    Anyone that thinks he should fight Johnson is delusional.

    Why on Earth would he fight a guy with recent losses to Chad Dawson and Clinton Woods.

    Clinton Woods of all people.

    Why not go all out and fight Sergio Mora?.

      If he doesn't fight Dawson, he should retire, although I wouldn't mind seeing a Johnson fight.

        you strap on all the unfamiliar weight he has never fought with then consider he's never been hit by a heavyweight. And the fact that he relies on high rate of medium to light punches. It could definitely be trouble. His pitty pat although very effective at his weight and frequently enough to stun opponents would not translate IMO against sasquatch valuev.

          He won't fight Johnson IMO. but comparing The Roadwarrior to the LatinSnake suggests you are just looking at the W and L columns and none of the variables inbetween.

            I was taking the piss, but he has a recent loss and a draw with Clinton Woods!.

                I agree. There were people on here saying that Hopkins, Calzaghe and Pacquaio would beat Valuev, and the bad part about it was that they were serious. Evander is a full heavyweight and a great one at that. Valuev would knock out all of them. Hes just too big.

                  He won't fight Chad Dawson cause he's just not that well known and dangerous, and probably won't be for a while even if he keeps winning cause he isn't really that charismatic.. If Pavlik were to blast Abraham out of the ring in impressive fashion however.. I wouldn't be surprised if people immediately forgave him for the B-hop loss and started pushing toward Calzaghe vs Pavlik. Calzaghe Pavlik is still probably one of the most likely scenarios if a fight were to occurr.

                    If Holyfield stayed flatfooted I guarantee Valuev wouldn't look quite as ******ed as he did. No question Valuev still sucks but Holyfield helped.

                      Perhaps Chad Dawson would be the best choice for his legacy.

                      It has to be someone American, black, and prime, in order for Joe to get any credit or recognition whatsoever in the US. Who else is there?

                      The only problem is, the Calzaghe haters will say Dawson is a bum after he loses to Joe.
