Klitschko's want the Giant....

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3679577 CHENG DU, China -- The Klitschko brothers, who hold four of the world's five heavyweight boxing titles, have challenged giant Russian Nikolai Valuev to a showdown for his WBA title. It will be a difficult fight, but we have a dream, and we are going to make it come true, by taking the last belt for the Klitschko family. Vitali, who last month came out of retirement to defeat Samuel Peter for the WBC crown and together with younger brother Wladimir, become the first siblings to simultaneously hold world heavyweight belts, issued the challenge Monday. "Valuev is the biggest heavyweight champion in history. He's huge and dangerous, this won't be easy and I don't want to underestimate him," the Ukrainian said of the 7-foot champion at the WBC's annual convention. "It will be a difficult fight, but we have a dream, and we are going to make it come true, by taking the last belt for the Klitschko family." Vitali, having long ruled out a potential unification bout between brothers, added it did not matter whether he or IBF, IBO and WBO champion Wladimir took on the intimidating Russian. " won't amount to a dispute between close brothers," he said. "My message to Valuev is that this isn't about size, but internal quality, so let's see who's the strongest and the best. Why not Kiev, Moscow or London? We'd have to do this in a stadium which holds thirty or forty thousand people or more."

Would it look something like this? Julius Long chopped down like a tree in kickboxing. 6 feet Samoan vs 7'2 Korean in kickboxing.

I think it would look like it did when Mike White was dropped by Michael Moorer. I only saw the clip though, and I see that it lasted the decision, so he must've gotten up. But yeah, I think Wlad is more likely to lay out Valuev for a ten count. If Vitali wins, it'd be a longer, drawn out beating where he surrenders on his stool or is stopped on his feet. Here's the knockdown: 0:50 I think Mike White was 6'10 while Moorer was 6'2. Tye Fields vs Monte Barrett Julius Long

Valuev falling down like John Tate did against Mike Weaver in the 15th round would possibly be the greatest KO of all time. Wladimir, if he would fight aggressively, has the best chance of KO'ing the Russian Giant with his right hand. But I doubt he would take any unnecessary risks with his current style of fighting.

I would love to see Valuev get KO'd. Not a corner stoppage or cuts or anything, I want to see him to fall to the canvas for a 10 count. I would prefer it to come from the hands of a smaller heavyweight. Then again, even the Klitschkos look small compared to that giant hairy ogre.

I can see Vitali stopping Valuev but only on his feet.

I just cant take Valuev seriously. I hate watching fights with some strangely awkwardly huge opponent fights a normal guy, its horrible to watch usually. Funny/strange thing is Valuev has the same reach as P Williams so maybe they should fight! :lol1:
