I like him, too. But you gotta admit, if he were 6" shorter and 50 lbs lighter, he'd be no better than Liakhovich, and maybe not even that good. For his size, people want to see a more dominant physical performance, not just reasonably good boxing skills.
I hear you, but on the other side of the coin he would be more mobile, he would be faster, he would be more explosive and could adapt more than he does to his opponents. His height and weight does not always benefit him in his fight, Chagaev used it against him and he couldn't do nothing about it. I respect him for it, people automatically thinks he's at an unfair advantage, which is not always the case.
Well it's clear by Valuev's weight that he did not take Holyfield lightly, but I still see Holyfield giving Valuev some problems and wining a few rounds and making it a closer fight then most people think, but at the end of the night I got Valuev winning by UD12
I'm rooting for Holyfield in this one and hoping he can fin a way to pull off a decision, although I don't think it's going to happen.

Nico doesnt have KO power but his punches definitely have some force behind them. Haye Valuev fight needs to happen ASAP.
Looking at these pictures Valuev looks like the 46 year old. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Actually no, Ton. Liakhovichs training was a joke - he spend most of it in hotel in Sofia instead in boxing facility. Heck Evander looks more in shape than Liakhovich. On top of that Sergei got injured before the fight and got on the ring with only one hand - his right was useless. And you cannot beat 213cm beast with one hand(unless you are David Haye...according to some guys(more like guy with 3 regs) here...btw not you i1984)
To the people that really think Holyfield is going to win, would you mind betting me straight up or maybe even 2-1 in your favor? I know it's not the 10-1 Vegas is offering, but I thought it's worth a shot. I'm not a balla or anything, but I would bet up to 100 dollars for like 5 people to paid through paypal or whatever else works.
