Does Being A 7ft Ugly Bastard Make Valuev's Legacy?

P4P Gordon Strachan had a nastier bite.

I dunno Mak.

Biggest feather fisted fighter ever perhaps?

because it's easy to be explosive when your 7ft tall

[Exocet]

I think Primo Carnera's legacy is based largely on his huge size - he wasn't exactly a great boxer but every boxing fan knows of him. I guess Valuev is probably in the same boat - not a great boxer but everyone knows who he is and probably will for some time.

Valuev will be immediately forgotten upon retirement. He will have no ticker tape parade, no HOF induction, no... he will fade into a big ass horizon and be forgotten like all average fighters with average performances should be

if he was a regular sized dude...would he have the same legacy he has now?

Haha, no. Being a hairy 7 foot ugly bastard clearly is what makes his legacy.

we're talking boxing and you bring up penises...wonderful

Valuev was only 2 fights off breaking Marciano`s record of 49-0 so he has some ability, its not his fault that David Haye refused to engage him in a boxing match..

Valuev wouldn't be boxing if he was 6 foot, he brings nothing. He is much less athletic than haye n the klits, has less power, less speed and no technique either. He is one of the poorest world champs ever, even ruiz has better wins than valuev. Someone said that everyone has their assets whithout which they'd be nothing, thing is valuev is naturally tall. Mayweather had to train hard for his defence, pac for his speed and the klits for their power. Valuev was born tall... without his size advantage he would be nothing.
