Seriously if Manny or Floyd fought Nikolay Valuev how would the fight go?

[Dizaster]

If the heavyweight had any brains, they'd charge in and kind of rugby muscle them into the corner and hold them there while they pounded them... They'd surely be able to take a few punches while rushing forward...

But that's assuming heavyweights have brains...

I don't know if any of you have played the rgp game Oblivion?

Well fighting Valuev is just like fighting an ogre on that.

You just circle around them wait for them to do their own attack, a wild club swing, move out of the way and then dart in and land a couple of blows and circle again.

After a couple minutes of this their energy bar goes down to zero and they fall over and die.

I reckon Manny could do it.

Plus its hard to get them in the corner and pound them seeing as you cant hold them. All Valuev can do is try and get in range and then prod out his jab. If he was allowed to pin them up against a wall and squeeze them to death he could win (still have my doubts) but without being able to grab them I don't think it matters how big he is.

He'd never land anything against them and if he got them to the ropes Manny would just duck through his legs, he'd be uncatchable.

But it this way, how often have you gone toe to toe with a fly and lost?

Without the aid of spray or a huge rolled up paper what are you going to do?

Try and kill a fly with just your bare hands as it buzzes around your room.

It's very frustrating indeed!

True good point... I'm sure it would never eventuate, but even a a sparring session where Valuev agrees not to totally knock Manny's head off if he DOES catch him.. But it would surely be interested... I'd have the fight going for 12 rounds, unless the fight lets the heavyweight tackle the little guy into the corner and hold him there while he punches..

Im sure Richard Schaeffer is already on the phone booking that circus for Oscar.. I can see Delahoya billing this as a modern day David and Goliath with a $70ppv

[Spicoli]

He might try to scramble up Valuev's pant leg and hit em in the ol bells a few times....only they seem to be missing at the moment..... so it would be fruitless

I'm suprised someone doesn't fancy the job.

I mean in all seriousness Roy Jones, B Hop, Chad Dawson, Joe Calzaghe, I'd take all four of them to dominate Valuev.

A straight forward banger like Pavlik might have some troubles but a speedy elusive fighter or a defensive wizard like Hopkins would whoop his ass.

[Dizaster]

There is the issue of whether they could reach his head though... Those chest hairs of Valuev would probably come in handy then to climb up while he's preoccupied throwing combo's.

It would an interesting fight surely..

[Myk_Myk]

A little guy might get a TKO, as Valuev quits on his stool from exhaustion, confusion, and frustration!

[CGM]

The little guys would burn to much energy trying to stay out of the way. Eventually they would run out of gas and get clubbed.

[porkypara]

Joe Calzaghe with his fast hands and good footwork would beat Valuev IMO.


The only thing going for him is size.


The sooner Haye sorts out the HW division the better.

This remind me of the who would win in a fight? a Ninja or a Knight? 50/50?
Idk it would have to happen.
Personally id like to see Mayweather or Pacman go flying across the ring KOed by Valuev!

See that would be a great matchup, what arms would they be carrying? I guess a broadsword for the knight and nunchcuks and throwing stars for the ninja?

I think the knight attacks early but if the ninja can get behind the knight he takes him to the ground, forces open the little window box and stabs out his eyes to win by fatality.
