I give full credit to Barrett...

no way in hell does valuev hit as hard as vitali... maybe wlad but not vitali.. matter fact i wish vitali would come back

wladimir hits harder than nikolai i would think.

Wlad hits harder than Vitali and Valuev IMO.

[BrooklynBomber]

Wlad is definately a better puncher then either Vitaly and Valuev.
He is just overall better at everything punchwise.

Wlad has a more complete aresenal than any heavyweight I've seen over 6'4". The guy's technique is really tight. It's just a shame about the chin.

I have said that on numerous occasions, Manny should teach him to thrown that uppercut in clinches, ala Lewis.
With his physical strength, he will be deadly in clinches.

Barrett looked like ****.....he got beat up from ding to dong....If Val. had a more punching power, the fight would have been over early...

.....Yeah, in retro I am now convinced he laid down for Rahman. At least he showed a little pride and went for it in this fight. He still got his ass kicked, but at least he put forth an effort and swung for the fences.

... except for that last round when he wobbled Rahman. God, Rahman's a sack of ****, he really is.

From last night's performance I can't see how Valuev would keep Peter off him, and I also doubt he could take Peter's punches for long.

It's a sad indictment when you realise that Sam Peter could beat someone at boxing.

Hey, Peter isn't nearly as bad a boxer as most people seem to think. He throws sharp punches now, and has good hand speed for a heavyweight. He even tried a few counters over Toney's jab in their fight. I would pick Peter to beat any heavyweight right now except for Wlad, and I'm 50/50 as to whether he'll beat Toney in the rematch.

Who did you have winning the first time? He's obviously dangerous, but on a technical level is very crude IMO.
