Who else could replicate Haye's performance?

[Kev]

Out of interest I'm wondering how many other guys below heavyweight we think could have done just as effective a job against Valuev as Haye did?

Below is my list of fighters who I think would all beat Valuev.

Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones ( prime wins easy, current Roy still wins)
James Toney (prime, prob even now)
Chad Dawson
Joe Calzaghe
Artur Abraham
Mikkell Kessler
Paul Williams
Thomas Adamek
Andre Ward

Fighters who would go 12 rounds but may not win the decision.

Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquaio
Shane Mosely
Ivan Calderon

I'm not even joking or being sarcastic here.

How in the world would Valuev ever catch up with Ivan Calderon? He'd never get close.

I don't think Valuev would stop ANY of those inside the distance and all of the fighters in the top list would beat him imo.

Haye's win is just no big deal, Valuev is just fucking awful.

Anyone disagree?

i made a thread YEARS ago to fuck around that ivan calderon could beat valuev

This thread has some real entertainment potential.

I think the answer we're looking for is Linford Christie.

All he's good for.

Bernard Hopkins - A fighter with his style getting a decision in germany?? No chance
Roy Jones ( prime wins easy, current Roy still wins) - prime valuev is simply too big and jabs his way to a decision. Now the exact same thing
James Toney (prime, prob even now) - Not even on his complete day, valuev is too big and too awkward
Chad Dawson - Potentially if he had gone through the cruisers, heavys in the right way. dont see why not
Joe Calzaghe - He`s a skinny 175pounder, how the hell does he make it to heavyweight let alone win a world title
Artur Abraham - Your taking the piss now right??
Mikkell Kessler - Too small, his style suits him to a tea at SM
Paul Williams - Even for a 6foot 2 former welterweight it would be step ladder time. How the hell would PW be able to retain his slick style 50pounds heavier??
Thomas Adamek - Along with dawson potentially. Need to see him in with genuine competition at heavy. And he needs bulking up muscle
Andre Ward - Watch how he struggle with a guy at 168 and gets KO`d. then come back and tell me he beats a 325pounder


nice try at fishing bilbo, elterrible and demise will love you for this!!

I'm not fishing, honestly I would put money on all of those guys doing the same job Haye did. Whether Hopkins would get a decision in Germany is irelevent, I'm talking about replicating the performance that Haye put on. Hopkins, even in his 40's would be just as confortable against Valuev as Haye was.

So how many of those above do you think Valuev would knock out?

Explain to me how he would hit them on the basis of his last two fights with Evander and Haye?

All of the fighters I mentioned would easily be able to stay away for 12 rounds and come in with the occasional punch.

I honestly can't see a gameplan for Valuev that stops any of them. Virtually all those fights would go 12 rounds and be a toss up as to who would win.

Haye did nothing special at all. He fought a terrible guy who happened to be huge at the expense of mobility. And he just kept away. Big deal.

Usain Bolt could go 12 rounds with Valuev.

I don't know who that is.

Valuev is far to young to even be considered an opponent for Joe Calzaghe

Im with you on this one LOL Perhaps Calzaghe may think he can beat Haye and come out of retirement so we can see him get his head weaved in to the canvas
