My take on Valuev....

1. Yes, he's vastly improved over how he first started out.... a testament to his willingness to work at getting better.

2. Yes, he's champion. It may be one of 27 different boxing organizations with all possible combination of WB__ and IB__, but he's champion.

3. Yes, he's undefeated. Level of opposition aside, the man has not lost professionally.

BUT...... (and sorry Wacko, you had to know this was coming)....... the man outweighs everyone he fights by at least 100 pounds. Now, how is that fair? Tell me, why does every other division in boxing adhere to strict rules about weigh-ins (where even one pound over the limit gets you penalties, and draws crap from the crowd and the press)...... whereas the HW division is open-ended, and you could weigh a TON and still fight mere 200-pounders?

Hey, it's not Valuev's fault he's super-sized. But watching an almost 400-pound man, well over 7 feet tall, pounding on normal heavyweights isn't exactly my idea of sport.

Bring Valuev down to normal HW size, at his skill level...... and he gets KTFO by a handful of today's mediocre heavyweights. Matter of fact, he STILL may get KTFO by either of the Klitschko's.

In summary, I got nothing against the big man. But he should be fighting people his own size.
