    Klitschko Wants Valuev Bout in 2007

    In a recent interview with ESPN Magazine, IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko expressed his desire to fight the seven-foot giant, WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev. The sheer size of Valuev even grabbed Klitschko's interest, because he's never fought a fight that much bigger than him. [details]

    If this fight ever goes down it will mark the first time I have actually wanted Wlad to win a fight................

      Again Don King probably won't let it happen but I'd love to see it.

        UD for Klit (one or the other).

        But Valuev does have a puncher's chance to win by KO.

          I'd go with Klitschko by late stoppage after Valuevs massive cranium started taking too many unanswered hard shots. I dont think Valuev has the power with one shot to hurt Wlad and he certainly doesn't have the skill to put enough punches together in combination to get rid of Wlad that way.

          I'd like to see Wladimir fight someone much larger than he is though. He'd get to see how everyone else feels against him.

            Wlad Vs. Valuev would be similar to Calzaghe Vs. Lacy...

            Valuev stands NO CHANCE, not even a puncher's chance in this fight.

              I don't think that pumpkin head could be cracked. Valuev can take a punch and I believe that punching that forehead will hurt Kiltchko more than Valuev. Stick the jab to the mouth and nose, Valuev's corner will throw in the towel.

              Then there's the X factor of Wladmir: stamina. Will he hit a wall again? Hope not.

                I see it as clear as day...

                Valuev will hit the canvas by the 6-7 round

                  It's not like Wlad is a light puncher. I know that Valuev can take a shot and his dome is thicker than reinforced steel, but the difference in skill would lead to Valuev being battered.

                    Well, as long as he sticks that jab into the nose and mouth all night, he'll win.

                    Luckily he's not ****** like Barrett was and tried to throw downward haymakers, which landed right on the giant's forehead.
