    Of course he would hate it. He is a human being regardless of his size, and likely a sensitive one as most giants are. "Beast" is far too close to what most of us would think if he were to meet him in real life.

      There's nothing I can find in Valuev's character to be disliked. He's such an honest guy. His performance is sub-par but his brute size and reach makes him very difficult to beat.

        He is the biggest bag of shi* in boxing. No talent just size. He is a nice guy, but he does not deserve the belt.

          Yep. He should have lost to Larry Donald. He got beat. Maybe he won 2 rounds in that fight...and that's being generous.

            What a waste of a fight. Wlad versus Valuev? I actually think Wlad will beat Valuev. That guy is known for taking rounds off at a time like he did against Ruiz and Donald.

              I do not like Wlad by any stretch but he is a pretty good fighter and I was impressed with his hanging on for dear life but effective performance against Peter..........I do think he would KO Valuev relatively early 4-6 rd range and it would be the first time i would ever be hoping for him to win.

                No doubt. If they tried to put that piece of **** on PPV, I'd laugh my ass off. Wlad would beat probably beat him, though. Wlad's already got a snoozer with Byrd in the works. Notice he's not calling out Brewster.

                  As ****ty as Valuev is, Wlad won't capitalize. He's still gun shy and he will fight SCARED, but he will land against this slow oaf.
