    People forget that Valuev is 7ft and like 23 stone...

    David Haye was tiny compared to him, everyone complains that he didn't stand and trade, but if he did then that would of been his downfall.... think about it, Valuevs defence wasn't awful, he had a tight guard at times, so Haye had to find a way in. Its like moaning a staw-weight didn't stand and trade with a cruiser-wieght... you guys also forget, david haye is the ONLY PERSON ever to wobble Valuev in his whole career.

    Valuev was hitting air most of the fight, since when have you been scored for hitting air? Hayes punches were landing also, wether it was a jab to the body or a hook to the head, almost of Valuevs punches were missing, valuev looked like a noob boxer.

    Everyone moaned when Dirreel lost this way to Froch but because a british boxer wins this way, he should of lost?!

    Froch is also 7ft and 23 stone.

    That's the bottom line and the reason why the two fights are so comparable.........

      People also forget that Valuev is by far one of the weaker punchers in the devision and not nearly as strong for his size.

        True I agree with that, but that goes to poor technique on the russians part, he cna;t transfer his body weight into a good punch while Haye could.

          People also forget that Valuev is one of the most unskilled fighter to ever land a belt, he practically moves like a snail.

          Size =/= skill, so size didn't mean ****.

                its funny now a britsh fighter has won its like this, but if Direll won, I bet everyone would be like "he boxed amazingly"... its funny because even the editors on boxingscene were having a dig at Froch saying things like "thats an insult to mayweather who runs all the time" but because a british fighter runs against a 7ft 2 guy he should of lost? ... even the editors at boxingscene kinda annoy me because there clear biasm is shown.

                  Chagaev is even shorter than Haye and he engaged Valuev and beat him as well.

                    Haye done what he had to do, did people actually think he was going to trade with Valuev?! If he did, then he would be leaving himself wide open to Valuev. He picked the right tactics and it made Valuev look a snail.
