I like him too.

I dont like him. He's cold, he will never have the heart of a champion. He's just ''blessed''(dunno if anyone wanna be that big) with size and the judges love him. The guy should have a record of more than 5 losses. I have eurosport and ard. They showed his fights and i've seen so many gift decision for this guy. And he's gonna go into the history books above Marciano with his record if he keeps fighting bums.

I still have yet to see this guy fight,and im very interested in doing so.How does he look in the ring?I would imagine that his jab would be his best tool.

Slow feet, surprising fast hands for a big guy. Doesn't put his weight into punches. Jab is the best weapon. Throws nice straight punches. Very textbook. If he put his weight more into his punches he would have excellent power, but he doesn't, he just throws arm punches.

He needs a better trainer.

Thanks for the info!How does he seem to take punches?Has he ever been rocked or floored?

I don't think he's as bad as everyone says he is. When he hits you, it hurts !

I think he's trying to improve and his size is a big draw

Not been rocked or floored, as far as i know. Heard that Larry donald beat him but got robbed.

I don't think any of his opponenets could reach his head and at the same time leverage their shots. I think lots of heavyweights will have the same problem, except maybe Wlad. Even Wlad will have troubles with the giant.

Reason I don't like him is that he became the first Russian heavyweigth champion, and I thought that some of the other up and coming fighters have much more skill and talent than him. I was disappointed.

I like Nikolai Valuev
