IMO there are just as many question marks hanging around Wlad as there are around Valuev! and Valuev is (hopefully) going to erase some of them Saturday against McCline.
There are MORE questions surrounding Valuev simply because he has not fought ANYONE dangerous

You poo-poo those 2 wins over Chris Byrd yet who the hell did Valuev fight last?

-A guy who hadn't fought in a year
-A guy with no punching power 31 wins 17 KO's
-A guy who had been previously KO'd by Wladimir Klitschko in 7 rounds
-A guy who lost decisions to Joe Mesi and Lance Whittaker
-A guy who is lazy in the ring

A guy named Monte Barrett and this guy not only stood in with your giant for 11 rounds but STAGGERED Valuev in the first round!!!!!

What does that tell you abolut Valuev?

1. He's got a record FULL of bums
2. He hasn't truly WON all his fights
3. He's fighting another bum with no power, in Jameel McCline
4. He's never fought a power puncher
5. He's had 2 fights in the US
6. He's had ONE HBO fight
7. He's not fought a "mandatory opponent" in the 3 fights since "winning" the WBA title
8. He rabbit punches
9. He has no power, 45 wins 33 KO's
10. 21 opponents out of his 45 fights have had less than 10 fights

You are who you beat....and that makes Valuev a big BUM
