===========================
You really don't know what you're talking of. Let's just mention 6'9" all pro defensive linemen TooTall Jones and Ernie Ladd for starters. 330 lb Ladd almost landed a bout with a prime Ali and TooTall compiled a perfect 6-0 record with 5 KOs before returning to all pro status on the cowboys.
Will a guy as big as Valuev ever be able to beat the top heavyweights, or is it the case that once you get to that size you're just too slow and cumbersome and are inevitably gonna just be a big target?
In football you never see effective players over about 6'6" - maybe in boxing we'll just never see top guys bigger than 6'8"...
A world title fight: John Ruiz vs. Nicolai Valuev most likely it will take place in Germany. Who's looking forward to this crap? I bet this won't even be on US TV.
I thought it was a robbery.
It had nothing to do with Donald being black though as someone mentioned. That doesnt matter. All that matters is that the homeboy wins. And they gave it to him.
If Donald had a puch or worked the body a little more he might have knoced him out. I had 8 rounds scored for Donald and 1 draw.
Its a shame these decisions still happen. Germany as a boxing nation does have potential. They have for euro standards pretty good boxers and boxing is very popular over there.
Live boxing events are shown on 2 open channels and the ratings are good.
So the chances of Ruiz winning are pretty high then?
not really. donald is much more skilled and quicker than ruiz. although he's achieved less. ruiz will actually be a better style match up for valuev over donald. ruiz doesnt have the quick jab and combination punching of donald. either way tho,,,,valuev will never beat the klits or any other of the champions
yes, and donald did school him. landed alot of good shots, nothing that dazed valuev or anything like that, but his brain obviously oscillated off of a few of those blows. donald would counter valuev's jab with a jab or straight right, and land both punches most of the time. valuev never landed anything that significant in the fight
fucking euro judges...i like donald
wow,,,that valuev must be a real bum. lol,,he had an almost 100 lb weight advantage and still couldnt win legitimately. vitali dominated and stopped donald,,, knocking down 3 times. he would have chopped the big kook down like a tree
Atleast DLH threw more than one punch at a time...Donald threw and landed nothing but combinations and LANDED them....Valuev threw a punch 6 inches away and missed and still got the round..Come on, this is far worst than DLH vs Sturm...This fight wasnt even competitive or close to be controversial...Donald was the clear winner by an easy 8 rounds or more...Hell I would give it a shutout.
The way I see it, the judges are either paid under the table or not. In case they are, it doesn't matter how competitive the fight was or who landed what. I haven't seen the fight but from what I read about it, the judges were paid. Can somebody say "Don King"? He needs to sell Ruiz fight in Germany, plain and simple. Because nobody will pay to see the Huggy Bear in States any more.
The worst decision I have ever seen came from the U.S.
Oscar v.s. Shane 2

The worst dec in Europe for me has to be Robin Reid Vs Sven Oktte ( or whatever its spelt ). i have never seen such one sided refereeing. The ref should be shot!
Remember Sturm vs. De La Hoya? That fight was no better scored.

DONALD WAS ROBBED...Valuev DID nothing...Everytime Valuev would come in Donald would blast combinations to the body to back him up and the judges scored the fight for Valuev...How???...I shit on foreigners and their damn judging..
Remember Sturm vs. De La Hoya? That fight was no better scored.
Ruiz will win defnitely, even without hugging.
I think that's why Don King is happy.
He can also sell Ruiz-Valuev very well in Europe.
Europe is the only place where he can sell Ruiz.
I think you are 100% right. Nobody will pay to see Ruiz fight in US anymore. A lot of people in Germany will pay to see Valuev fight for a belt. It's nothing but a money thing really.
Exactly, I just recall Golota-Byrd and Golota-Ruiz and Byrd-Oquendo fights -- all championship fights -- that were poorly judged.
dont forget hopkins/taylor.
it's not the nationality of the judges, it's the fact that the judges were present at the euro fight...and we all know how it happens when a euro hometown hero has a fight against a black journeyman in europe..nuff said..
Las Vegas is 3242342x worse than Euro when it comes to judging.
The fact remains that one judge had it by like 4 or 5 rounds for Valuev...How??? It was clear that Valuev didnt win the fight AT ALL...He plodded around and hugged and threw one job at a time while Donald was barely getting touched and mustering up 4-5 and even 6 punch combos that landed across his body and face...
