. Other than height they are absolutely nothing alike. Don King is afraid of losing his champion.

He is trying to break Marciano's 49-0 record and then he will step it up....Maybe

Then it will be a meaningless record.

Maybe but whos gonna know that in twenty years when the record still stands? Can many people name all of Marcianos opponents today? Twenty years from now people will just see the record and think 'WOW he must have been amazing, the best fighter ever' Clearly hes not but you get over 50 wins no losses it looks nice on paper no matter who youre against.

Also it annoys me when people say hes only good because of his size - maybe but so what? Thats like saying someone else is only good because of their speed or their strength, obviously any boxer will want to make use of his best attribute and Valuevs is his size.
