Future Heavyweight fights

[Crazy Dude]

Don King is planning for Valuev to beat the lowest quality of opposition tolerable so he run his record up to 48-0.(marcianno's record 49-0) Then he's banking on big ppv numbers for the record tying fight and the record beating fight(50-0). Or at least that's what I think DK's up to.

I read an interview with Valuev where he basically said he'll take 3 tomato cans (I guess this is number 2) and then a legitimate contender (probably Klitschko).

Anyway I hope Barrett can pull off an upset.

you might be right, but i think barrett my be the wrong guy, but then again, i think barrett is a King fighter. but if Valuev does win, do you think the 49 and 50 guy would still be weak? or would the give brock or brewster a shot?

I think that Valuev will have to face a legitimate opponent sooner rather than later. The WBA after all, has to sanction the bout. I think that Ruiz is in line for a shot if he wins his next contest.

Also, I don't think that the boxing public would allow Valuev to keep fighting lower level opposition like Beck and Barrett. I mean who will buy tickets to these fights nevermind ppvs.
