    Couldn't agree more with the OP. Valuev's been ducked even more than the dangerous Humberto Soto.

    Valuev (or rather Don King on his behalf) turned down K2 offer twice: 2.5mil once he had the belt and 1.5mil after he lost it to Haye.

    didnt they offer Valuev a career high check and he turned it down for more money, sounds like he didnt want the fight

    Valuev agreed and K2 quickly said offer is not on table anymore

    Also he earned more on Hayemaker fight than Klitchkos were offering

    I didn't get it at first, but he's using the Klit hugger's argument on how Wlad and Vitali beats all these legends just based on their size

    I've seen a good bit of them say the brothers would beat Ali and even Foreman because of their size

    You haven't posted a single thing that supports your opinion they ducked Valuev. The size copmparisons mean zilch actually. Is that all you got? :huh

    Valuez was steered clear from the K Bros for a good reason. He simply wasn't in their league, and I am pretty sure his handlers were aware of that. But they had a big man who was an attraction. there were talks of a fight w/ Vitali at one point. But I'ma guess his life and death fight w/ Ruiz, as well as his unofficial loss to Holy squashed it.
