Plus Valuev likes to club and advance so Wlad may find himself on the back foot for as long as the fight may last.

That being said, unless Wlad fights as a scared and tentative fighter, he should be able to read Valuevs shots and with his (IMO) superior hand speed AND power, should be able to at least keep Valuev at bay.

Ive seen Valuev wobbled by far lesser opponent so i wouldn't be suprised if he was stopped.
Right on the money, skill wise it is no fight...but when Wlad sees a 7' giant in the ring opposite him who knows? I'm not sure if even Manny's psychology can keep Wlad from going into convulsions...Wlad has NVER fought anyone taller than him and that alon could send the fragile psyche of Wlad down the drain...I see it as either a one sided Wlad beat down and KO or I can also see Wlad in the fetal position, sucking his thumb and crying for mommy....This would be a fun fight.
