    Funny how the only people who voted for Valuev are the psychotic and sad Klitschko fans. Guess they need to support their white fighter.

    Oh, and Hopkins would humiliate Valuev.

      This fight would have to be in the US cos Hopkins has pretty much no chance in germany, even though I don't think Valuev-Holyfield was a robbery, I had it for Holyfield by a couple of rounds. Hopkins would just need to be busier than Holyfield was and he would win a decision although I would question whether he could be much busier at his age with having to put on the extra weight for this bout also.

      Still Valuev is garbage so I would have to go with Hopkins via Decision.

        You also have to factor in reach and height.

        Kelly and Bernard both have a 75" reach.

        But Kelly is the taller man, at nearly 6'3", where Bernard is 6'1".

        Kelly's shoulders are also much broader than Hopkins', which means he likely won't be at 160 for very much longer.

        And once he starts fighting and winning at 168 or 175, this whole "moving up" **** will be debunked, at least, when it comes to Kelly/'Nard.

        In general, fight fans make too much out of a difference of a few pounds.

        Winky and Oscar, yeah, I can see that.

        But Pavlik was at 170lbs, just 4lbs north of where he beat Taylor in the remach at a catchweight of 166.

        plus you have to factor in the white boy factor


        lol....j/k

          valuev by KO.

          valeuv is underrated now because of his **** performance against holyfield. he didnt want to fight him and it showed during the fight.

            Not a draw.

            A darw.

            What's a "darw" you ask?

            It's what Valuev says to himself after B-Hop UD's his ugly ass.

            Even with the size disadvantage, I'd say a decision by Hopkins.

He would never get in the ring with a big monster like Valiev. Hopkins dosen't even want to get in the ring with the bigger, stronger Tomasz Adamek, he gave him a horrible low ball offer because he never wanted to fight him.

              either has valuev. 2 cheaters.

                Guys come on. Holyfield beat Valuev clearly, and had him confused with movement and angles, and Hokyfield has never been known for movement or angles, and is completely shot to ****. Hopkins would only have to throw 20 punches a round land 95 percent of them and tip toe out of the way to avoid the slow ass Zangief. I honestly think it would be ridiculously easy.

                  What about all of his **** performances prior to Holyfield?!? His entire career is nothing but **** performances. SMH, worst heavyweight champ EVER

                      Yeah, it's so easy to beat natural heavyweight and become a champion. All you need is your wish.
