I know I have been very hard on Valuev now, but honestly I can´t see him as one that can compete with some of these legends. he´s big but that´s it.
probably a lot of people gonna try to corner me know, but i have to try to bob and weave.:bbb
Cheers

At this stage I don't think I would be able to pick him over any of them.

 

Tyson ko's him now (if he would be in any kind of shape ), holyfield already beat him with ease. and him matching others ain't even worth mentioning. a fight with carnera would be a good matchup though)

 

:good

 

Nor I. I honestly felt that a 45 year old inactive Holyfield deserved the nod, or if nothing else was worthy of a draw. Rulan Chagaev beat him as well, and frankly I'm not even sure that he deserved the nod in the first Ruiz fight. Valuev's size might make him a difficult opponent to knockout, but I don't see him beating any champion who's quailty ranges anywhere from half-way decent to great.

 

I agree with the most of this, and to add, i think Moorer might beat him as well, he can counter well and a bit of decent movement and a southpaw guard might mean that Valuev's jab isn't too much of a problem.

He certainly has that size advantage over Ingo and Schmeling, but for different reasons, them two opponents posess two of the greatest right hands in heavyweigh history. Who knows?

 

The choices are between Valuev being eitherbrutally KO'd late in the match by the guys on the list with overwhelming punching power (he lasts a while because of his size and chin) or being widely outboxed by the guys on the list without overwhelming punching power

 

Valuev loses to every single one of them (the ones you listed).

He lost to Holyfield, Chagaev, Ruiz and Donald in my opinion and struggled to beat Bergeron. Even McCline was outboxing him until breaking his ankle.

 

The Holyfield fight knocked his currency to rock bottom.

Before that he would have got a lot more suport in this thread.

 

Agreed but I've always viewed him as a sideshow attraction/circus act. I don't think he should've ever gotten past Ruiz and Donald.

He is bigger than almost any other boxer in history, has a granite chin, a decent jab and good stamina for a big man. That's about all I can say about him.

 

Valuev's underrated to a small degree. Some look at him as everything that's "wrong" with the current HW scene.. Size over skill, uninteresting/bland fighter... So on and so forth.

Really, he's got more then one very solid skill. Great chin, ultra long jab. He always comes into fights in shape and can fight for 12 rounds.

Donald, Holyfield and Ruiz all attempted to outbox him. Bit of a weak part of his game, he's very slow of foot and can't adapt.

 

Valuev would lose to all of them...in my opinion.
