    I don't know. Maybe he's right. Maybe Floyd could actually land ONE punch, then run away the entire round (and next rounds too) and win a decision w/o getting DQ'd! :nut

    I doubt it. Man, some of those heavies hit HARDD!!!!

    And they can take lots of punches to the face. I don't think anything Floyd throws at Valuev will even phase him, and Valuev won't lose much workrate because Floyd's punches won't be doin ****.

    Eventually Floyd will get tired of running and take a beating.

    i think its entirely possible someone with a style similar to mayweathers who is significantly below valuev could beat him. the question isnt if mayweather could but if someone like him could.

    I could easily see a lot of LHWs or SMWs beating a guy like Valuev. The guy really hasnt hit that hard for a loooooong time

    IDK, Valuev is a joke of a fighter, old man Donald was robbed and he can't even beat a 46 yr old who has been shot for the for nearly 10 yrs.

    OK, I'll give you 'clean effective punching', but ring generalship? :lol:
     
  8. Valuev is to ****ing damn big for anyone under 200lbs, someone would get knocked into a coma:patsch and it wouldn't be nicky:-(..
    What would be the point? Valuev can't be KO'D:-( and any fight over seas that goes the full 12 their gonna give it to him regardless:patsch..

    Holy made it look easy because he was able to muster up some of his old self and had the perfect fight plan. Are some of you people really serious about 150lber not hurting a heavyweight? Are you for real? Ladies and gentlemen, it does happen just maybe not as much as if it were vice versa, but if this happened in theory what are you going to expect? Slow as **** Valuev is going to ko Floyd when faster fighters couldn't? The mind is the most powerful weapon, not size. Yes, I believe Valuev hits hard, but it doesn't mean he can't get stunned with a series of shots by a smaller man or get busted up.

    C'mon, if anyone here has been to the clubs, win or lose, bouncers or security, etc. will get busted up or worse on occasion. A very limited large fighter like Valuev getting whupped by a quality fighter like floyd or manny, who's sparred with Toney, is not very farfetched. Ivan Calderon whipping on DLH, MAB getting the best of Chico Corrales, RJJ schooling John Ruiz, and the list goes on people. Being the smaller fighter doesn't always have limitations. this isn't the discovery channel

    Valuev is the biggest fraud and cheat in the history of boxing and also the very worst fighter I have EVER seen. It's a disgrace to SPORTS that he's involved in one and a champion to top it off, free gift of course.

    If a 46 year old Holyfield beat his ass and clearly then I would bet(and I'm not joking at all) money on Pacquiao to beat him. Just make sure it's somewhere fair where the judges aren't purchased.

    Not someone as small as Mayweather no, I just dont see how hed win rounds.

    But Holyfield against Valuev must have a lot of fighters wondering if they could do the same.
