Last week, the 29-year-old (22-1, 21 KOs) once again insulted the biggest and tallest champion of all time at a press conference in England. Valuev barely took any notice – he gave up caring about his opponent a long time ago. “I don’t really care about what he says or does,” Valuev stated. “I cannot take him seriously. When I first heard about the t-shirts where he chopped the Klitschkos, I thought ‘Oh my God, another idiot in our world.’ He can say whatever he likes – it will not get him my title.”

Kalle Sauerland, Valuev´s promoter, found clearer words. “Haye’s behaviour is very strange and not normal at all. I think one German phrase sums it up well: ‘1,000 volts, but no light’.”

Valuev will soon wrap up his preparation in Kienbaum to then continue with sparring in Berlin´s famous Max Schmeling Gym. “Everything has been going very well thus far,” the Russian Giant added. “I will be in perfect shape on November 7. Let’s see what Haye has to say after our meeting in the ring – I doubt it will be much.”

So it looks like he is taking Haye seriously then. I mean he says he's going to be in PERFECT shape for Haye!!! That means he must be training this time. Don't think he's ever done that before! I think he'll look strange with a six pack and a tight body personally can't wait to see it though.
You won't be able to tell if he has a six-pack because of his sasquatch body hair

I really hope Valuev is training, he has relied on his size for everything thus far, Haye could end up having an easy night if he paces himself. I mean really all Haye has to do is knock him down once and Valuev will not get up.

If Valuev could do nothing but 1-2's for 12 rounds with his reach would be a massive improvement.
