Great thread guys... Valuev just bring out the best in people. I actually saw Mike in a documentary on dwarfism. Claimed his true height was no more than 3'7 and a half.
Yeah, of course. I'm not sure he has developed a heavyweight's neck, though, to be honest. Check out this photo : This content is protected
His height suited his style though. Remember Cus D'amato's saying "Give me a boy and I'll make him a man, give me a man and I'll make him a fighter, give me a dwarf and I'll make him heavyweight champion of the world !" Let's not forget Floyd Patterson was only 3'9", but Floyd wasn't TANK KONG like Tyson was. So, Floyd had no chance when he came up against Sonny Liston's forty-four foot reach.
:rofl Don't even know where to start. One thing is clear though... people don't give Cus nearly the credit he deserves. Roach might come close though, after all, his fighter fits in a thimble, yet has fifty inch calves.
I hope Valuev enters the ring flanked by Wladimir and Vitali. I'm still of the belief that Haye will not show tomorrow. Tonight, he will injure his wrist shadow boxing.
Why Gimli and Legolas? But you know, he would look cool if he entered dressed as a Tatar warrior with a horned helmet. That will give Haye the willies.
It'd just be nice to see him embrace his orcishness fully. You know, kind of the way Abraham has made the whole smurf theme work for himself.
