Wooh! I didn't realize that Rocky Balboa is as big as Valuev.

It's an uphill battle for Chagaev, who is 6' tall at BEST, maybe only 5'11". He's not the 6'1" he's advertised as IMO.
If he does win, it's by finding a way to the body, consistently, and not getting nailed on the way in. He needs to attack that body with the hardest punches he's capable of, and moving out of range of the Valuev uppercut, which is usually a giant's favorite method of exterminating those pesky infighting midgets.
If he can weaken Valuev's body, bring the guard down, he can throw upstairs and test that chin of his.
It's not likely though. I think Valuev will fight smart and take him out late, or win by decision.Comment

Even if Valuev removes every technical flaw from his style, he will still have a long list of limitations, not the least of which is speed or rather lack of it. Just because Barrett and Beck just stood there and got hit does not mean that Chagaev has to do the same thing. Valuev is vulnerable and it doesn't take a lot of talent to exploit his weaknesses. Chagaev has enough ability, the question is does he have enough ambition?
Excellent post, Tater. Have some K.Comment

Chagaev isn't a great boxer, but then you don't have to be great these days to be ranked in the top ten. He is good enough make his presence known in a weak division. As a matter of fact he does a few things right as is demonstrated in the video:

He has 2 chances of beating the great russian giant....slim and none!
He couldn't beat Valuev if he brought a bat into the ring!
Valuev will break marcianos record! And go on to become the greatest fighter of all time...(well maybe i'm exagerating a bit)Comment
