Wlad should be able to win by a decision. This is a guy who was outboxed by a 38 year old Larry Donald. Valuev is way too slow...
I think Valuev can beat Wlady

The problem is, Wlad is not trowing power shots as he used to. To KO Valuev, you have to punish him for 10 rounds to even have a remote possibility to knock him down. Wlad threw what, 30 power shots in his last 3 fights?the big man has very good cardio, and a good jab which can do well for him in this fight, but one thing i wonder is how will he stand up to power shots? have not seen him really tested in that dept. he could be huge problems for wlad! Literally!!!!!!!!
that being said i think wlad wins!Comment

I think it might be almost physically impossible to KO Valuev. The guy's skull is huge and the way his forehead slopes back I think there's 3 inches of protection for his brain at least. It would certainly be a much more interesting fight than this weekend's and Val looked pretty darn good against Liakhovic. I just don't think he has the power to worry Wlad and we'd see the full offense from Wlad, enough to win a comfortable decision.Comment

Of all the hw in the division now, I think Valuev has the best chance to beat him and also is the biggest fight out there for him. This fight could easily sell out a huge soccer arena in Germany and has the makings of a 'hw super fight.'..
In his last bout, Valuev looked very sharp albeit against a uninspired Sergie Liakhovich. His jab was quicker, crisper and more accurate and his combinations seem to be improving as well. Couple that with the fact that Valuev seems to be very motivated, is always in peek shape, and has his famous 'iron chin,' I think he gives Wlad all that he can handle...
However, Wlad is very experienced, has more power, and has a much better technique than Valuev. Also, I think Wlad does much better fighting orthodox fighters than he does with southpaws...
In any event, this fight for me, is the one that I most want to see. I think Valuev poses a huge challenge and makes this a great fight...Comment

As long as Wladimir doesn't get any funny ideas about stopping Valuev which I don't think he will, Wladimir will win easily by a lopsided decision.
Valuev is the one who only depends on his size to 'outbox' his opponents. Valuev has great cardio for a huge man but not much else, he can stick the jab out there but it's slow and his right hands are atrocious when compared to Wladimir's.
The only way Klitschko can lose this is if he runs out of gas or gets hit by one of Valuev's slow-motion haymakers. I doubt he will but it'd be good to see.Comment
