Yes James Toney the one haters refer to as JFAT and break his stones about being a Lazy Supermiddle who moved to Heavy because he prefered the dinner table over roadwork.Guess what the Blown up Toney has a better Chin and composure than Wlad....

I think this is a real bad matchup for Wlad because of his size... Wlad is a tall heavy by normal standards and enjoys those advantages along with holding and leaning on his opponents . But he is not athletic enough or small enough to bob and weave and duck out of the way of Valuevs punches... The reach height and weight difference will still be dramatic in Valuevs favor and again Nic will be doing all the leaning on Wlad and well carrying your own weight at about 240 coupled with a over 300lb man adds more suseptiblity to a person who already has a history of stamina is alarming IMO

This is far from a walk in the park for Klitschko, especially seeing Wlad will be the most stationary and broad target Valuev has ever faced...I would personally be a little concerned if I was a Klitschko fan
Good points.

The only point that I don't agree with is high lighted...nothing about Wlad screams stationary.

Nothing.

Peter was on the attack the entire time of the Klit fight & was there to make a statement via knockout. Wlad was there to make the same statement...but more to prove that he wasn't going to be knocked out.

Wlad should pretty much dismantle Valuev. He'll be the largest opponent that Valuev has ever seen & the heaviest handed one.

Wlad by TKO.
