Wlad's Next challenge...

[RockyMarcianofan00]

It may be true that Valuev wins because of his size but the point remains that he still wins. He's found a good effective style that makes use of his size, durability, and strength, just like every other fighter in the history of the sport made good use of their attributes. I think that's a bit like saying Foreman without his power would be ordinary. Foreman's power and Valuev are both nature given strength. They did not do anything to earn them. You can make the argument that Foreman worked hard to improve and refine his power but Valuev also trained hard to utilize his height as an advantage.

Height alone with no skill to assist it is only a disadvantage.

Very true actually....

The main belts are the WBC, WBA, IBF. The WBO has long been the lesser of the main 3.

which was the orginal that carried over...

Fighters that have had the WBO belt gave it up for bigger fights i.e. Sanders.

yessir...

He acts clumsy and ****** but when he gets pissed he gets serious....

I don't know fighters who are like "badass" all the time are great but I like Kenshin because you think he's like a complete fool that won't kill until he gets into a fight, and even then he's merciful..

so the WBO belt is the old belt?

Shannon Briggs, thats the only place where Wladimir can answear questions I have of him. Nicolay Valuev has no shot in hell, plus Don King won't sacrifice him to a guy he doesn't promote. Valuev stands too straight in there for a sharp shooter like Wladimir. I wouldn't mind Wladimir-Ruiz, Ruiz would be funny looking on the floor hard as hell

The WBO is the old belt, but the WBC is the most recognized of the 4.

Wlad vs. Valuev would be competitive for a few rounds because of the size and durability of the giant but eventually Wlad's accuracy and power would give him the edge and it would quickly escalate into a slaughter. Still Valuev has very heavy hands and underrated power.

Briggs would get blasted out in short order. He wouldn't last half as long as Valuev.
