Weights: David Haye 218, Nikolai Valuev 315

[Spacey1991]

Haye is the heavy favorite so how would him winning "shock the world"?

I dunno, Haye's got the potential to win but that's a huge size difference... even at HW.

valuev is nowdays not as heavy as he was

[Corelone]

Valuev is 7 foot and slower than an old Holifield, he depends on leaning and mauling, gravity will get him. Boxing him has to be harder than usual, because he's so wide. As for Haye, moobs are cool, but did he do his road work? Once around Valuev is twice around the park.

At least Big Val looks meaner than he did a year ago...




Seriously, he looks SORRY there. :laffpoint:

no way did Max Baer have a body like David Haye....no way

It was, a bit like, but far better "sculpted", perfect "Greek-God" type. Baer was the "picture-perfect" shape for a professional prizefighter. He easily could have been an artist's model, if the subject was athleticism.

Interestingly-to me anyway- Max Baer had very nicely wavy hair, and the photo of his head looking down, to display his hair, was extensively used by a major hair cream manufacturer.

And, before his features coarsened from his lifestyle, he was regarded as being handsome. He spent a lot of time in Hollywood chasing women, or being chased by them.
