    In my opinion this would be the most entertaining fight currently in the h/w division. It would be great see WK attack the big man. Has there been any talks about this possibly happening as yet ? thoughts and opinions please. Thankyou.

    Compelling but boring. Not a good fight in my view.

    I think Valuev gets TKO'd on cuts or accumilation.

    I think it would be a good fight , a show case for wlad really to be aggressive and not have his usual size advantage , but yeah i could see it been a jab-fest if Wlad does'nt fancy the job and that would be dull. Either way i could see the fight generating alot of interest.

    Well, it has been announced by his promoter Sauerland Event that Valuev is fighting again on December 13... I hear HBO want Wlad to fight on the same date... but against his mandatory Povetkin (who's got the same promoter as Valuev btw)... let's wait and see if they come to an agreement before the purse bid (September 16)

    This is ''the Fight'' in heavyweightdivision

    Wlads jab an holding style wouldn't work against Valuev

    and if Valuev can take Wlad best punches ( i think he can) this could be a great fight

    :good

    I think Wlad would win quite a dull decision. I don't think Valuev could outbox him and Wlad is tentative vs big men, sort of the opposite of Lewis in that respect (see McCline and Thompson fights)

    I think if Vitali beat Peter we will see a Vitali vs Valuev fight. This has been hinted at in several articles about Vitali recently.

    It would be snooze, imo.
