Though Valuev is uncoordinated, clumsy, slow like hell and ugly like hell, it is hard to pick someone who is like 1.5 times shorter and 3 times lighter than him. But, well, after thinking a little, I would pick Jvan Calderon to knock Valuev out cold.
I’d send in George Foreman swinging a strawweight around like a club to bash Sugar Valuev into submission.
Honest question: with his style, could you see 1974 George Foreman beating Valuev? Foreman would be the tiny man in the ring, giving away almost a foot in height and about 100 pounds in weight.
If only I could think of the name of one damned straw weight. Surely a catch weight limit should at least be negotiated. Require Valuev to tip the scales no more than 200 lbs at the official weigh in. Then we’ll see how the big ass weight bully goes rehydrating himself over the next few days. If that was the set up, I think it could perhaps even see me put some money on Quick Straw. What if Quick Straw lands the KO shot but ultimately gets crushed when Valuev falls on top of him? Double KO?
I could see George winning - Foreman’s strength and power well transcended his own actual size - and sufficiently so to see off Valuev imo.
I think so. Sugar wasn’t immune to getting hit and I think George chops him down. Or perhaps clubs him down, as they say. Foreman in four.
