WBA Valuev is the Champion...Klitschko fight likley on ESPN Classic

My God, that's a huge size difference. All Wlad needs to do is keep his head, jab and throw a right cross every ten jabs or so, and the fight is his.

 

keep checking till it shows.

 

Chagaev can fight well against taller dudes, but still size does matter...wlad late TKO

 

What do you guys think Chagaev is texting? "I'm f%cked!"

 

Why does Chagaev look taller in the first picture, than he does in the others??

If the 2nd & 3rd pic are both accurate side by side height comparisons, there's no way Chagaev is over six feet tall.

 

Look at the reach difference. WOW!

What is Chagaev thinking? "WTF was I thinking when I said yes?"

 

On pic 2 and 3, Chagaev is standing more in the background. Still he looks like a short 6'1, I'm guessing he is not taller than me, and I am a shade over six feet. The hand size difference is also remarkable.

 

****, Wlad looks at least 6 inches taller, and his hands are twice the size of Chagaevs.

Wlads hands are veiny as hell, he has veins popping out in his fingers for gods sake.

This isnt going to be competitive. Chagaev is so ****ed

 

Chagaev is under 6 feet for sure...i would say he is 5'11" no more

 

The photo just magnifies a huge advantage opponents never seem to grasp until fight time---just how big Klitschko really is. On tape, everything looks easy and they see things to exploit. Then, they finally stand next to the guy and realize things are going to be a lot tougher than they thought. And they are going to have a real tough time landing anything without getting hit.

Lennox Lewis did that to opponents as well & some opponents even stated it, saying they saw lots of things on tape but simply didn't realize how big the guy really was.

In case you can't make that out, it's Saturday June 20th, ESPN Classic, 5pm EST.

 

These pics remind me of when I stand next to my brother in law. I'm 5'8" and he is 6'7" to 6'8". It is a very intimidating feeling initially. With Wladimir, I guess it only gets worse because not only is he taller, he is typically stronger, faster, and more skilled. If that doesn't take the fight out of you, nothing will.
