    Hmmm... why do I think Valuev must have been a lousy interview in any language, when for all I know the man played blindfold chess?

      Well, like his friend the Great Greco-Roman wrestler Alexander Karelin, he is a Govenment official nowadays.

        - - More noted for his runaway kids show and his brief post retirement surgery stint of hunting for BigFoot.

        Read a great interview, translated where he's very intelligent, well spoken and plainly without ego. Would've been a blast to meet up close.

        Biggest guy I ever saw up close was Ernie Ladd, 6-9, 325 lb having to duck and slide sideways through the Houston Oiler ticket office entrance to pick up his complimentary tickets for friends and family. My best HS Buddy was with me 6-4, 200 lb looked like toy next to him. He was not a handsome man, but dressed in slacks and form fitting Banlon sport shirt tucked in, he would've sent Adonis scurrying off in shame.

            - - Ernie took up 'rasslin like many retired out of shape football linemen with bad knees. In his prime he was an Ali candidate along with Wilt, but Cus weren't training Ernie like he was Wilt.

            Andre was a two linemen composite freak of nature, maybe the only Giant ever popular with the people though Niko seems very popular with Russian kids.

              Gotta give Ladd credit for playing along. Tough way to make a living.

                  It was not Bobby's first offense, I understand. He is now a checker in a grocery store and claims to be content. Pray for anyone who thinks they could take the checker in a fight.

                    Yea, imagine some arrogant customer getting in over his head before he realizes who the 'boy' bagging his groceries is.

                      The customer might as well be playing heads up poker with Doyle Brunson. Pros in anything can easily handle nobodies.
