I guess he never heard of 5'10'' Mike Tyson..I have never seen such a ****** thread ever!! You think big guys should not be allowed to box?? I bet you are a small midget yourself!!
Seriously, size allone dont win you fights. Valuev lost to chagaev whos only 185cm, and he also got gift decisions against Donald and Ruiz.
I just thing this is a bull**** thread!! If the guys are to small for heavyweight they should lose weight and fight at cruiser. But guys like Byrd or Chambers are natural cruisers but fight at heavyweight and especially Byrd had some verry good wins even though hes so small, so size means nothing.Comment

Yes but he fought bum after bum in his first 40 fights. Byrd could have done that too if he faced this opponents. In fact, a prime Byrd who faced all opponents that Valuev faced until today would still be unbeaten!Comment

Boxing is not just about the Sugar Ray's out there. Marciano was not much short of a brute in his day (49-0 [43KO]) similar to Valuev, knocking out almost everyone he fought. I dont see your point.Comment

a lot of heavyweights fight bums and journey mans.
how can you say he fought bums?
so your attributing his winning record because he fought bums, not because of his size??Comment

What would Valuev do to a prime Tyson? He would never hit him!! Tyson would win a UD or knock Valuev out late. Tyson vs. Wlad would be more difficult but i would still pick Tyson to win. Tysons combination of power AND speed is legendary.Comment

Of course!! Had he any quality opponent in his first 40 fights?? So YES, his winning record has nothing to do with his size but with the OPPOSITION he had!! Dont you get that into your brain or what?Last edited by Tobi.G; 02-22-2008, 07:47 AM.Comment
