    Do you think Valuev would knock out Hopkins, Calzaghe, Adamek, Ward, even Floyd or Mosely if they were as negative as Haye?
    Making a statement like that is missing the point. You cannot win the fight with running only. You are saying that Haye -only- ran the whole time and sorry but that is false. If that were true, he couldnt win. But he did win. 2 of 3 judges called it and the 3rd called a draw. And the punches that Haye threw were not weak. Valuev simply has a solid chin. That is why no one has KO'd him at all. I repeat, saying that Haye only ran for 12 rounds is false. He ran, but he hit as well, and obviously he hit enough to convince for a win -In Germany- I am only stating the obvious, or so I thought.
    The point is that Haye didn't beat Valuev any better than John Ruiz, Evander Holyfield or Larry Donald did, to say nothing of Chagaev who actually got the decision against him.

    In those earlier fights even though Valuev clearly lost he held on to his title because he was seen as more marketable than Ruiz, an ancient Holyfield or Larry Donald.

    Haye however is the new cash cow and even though he turned in a performance that would have been insufficient had another boxer performed the same, he got the decision as he's the new market friendly boxer in the heavyweight division.

    Do you really think Haye performed any better Ruiz, Chagaev, Holyfield and Donald?

    He didn't, I'd say his performance was actually the poorest of the five but he's getting talked up now as if he did a great thing.

    There are probably 20 heavyweights who could beat Valuev better than Haye did, and all of the fighters I mentioned before could cope with him comfortably, maybe not be aggressive enough to win, but they would survive without incident.

    Valuev is the least threatening heavyweight champ in years, which other world champ has had such a poor ko ratio as Valuev against second rate opposition?

    He should 5 losses on his record that we know of. It wouldn't suprise me at all if he has gotten gifts throughout his career.

    Beating him like Haye did was a disappointing performance, imo he looked worse than Ruiz, Holyfield, Donald and Chagaev before him. Not impressed at all.
    so........ I decided to go back and watch the fight in which Valuev was beaten best, by your description (vs Chagaev) The fight was more exciting but I noticed a few interesting things:

    -1 judge gave a draw and the other 2 went for Chagaev.. interesting, sounds familiar

    -There were more punches thrown -And- more punches landed on each other by both fighters

    Basically Chagaev took more risk and therefore got the praise, but also the extra punishment from standing and trading with Valuev, which for that fight was actually acceptable -but-

    Fast forward to Chagaev's fight with Wladimir. In that fight, standing his ground caused Chagaev to take more punishment than he could handle and lead quickly to Wladimir bringing the fight to an early end.

    Imagine for a moment if Chagaev had practiced the technique that Haye used on Valuev -being highly mobile-

    While many people think this is cowardly, just imagine if Chagaev could actually move fast and slip in a nice hard hit on Wladimir. His chances would have been way better to daze Wlad for a moment and the maybe take advantage of it.

    What Haye did against Valuev could potentially be used to actually give a chance to get a solid shot in on Wladimir. See where I'm going with this?

    The ONLY reason Haye and Evander were able to keep out of range of Valuev is because he so fucking slow!

    I'd love to see Haye try that negativity with Wlad or Vitali, he'll just look like a scared fool.

    They arn't going to plod and lumber cluelessly around the ring like Valuev did.

    If Haye tries to box against Wlad or Vitali like he did against Valuev he has NO chance.

    I disagree with you there. I'm saying that to have a chance against Wlad, one must be evasive in some form or another and not stand right in fornt of him and take jabs all night long. Someone who will at least try to be evasive, well thats a start. How else do you think -anybody- is ever going to have a chance against Wladimir?? Or are you saying that it is impossible?

    I'm trying to paint evasiveness as a positive whereas you only view it as a negative or something which is only effective against a low grade fighter.
