I dont think its possible to knock Valuev down, there was a clip I seen somewhere where Valuev was hurt badly and kept taking punches in a fight early in his career but didint go down, I will try to find it and post it on here
very true! one thing that valuev seems to have is very good stamina! if he can make it past 9rds i think that is his best chance to get a victory!Yea, I'm surprised so many people are underestimating Valuev. and giving him very little chances in this fight.
People tend to forget that Wlad gets tired by the later rounds in some fights. He would win most of the rounds in the beginning and middle, but with Valuev's size, he is sure to get tired much faster than ever before. If Valuev is smart, he would capitalize in the later rounds.

Valuev's face is not normal. I don't know whether he could take those punches, and neither does anyone else.
This is not a regular, healthy human specimen, he's a genetic mutation. His head is not even shaped normally. Who knows what his jawbone is like?
He's a result of Chernobyl...
That will be a great fight, but Valuev is just too slow for Wlad. He will eat Wlad's big rights all night long while landing only his jabs.
That fight would be interesting as a real test to Valuev's chin. If it's durable enough, Valuev should be able to carry on trough the fight without being KOed.
Anyway, IMO Wlad wins by KO/TKO inside 7 rds.

I thought Valuev looked pretty good against Liakhovich, but I don't see him having the power to trouble Wlad, nor being quick enough to catch him with anything. He does have a pretty decent jab, especially when he doubles up with it. Val has what seems to be a granite chin and actually doesn't have that bad a defence considering, so I don't see a knockout in this one. I think it would come down to activity, with the edge going to Wlad.
its a shame that don king has partial control over valuev. should valuev get the belt back from chagaev, valuev/klitschko would be the most marketable matchup at heavyweight
assuming wlad wins, what do you think happens in this fight? will it happen? who wins, and how?
wald is just much too quick and accurate for valuev. I think valuev would be stopped with his back against the ropes taking too many punches
Valuev is back with Don King and Wlad will not go near King's fighter. If they do fight, it would be only if Valuev gets his belt back and if King is out of the picture. That said, Valuev vs. Wlad would be a lot more competitive fight than most people think. Wlad cannot tie Valuev up if gets too close because it's like trying to stop a train. Wlad also has no inside game whatsoever, while Valuev has a pretty good uppercut. Add to that the fact that Valuev cannot be knocked down by a human being, and you have a pretty good fight on your hands. Wlad knows that, I don't think he would want to face Valuev.
Wlad by Brutal KO.......At least thats what I'd hope for. Wouldn't it be great to see that huge fucker falling down and landing hard on the canvas???? I think so.
Exactly why I would want to see them fight. Valuev falling down would make a huge noise and it would be a sight to see. The HW division needs some kind of good exposure to the casual fan and a fight between two big guys may catch their attention. I bet Valuev fights Chagaev later in the year and I don't know if we will see Valuev/Wlad.

I want to see this fight.
It would be good for boxing too, it would capture the imaginations of casual boxing fans.
It would be the heavyiest Heavyweight title fight ever. Nearly 600 pounds of athlete in there!
I don't want to see him fight chagaev, chagaev beats him again and he is pretty low key and it wouldnt mean much. Wlad might be able to knock him out, what a sight that would be.
Wlad TKO8
Too much speed and power. Valuev never been hit by a hard puncher. He looks like he can take a good shot but Wlad will hit him with too many good shots and he'll go down.
