you strap on all the unfamiliar weight he has never fought with then consider he's never been hit by a heavyweight. And the fact that he relies on high rate of medium to light punches. It could definitely be trouble. His pitty pat although very effective at his weight and frequently enough to stun opponents would not translate IMO against sasquatch valuev.
where the hell have the medium punches been?
If Holyfield stayed flatfooted I guarantee Valuev wouldn't look quite as retarded as he did. No question Valuev still sucks but Holyfield helped.
No doubt that Valuev is terrible, but he IS a 7'1 300+ LBS heavyweight champion that could still make good fights against anyone at heavyweight and would annihilate any fighter that's blown up in weight and shouldn't be there like Hopkins, Pacquaio( especially) or Calzaghe.
I agree. There were people on here saying that Hopkins, Calzaghe and Pacquaio would beat Valuev, and the bad part about it was that they were serious. Evander is a full heavyweight and a great one at that. Valuev would knock out all of them. Hes just too big.

He should just retire.
He won't fight Chad Dawson cause he's just not that well known and dangerous, and probably won't be for a while even if he keeps winning cause he isn't really that charismatic.. If Pavlik were to blast Abraham out of the ring in impressive fashion however.. I wouldn't be surprised if people immediately forgave him for the B-hop loss and started pushing toward Calzaghe vs Pavlik. Calzaghe Pavlik is still probably one of the most likely scenarios if a fight were to occurr.
Holyfield's movement speed for a modern heavyweight and performance = underrated.

Anyone that thinks he should fight Johnson is delusional.
Why on Earth would he fight a guy with recent losses to Chad Dawson and Clinton Woods.
Clinton Woods of all people.
Why not go all out and fight Sergio Mora?.
He won't fight Johnson IMO. but comparing The Roadwarrior to the LatinSnake suggests you are just looking at the W and L columns and none of the variables inbetween.
wouldn't Calzaghe's movement be even better?

He should try to break or tie Marciano's record. In his last fight he should fight Valuev and see if he can win the heavyweight title.
Calzaghe getting possibly getting Ko'd by Valuev would be hysterical.
I like that answer
