    Yeah, I think Haye would have stopped him in a rematch. So lots of dudes.

    Hard to say since he fought so few good fighters.

    We never found out how good his chin was.

    After trying to picture how strange the pair would look next to eachother, and the size difference, I think I agree.

    Definitely pick him to win, though.

    Quote a few. Monte Barrett rocked him. So did Haye when he decided to commit to punches.

    Dozens of HWs basically any decent fighter with power. Valuev was useless.

    That's the answer I was going to give. As well as names mentioned I'd add Bruno, Baer, Lyle, Brewster, Kirk Johnson, Hide and the list goes on. I honestly don't know where to stop. I even typed my own name at one point.

    I think Charlie Retzlaf And Cleveland Williams might have a good chance.

    I can imagine some fighters from the boxing history but i can see lot of questions.
    -Lennox Lewis ? Maybe, but his best ko against a very tall fighter is the glass-chinned Grant.
    Valuev and his chin was better than Grant.
    -Tyson ? Maybe, but he never beat a good 6'5"+ fighter.
    - Ali ? Idk. Foreman was only about 220 pounds and maximum 6'3.5" against him.
    Basically Valuev was a 7' and 310+ pounds fighter.
    - Joe Louis ? Maybe the biggest chance because he looked very dangerous against the very tall fighters.

    I can't see significant chance the following fighters' case. Foreman(Never beat a good big fighter.),
    Vitali Klitschko( never beat a good 6'4"+ fighter), wladimir Klitschko (Lost to the 6'6" Joshua and
    and about 6'8 Fury.)

    Liston,Marciano,Wilder,Fury,Joshua,Bowe etc. ? Zero chance.
