Well that's kind of a poor sample group seeing how Monte Barrett has been KO'd several times and John Ruiz simply refused to fight a power puncher after the David Tua debacle. Nicolay Valuev had never been KO'd and he remains that way after having fought the current WBA title holder and that tells me more about his power than the fights vs Barrett and Ruiz.

Listen, the guy is a title holder and undefeated in the heavyweight division he's a good fighter anything can happen, I'm just of the opinion that Wladimir is good enough to beat him easily. You guys can point to the John Ruiz knockdown all you like but look at how much respect he gave Ruiz...NONE because Ruiz isn't a big time puncher or a combination puncher, that punch was thrown because the fighter in question felt safe enough to throw it.
