Valuev: "An Honor To Break Marciano's Record"

[The Final Word]

what a shame, the great rocky marciano's record will be broken by a gorrila who fought bums

And ditto for the welsh girl. European fighters are in an entire second class tier and should be counted as journeyman unless they prove themselves like Lennox Lewis.

That's obviously not true...Wlad is the best heavyweight right now. There's a LOT of "tier 1" European boxers: Kessler, Mormeck, Hatton, and Povetkin for example. Did you see Mormeck's fight with Bell?

Best heavyweight: Wlad
Best cruiserweight: Mormeck
Best super-middleweight: Kessler
Best light welterweight: Hatton

Olympic gold medal winner (2004) and future heavyweight champion: Povetkin.

I generally consider russians in a class by themselves and they would argue with being called europeans. They are slavic and are geographically in europe and asia. They're tough bastards and train hard.

I'll give you hatton. He gives a good show and fights wars. Kessler is interesting but he also has accomplished little of note.

Lewis was the last great euro fighter. I actually wish he'd come out of retirement.

Yup, I second that.

and I third that

As much as i hate Valuev, he is a very nice guy.

What record is Valuev talking about? Going 49-0? Julio Cesar Chavez went like 90-0 before his first loss...

why does that make him sound ******? russians are most certainly not to be classified as european..... if they are than so are turks, egyptians and mongolians

Of course Russians are Europeans!

Eastern Europeans are still Europeans. The Slavic, Germanic, Celtic, and Baltic languages are all related, they're all considered European languages.

Russia and the Ukraine are part of Europe. The Russian empire extended into much of Asia, but the Russians themselves are European.
