Would Valuev be top 10 in current era

I’ve seen Joe Joyce pull off a back flip a few times. No way is Valuev doing that.

 

Joyce throws far better combos and has more power, Valuev was a boring plodder, Joyce is exciting and was a good amateur, no way could Valuev have won a silver at the olympics, Valuev`s amateur career:
Russian National Championships (+91 kg), Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 1994:

• 1/4: Lost to Alexei Lezin

Goodwill Games (+91 kg), Saint Petersburg, July 1994:

• 1/4: Lost to Alexei Lezin (Russia) on points, 8–+8ut.

 

Yeah but he don’t care about that cos stats wise he’s got maybe one of the best records ever though . 2 time champ a with a 50-2 record

 

Against who?

 

Many felt Joyce was slow and easy to hit and yet he has wins over 2 of the names in the current top 10. Top 5 even.

Tell me. When was Valuev TKOd for you to come to that conclusion?
Wait for it zzzzzzz

 

P4P Valuev is one of the worst boxers I've seen, literally just plods around the ring throwing jabs. He was carried by the fact he's 6'11 and 330lbs along with his hard Neanderthal skull.
As for would he be top 10, let's do a run down:
Vs Usyk - would lose via decision
Vs Dubois - would lose via decision
Vs Zhang - would lose via KO
Vs Bakole - would lose via decision, possibly KO
Vs Fury - would lose via decision
Vs Hrgovic - would lose via decision
Vs Parker - would lose via decision
Vs AJ - would lose via decision
Vs Hunter - would lose via decision
Vs Whyte - 50/50
He'd be ranked 10th or 11th most likely

 

J McCline 6ft 6
J F Bergeron 6ft 5
B Mirovic 6ft 5

Come to mind

You saying his resume is garbage (I'm not saying its the best) looks silly when you are saying he wouldn't be top 10 and yet it is greater than several in the top 10

 

Valuev was hurt by Haye and another fighter, Haye was the only noted puncher than Valuev fought and Haye was just running for most of the fight without throwing many shots, Joyce`s jab and combos were far quicker and snappier than Valuev`s is was Joyce`s footwork that was stiff.

 

None of those fighters would crack the top 10 now.

 

Many fighters were hurt by Haye. Have was a massive puncher but he didn't stop Valuev did he!
Also like I noted, Valuev had great powers of recovery and it wasn't like he was hanging on to survive
So not sure what you think you have proven there?

 

Nobody said they would, and we weren't talking about them cracking the top 10. Not sure what tge relevance of saying that is?
Some fighters in the current top 10 only have wins over fighters that haven't cracked the top 10

 

He'd be in and out, back and forth of the top ten here and there, just like several of this horrendous HW era.

 

Ive seen Valuev do a full split, which was damn impressive given his size. But stretching and leg flexibility was a big part of soviet boxing warmup routines, so it´s no wonder he could do that.

 

He might get a top 10 ranking, but there is definitely more than 10 heavyweights who could defeat him.

 

I don`t even know what you`re talking about, Haye v Valuev was the most boring fight I`ve seen, he hurt him then tried to follow up big deal, Zhang and Wilder would have put Valuev to sleep.
