Yea I know. That's kind of why I'm interested in this fight, he has apparently improved in his last 2 fights.. I saw him do some decent work against Ruiz, and he hammered Beck out of there, although he's nobody.. He certainly looked bad against Larry Donald though, if he can keep improving he could definetly have a shot to beat anyone, imo. Wlad would probably kill him, but at the same time he is so F****** huge and seems to take a great punch.. He would have as good a chance as anyonen to beat Wlad by wearing him out.
with that said, another one of his problems is that he does "take punches" too frequently and to the head as well.
Valuev is tall enough to where he should rarely be getting hit in the face.
