Nicolai Valuev vs. Corrie Sanders

I'm going with the giant Valuev on this one.

 

sanders in prime via side to side movement and being a fast and hard hitting southpaw / if valuev cant beat a side to side 46 yr old holyfield he aint beating sanders / and chaguev who beat valuev isnt even near as good as sanders was .

 

I think Sanders' fast hands and better skills would see him to a decision win.. Only hold up would be if he showed up badly out of shape and gassed from Valuev leaning on him all night.

 

He's not knocking out Valuev thats for sure.

 

If Haye stumbled Valuev then Sanders could have knocked him out if he was in shape.

 

No. Just, no.
Haye had to run for it. Sanders might stun Valuev, but I just don't see him knocking out that giant.

 

Valuev won a title, he was a champ. Sanders never even got a shot at title, needed a backdoor by weak h2h k bro after he retired shyt and fat.

The difference in class is significant.

 

He did knock out one of the k bros, and survived the other one. I give him that. I don't think he would've beat Valuev though.

 

I think Sanders would have ko'ed Valuev, 3 kds in one round and the fight is stopped. If Haye could stagger the giant, Sanders, with his fast and deadly hands, would thrash Nico.

 

No,Valuev was even bigger than the k bros and he could take a punch. When Haye maker lands those bombs usually his opponent goes down. The giant was "staggered". Now, what's going to happen to Sanders if he gets tagged by the giant Valuev?

 

Let's put this to rest.

Corrie Sanders actually did quite a bit of sparring with Valuev in South Africa. The results were this:

"According to Volbrecht, Sanders sparred and spanked the current WBA heavyweight champion Nicolay Valuev when the Russian giant was in the country a couple of years ago.

"He easily beat Valuev in sparring."

"Valuev briefly trained with Brian Mitchell – South Africa’s former junior-lightweight star – in Johannesburg in the mid-1990s, and while there he apparently sparred with Corrie Sanders. The word is that he was taken to school by Sanders. "

Key words: "easily beat" and "taken to school".

I have no doubt at all than in an actual fight without pillow gloves and headgear, that the result would be even more emphatic. Sanders hits harder than Haye.

 

Here's more:

"Reigning WBA champion Nikolai Valuev, when he trained briefly with Brian Mitchell in Johannesburg some 10 years ago, was badly outclassed in sparring by Sanders.

“Corrie gave him a hiding in the gym,” recalled Harold Volbrecht, who will resume training Sanders. “Brian kept asking him to take it easy ... I’ve seen Valuev fight recently. He’s just big and strong — he hasn’t improved too much since then.” "

Sander by KO.TIMBER!

 

No way does Sanders ko or even drop Valuev.

It's more likely that Valuev scores a late ko because Sanders is out of shape.
