No, it's not Valuev's fault that the quality of his opposition has been "less than stellar."
And yes, Valuev deserves credit for working hard at getting better inside the ring.
But for MY money....... I'd rather not watch a guy who outweighs everyone he fights by 100 pounds and stands almost a foot taller. Just like I think it'd be unfair to throw Arturo Gatti in against Bernard Hopkins (nobody get a stroke..... I'm not comparing Valuev to Hopkins, people).
So I'll say it again. It's fighters like Valuev that confirm my opinion that the heavyweight division shouldn't be open-ended.
As usual Tito has something wise to say!
I do not disagree!
I think the divisions need a re-alignment
As an example
mid 160
super mid 168
Lt hvy 175??
it goes up 8 pounds and then only up 7??
dumb!
for sure we need cruiser and super cruiser then hw and super heavy
maybe at 100kg? 220.5 lbs?
not right for a guy above cruiser 190 to go against a guy 250+
just not right!
I thought that cruiser was 200 and under.
