    I think Cunningham would beat his ass, he's slick, has got nice combos, decent speed and Valuev would suit him imo. Anyone else ? Dunno what about Adamek, maybe Diablo or G. Jones, but I'm not sure about this 3, cuz they are not as technical as USS, so who knows.

    Valuev is one of the worst respectable boxers, right now so i think a lot of people will say yes, eve if you put pac there people would say yes. people threat Valuev like a circus joke and not a true good fighter.

    pretty hard for heavyweights to get close to him, so I am undecided.

    Most cruiserweights are probably better equipped to beat Valuev than the heavyweights, simply because they generally have better lateral movement and a higher workrate.

    Cunningham, Ross and Maccaranelli all have styles that would lend themselves to beating a plodder like Valuev, but they all have questionable chins.

    Adamek maybe has a shot, although I think his tendency to try to wait for the perfect shot rather than letting his hands go would hurt him in this fight. Same for Wlodarczyk.

    Jones and Afolabi don't throw enough punches to take advantage.

    Fragomeni is too short and forward-moving, and would be tailor made for Valuev. Same for Mormeck.

    I could see Ramirez getting inside on Valuev and beating him up to the body just because he keeps such a low position.

    A wild card might be someone like Shaun George, even though he's campaigning at light heavyweight now.
     
  9. NO,,, How can a 190 man take a punch from a guy that would outweigh them by 140 or so lbs??? and how would a guy 5'11 get past the jab of someone 7-1???
    You let the hate of Valuev cloud your silly judgement.:verysad,, bunch of dreamers...:tired

    Only the National Guard can beat The Sasquatch.

    Or at least take some pictures.

    **** Monte Barrett put up a good fight against Valuev... it's not even a matter of being able to hurt the SOB, it's about being able to get inside and put up with him hugging you to death. McCline was doing well too but blew out his knee trying to hold up the Sasquatch.

    I give Cunningham the best chance because he actually outreaches Valuev and has good movement...where as Adamek would have to beat him the way Chagaev beat him and for a guy that's 198lbs it would be a much taller challenge.
