    Without stating the obvious in Valuev I think the following boxers have somewhat unique features.



    An overly large and hooked nose complements the triangular shaped face of Mr Froch with his smallish mouth and widely spaced apart icy blue eyes that appear prominent despite lurking under a strong and bony brow ridge. A most unusual looking gentleman.



    Tex Cobb. One big hairy mofo.



    I don't think I've ever seen a squarer and wider jaw than Maskaev's outside of Formula 1. It actually protudes further outwards than his cranium.

      His face looks odder than normal. More ridges than I remember. Fake? I'm pretty sure that isn't bruising.

          Daniel Jacobs



          Big Mickey Mouse ears and corn rows. Not a good combination.



          Nothing overtly strange about Golota, he's just got a very characterful and memorable face. Like Froch, his large overhanging nose compliments his badboy image well, though Golota's head is much squarer than Froch's, and indeed anyone's, almost comically so from certain angles. The crewcut gives him the appearance of a cartoon badguy, the sort of guy you'd never see in real life. Except you have.



          If you showed this pic to a casual boxing fan and told them the guy was Argentinian, you'd immediately conjure up in your mind ideas of a wild blood and guts slugger. Yet despite his ******-up looking features Niccolino Locche was one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. Still, the guy had an awesome old-school looking face.

            No. Pituitary gigantism. I thought this was well known by now?

              Haha, I forgot about Carl Frotch. He always made me think of a frog on Meth who is planning a conspiracy.

                It's not that I didn't know, I was saying the ridges around his face in that pic weren't as apparent in Valuev's other appearances in the ring or in pics. But someone pointed out about the flash which would probably shade some parts out and amplify them noticeably from minor to major.

                  Winky Wright's browridge always struck me as being rather larger than normal. Coupled with his long nose and longish face and it gives him a memorable appearance.



                  Sven Ottke. A most odd looking fellow.



                  A very narrow but high cranium, a strong browridge, very prominent cheekbones and gappy teeth give B-Hop his memorable looking face.

                    It does look a bit freaky even for Valuev I agree.

                      Winky also has a noticeably low hair line.
