    I think it would obviously behoove Valuev to do a whole lot of leaning on a 46 year old Holyfield every chance he gets.


    That big guy leaning his weight on you at every clinch, causing your legs to have to support all that beef, even for a few seconds at a time, would tire anyone out......LOL

    My picks have been about 50/50 lately, so I'm not exactly Nostradameus, but I'm picking Valuev by either comfortable UD or late TKO.

    I hope Holy KO's this cromagnon creature. I cannot stand to see him anymore. I swear he dropped off the evolutionary chart. When he fights, I can get off the sofa and make a sandwich and return before he throws 1 punch. Its like he is in permanent slow motion.

    Friggin cave man....

    Holy sh*t! And I thought Peter-Vitali was a size mismatch!

    I love Holyfield and wish him well. He better have his best, uh, 'supplements' for this fight after looking at that picture.

    Can you imagine what a guy like Valuev would accomplish if his style was like Mayorga or a fighter from the 1980s named Juan Roldan? The wild swinging type style might help him with that size. Those smaller guys wouldn't know what to do with a guy that size winging away. Why would a guy that size not punch much. Takes away from the whole advantage. Look how good the Klitchkos are with size advantage.

    Exactly what I was thinking. If Valuev had the power to match his size, Holy would be in big trouble.

    I'm sure Holy knows what to do to beat Valuev, I just don't think his body will let him do it. If he could keep up the pace of his youth, or hell even of 5 or 6 years' ago, it'd be a certain win for him.

    Holy has forgotten more about boxing than Value ever knew and maybe Valuev is so plodding that Holy can pull out one more win. Just wish he'd f**kin retire tho !

    Yeah, punches to the head do have that effect.
