exposed? He was hit as hard during the fight with Barrett and still came out strong. If anything's exposed, its the failure of that video to show the meaningful part of the fight, you know, the part where Valuev wins by decision.
Valuev gets exposed

dude my point is that even the russian commentator talking there says that all of the people there were booing because Valuev had clearly lost the fight and was still given the decision, I think it will be easy for a good technical puncher to beat Valuev. I am a fan of his but after the Ruiz fight I have been loosing my respect for him, he blew out Owen Beck and I was impressed with that fight but he looked like crap again the Barrett fight, I was watching the fight at my house with a couple of my friends and most of them went home after 6th of 7th round just cause it was so boring and Valuev looked like a freak side show in that fight. I think there were very few people who were impressed by this fight.When you're badly hurt, you don't throw and land punches on the opponent.
That clip only shows Valuev has a very strong chin. He ate several shots and continued throwing his own. What did you want him to do, not get rocked at all? Even Chuvalo and Cobb, guys with better chins than anyone alive, were rocked and had their head snapped back by punches.Comment

****! What a shot! Anyway i think theres only a few fighters capable of getting the W over Valuev and that pains me to say that but the division is so weak rite now! But I think Klitschko is definatly 1 of them and i cant wait for the fight to happen so Klitschko can get rid of this big beast!Comment

Valuev's strongest suit might be his size, but he also has some other things going for him, most notably his stamina, impressive for any Heavyweight, let alone a guy his size, and reasonably decent all-round skills.
I mean, the guy actually punches in combinations, as well setting thing up with body shots, & does use a jab to set things up (even if it is a bit of pawing jab most of the time).
I think his stamina will make it a very difficult bout for the younger Klitchko, who'll probably have to take him out by mid-rounds to win, which is a very difficult proposition;
and even for James Toney, who may well pick him apart for the first 6 rounds, but imagine him having a lot of trouble dealing with Valuev's pressure in the last 6.
Valuev's no one-dimensional bum who depends only on his size to win bouts, & any fighter that thinks that is going to get a rude shock.Comment

in the title defences i've seen, no one's ever gone to his body... i mean, the guy's so big, there's so much of him to hit, why not crack that long body
one punch isn't going to do it against him, though, i'd like to see how he handles being swarmed by someone that throws more than just one punch at a time - barret was loading up and throwing these single looping shots.Comment

I have only seen the fight with Monte Barret but has anyone ever tried going to dudes body?? It could be weak..you never know and that mid section is a large target.. You duck under one of those slow swings and counter to his ****ing ribs make him even more slower.. You never know...but I have only seen one of his fights so I dunno how dude handles really. I wasn't impressed when I saw him fight Barret I will say that though!Comment
