Valuev was trying not to hurt Holyfield

[werewolf]

I don't get this topic, even if there was truth to this topic. He still lost the fight... And Holyfield showed great lateral movement, so i think its wrong to spread rumors like topics like these.

Why is it wrong? It's my observation, that's all. Take it or leave it. Holyfield had nice lateral movement, but aside from that he looked harmless, like a heavy bag with lateral movement.

I don't think V looked anywhere near as pathetic as he did last night vs. Chagaev and Ruiz. I need to rewatch those fights, if I can find them someplace.

He was deliberately not fighting. He's no Klitschko, but he's no helpless schmuck either. Look at his previous fights on Youtube and compare it with what he was doing the other night. He wasn't even making a show of trying - and Holyfield looked about as non-threatening as heavy bag. And yet, at the end, Valuev seemed to be anticipating the win. Something very funny about that so-called fight. And now they want a freakin' rematch? Lord hab mercy!

If that's the case... he did a grea job. He barely touched him.

Probably the worst heavyweight title fight in history...and now they want to inflict a rematch on us!?

It's true, he looked like he didn't even want to fight him. He went to wars with Ruiz 2 times and suddenly he didn't wanted to throw a punch to Holyfield? But it was rigged nonetheless.

Wow. What does it feel like to be so blatantly White Power?

Valuev couldn't deal with the movement. Nothing is fishy. Valuev is mediocre at best and he's downright helpless against an agile heavy.

Even Tunney recognizes the poster as a white supremacist so take what he says with a very small grain of salt.

I read an article on boxingscene a month ago that quoted Valuev saying "he didn't want to KO Holyfield out of respect for him and just wanted to outbox him." And I say to this: If you don't want to hurt a particular fighter, then don't sign up to fight him in the first place!...
