    Whatever happened to Sasquatch (Aka Nikolay Valuev)?

    Was watching his fight against an ancient Holyfield and it was hilarious watching him get slapped around by a senior citizen.

        He’s had a ton of health problems from joint and bone issues to brain tumors.

          Both of the Klitschko brothers wanted to fight him, but they said he priced himself out because he knew either of them would end his career, so he wanted a huge payday to take with him into retirement. Valuev eventually retired due to back issues.

          I would've been interested to see either of the Klitschko brothers fight Valeuv, since he was the tallest and heaviest world champion boxer of all time. Fury's height and reach gave Wlad problems, and Valeuv had the same reach (85 in) but was 3 inches taller than Fury. I think both Klitschkos would've beaten, and probably would've stopped Valeuv. Valeuv only had 2 losses, close decisions to Haye and Chagaev, but he also had trouble with a past his prime Holyfield.

            I used to think of him as the missing link - and then I saw him on a TV show about big foot sightings and they interviewed him as a witness! I'm thinking, he just needs to look in the mirror to be a witness, lol.

              He served in the Russian Parliament, didn't he? I'm not sure if that's where he still is now.

                    He asked for 4 mil. I wouldn't call that pricing himself out.
