Nikolay Valuev 50-2 vs Deontay Wilder 42-1 who has this? Its a tight one ! Valuev with his granite chin and sugar skills vs Alabama slammer KO power. Valuev has a better resume but Wilder has better KO %. IMHO, I think Valuev just might bully Wilder and crack that glass chin in those 12rd and get a TKO. give us your thoughts?
Wilder by early KO. If 6'3'' washed up Monte Barrett landed swiging right hand right at the first minute of the fight that rocked Valuev, imagine what kind of damage Wilder's right hand would do? And yes, he would land it with full leverage like Barrett did, because Valuev was incredibly slow and cumbersome.
Hmm Wilder might end up breaking his hand because Valuev has a thick cranium and Wilder has small bones that move at high velocity
Valuev is an average boxer and he is not as strong as he should be given his height and weight, Wilder is fast and his punch would be fatal for Valuev...
Lol. If Fury can make Wilder look useless for 99% of the fight, what do you think SNV is going to do to him. Sugar outboxes Wilder, let's it go a few rounds to show Wilder he can't touch him, then catches him coming in and KOs him in the 5th.
Haye got Wilder dancing - but avoided contact for most of the fight I see Wilder winning but it would be a tougher ask as he would get cought and grabbed hes not as mobile as Haye. Wilder on Pts but not without a few bumps along the way.
Wilder would end this and early. He only has a two-inch reach disadvantage, and he's not at such a height differential to be leaping to hit the guy. I like Valuev as a person but would be interested to see how loud it was when that big oak tree fell.
