Anyone agree Valuev's stock is untainted by Haye?

You obviously didn't see the bookmakers odds the day of the fight? Huge money came in for Valuev and he was actually the favourite going into the fight.Haye was supposed to knock out the Russian whale, but he didn't want to stand and trade. I was expecting Haye to come out and swarm over Valuev, but he never had the balls to back up his trash. He was drilled to survive twelve rounds and rely on judges cards, and no way - unless the fight was fixed - could he have been sure he'd won that fight. Sky's main commenatator gave the fight to Valuev by two rounds!
What I'm saying is Valuev comes out of the fight with credit: he came forward the entire fight and threw punches, and took everything Haye could throw; and even when he was wobbled at the end, he still came forward and Haye again backed off and wouldn't risk himself. The betting was well in favour of Haye, but all he managed was a majority verdict. Now he's talking Vitaly Klitschko
I have to assume this is a Frank Bruno suicide mission/grab the ppv ala Tyson in 96. Either that or Haye has mental issues ala Bruno. No way at this moment is Haye up to fighting Vitaly Klitschko. For me, Valuev is the moral winner as he was trash talked and betted heavily against, but came to the ring to fight, not run away.Comment

Valuev's stock is in the same place it was at... 0. Haye's stock went down in my eyes, cong**** you won a MD against a man who can't box by running around the ring and engaging once every 5 rounds, If Haye was such a great boxer in my mind he should have had no problem widening this decision.. I love defensive fights but this fight was ridiculous Haye did about three rotations around the ring before he threw a punch at times. Needless to say Valuev didn't appear to have learned how to cut the ring off as he let Haye do it so it's his fault he lost.Comment
