    I'd agree with you if this were 2012 and earlier, but this forum has gone to **** in the last 2 years.

    Let's look at HWs from the 90's:

    Holyfield
    Lewis
    Bowe
    Golota
    Bruno
    Foreman

    You're really gonna say Valuev is too skilled for those guys.

    Look at the absolute guff you've wrote.

    You're not going to take on board any an*lysis.

    Can I explain how a fighter can overcome such height and weight disparities?

    Let me think...

    Oh, how about skill, hand speed, timing, balance, reflexes, head movement etc.

    You're either an unfunny troll or you don't know a damn thing about boxing.

    Which is it?

    Why don't you explain to me how a 5'10 guy like Mike, who only weighed 220 pounds, with a 71' reach, had the success that he had?

    As for Valuev, David Haye beat him, and a 46 year old Evander was robbed against him.

    Oh, and please also explain how Joe Louis beat Primo Carnera, who was 6ft 6' tall, with an 85" reach, and who outweighed him by over 60 pounds?

    Go and educate yourself.

    Do you actually think Marciano could compete with Lennox Lewis for example?

    of course he'd be competitive.

    he would likely lose though.

    Tyson beats Valuev.. But probably in a similar sort of way to the fashion that he defeated Tony Tucker in. You have one opponent with a huge size advantage but a padded record who just fights to survive and go the distance. Realistically I can't see Tyson doing a Spinks on Nikolay though.. While he is 10 times the fighter that Valuev is, Nikolay is mammoth compared to him and also fairly durable if truth be told.

    The question is could Tyson land enough to warrant a points decision? Don't forget Tyson was closer in height to Tucker than Tucker was to Valuev, big difference....

    I think he does. Like had a lot of hand speed and worked the body well.. Valuev was passive.. And don't forget ruslan chagaev was only 5'11"

    But Tucker was better than Valuev.

    That's your opinion, Tucker was far from a great fighter. Valuev beats him every time...
