    i know he was knocked out by davarryl williamson?? did you see it?? does mollo always come out firing?? or did he just know how easily mcbride would fold?
    I haven't seen Mollo outside of the fights you mentioned. But I do think that he probably knew McBride to be an easy mark.

    Valuev is not as bad as some make out, but not nearly as good or effective as others believe.

    Will him reaching or surpassing Marciano's record really matter since everyone knows the weakness of the division?

      If u get beat by TOS I dont think you can do much

        He's got the size alright....

          I think this will be Valuevs toughest defense and there is a good chance he could lose.. I am sure McLine is of better quality then Beck and Barrett.. I just dont know what to think about Valuev.. this fight should help with that...

            If Barrett somewhat stunt Valuev in the first.. I don't see McCline doing even that... McCline is a slow fighter.. and he will be out of Valuev's reach...

            It's the smaller, faster fighters that would give Valuev some trouble.. until they get cought... but to beat Valuev, you need to be a top fighter with a good chin, speed, foot work and skill..

            Other than Wlad, maybe Ibragimov, and Brock.. I honestly don't see anyone esle stopping him at this point... He is just too big and the rest of the crowd just doesn't have what it takes to beat him...

            TOS would have a chance too

            Some don't have the skill, some don't have the size, some speed.. etc

            McCline goes down in 6

              In my opinion, the only thing Mccline is missing is heart....in comparision to Valuev, Mccline has much better skills but when he gets tagged he folds....the only thing up in the air is whether Mccline realizes this is his last shot or not and fights accordingly....if so i pick Mccline by UD 12

                he def has a chance as hes better than barret and he even rocked valuev and won some rounds. valuev is realy a terrible hw, he will lose again as soon as he faces anyone good as he did to donald.

                  Hmm, and I keep thinking that Valuev is undefeated

                      What I don't understand, is why in the hell do they have this fight in Switzerland???????
                      After King brought Valuev to USA and promoted the hell out of him, he goes back to Europe. Some things just don't make sense.

                      This will be the toughest fight in Valuev's career. So far he faced either small opponents who had speed but not enough power or big bums who had power but couldn't use it against Valuev. McCline has both, although limited. I want to see him against Chagaev though, that should be interesting.
