    HOlly vs VAluev was a true pain to watch.Neither fighter deserved to be the victor in their terribly boring encounter.
    I for my part dont really care a fig who was the victor of that travesty of boxing and wouldnt certainly argue the toss with either a Valuev or Holly fan about who won that fight.
    However,I still dont get it why Valuev didnt give it a serious try to beat the living **** out of that old geezer.
    Hollyfield was tailor made for Valuev: slow,predictable,over the hill,hittable,and so on.
    Valuev seemed to have a lot of respect for that old man,too much for my taste.

    Yep.

    He could of done whooped his ass but rly I dont want to explain further.

    I will say that you shouldn't really judge Valuev based only on that fight.

    Valuev also beat Bango, Levin and Vidoz, who weren't bad either. He appeared just on the slide for a couple of years, becoming slower and weaker over time.

    hmm says . . .

    my Russian friends don't like Valuev... they he's just a big slow boxer... he was a former volleyball player that's why he is freakishly tall. Who'lda thought a volleyball player can make it big in boxing...

    He isn't tall because he was a volleyball player, he may have played volleyball at some point in the past because he was tall.

    "Funny" (not so, actually) thing to see is, he obviously still lives in a cheap-ass typical russian flat of the size of a parking lot pocket, with the living room also being the childrens playing room and the bedroom. While his manager probably made millions off him.

    Ha! Do you think you can choose your size for your sport or that some sports make you grow bigger, or something?

    That's the craziest thing I ever heard! He may have been a vollyball player because he was tall but certainly not the other way round!


    By the way. Has anyone ever seen him on the heavy bag? I would like to think that he goes at it like big George but with even more weight and power behind his throws. Anyone any idea?

    Since Juergen Frank alias Jury Frank,stems from Russia,turned pro a couple of weeks ago Valuev has lost the crown of tallest heavy on the globe.
    Frank has scored two ko victories since he turned pro with SES,one of Germany's leading box promotions.
    He is scheduled to appear on a small fight show in Germany's capital nov.the 15th.
    218 cm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Damn! Even Valuev would have to look up to him if they ever fought each other.
