Owen Beck and Nicolay Valuev??

[gwenstefani]

Ive never seen these guys fight but I know that Valeuv is like 6'10 or something. Has anyone seen them fight? And do they have a chance at Vitali?

I've seen Valuev once and was unimpressed. Like someone with a lot of power, Valuev is a "dangerous" opponent people won't want to schedule because that's a lot of weight to deal with and it's awkward fighting a guy that tall. That being said, his height/weight is similar to a "puncher's chance" - that's all he's got and he'll likely get outclassed by the first Top 10 fighter he schedules.

Haven't seen Owen Beck, but he's fighting Monte Barrett on the undercard of Spinks/Judah II on Feb. 5 so I'll see him live.

I have a few Valuev's fights but can't upload them (# of posts problem). He is huge. I also read that he only had something like 30 amatuer fights before turning pro. You can download his fights on Emule.

Valuev is big, that is all I can say. I saw his fight with Nobels and it looks like he uses his height well. However, sooner, rather than later, some journeyman is going to break down the body and score a knockout.

I have also been saying that about Vitaly for a year.......

Valuev fears coming over here to fight. If he didn't he would have been here already.

he is a pretty ****ty puncher imo. For his size he does not have the handspeed nor the accuracy nor power.

i saw his fight against nobles , nobles could have won if it wasnt for the DQ . he was starting to land flush and rocked valuev.

if a small and unathletic HW like nobles can do it , any decent HW will KO valuev , who does jab jab right all fight.
