Never have the terms "unstoppable force" and "immovable object" come together so perfectly to describe a Heavyweight champion (always in memory) of our era. He's simply huge and because of this can literally only move forward in one directtion with very direct and honest approach to his opponent. Because of this constant stomping forward, the ring generalship department of scoring fights is always in his favor. One time back when he fought Jameel McCline, in the time it took Valuev to take one monstrous step straight ahead, McCline had shuffled his feet over a dozen times whilst throwing only 2 punches. It was a crude attempt to distract an eye less keen then mine on what the sport actually was. Because of all McCline's excessive foot movements, I had him down 6 points entering the 3rd round and all his negativity was only costing him more in the third before his knee exploded out of it's socket. It had been fooled into thinking it was entering a fight but McCline seemed not to want to use his fists. His knees couldn't handle it. Don't tell me that wasn't an impressive victory.
McCline was a monster-man himself and even he costs himself the fight with his feet. Calzaghe is much to small of a man to beat Valuev! Could you imagine how much more negative he would have to be?!?!
I think if Valuev can throw like 19 punches in all these fights combined it should be enough for him to win every round.
