How bad was Valuev really?

Thank you :thumbsup

 

Valuev was well skilled for his size. Got many decisions he should't have, but was a very slid HW .

 

There's a reason why they call him the baddest man on the planet! :yep

 

Excellant chin, a lot of size, a lot of expierience and some good fundamentals. It must have been hard to find sparring to prepare for him as well.

 

watch him vs holyfield

end thread

 

You're stretching it now

 

hes extremely underrated. u got to see him in his early days. he was quick for a big dude and he could box a little too

 

Not really that bad. Not as bad as people here make him out to be. Yeah, he looked like ****, but he was over 7 feet and 300 + lbs.! We shouldn't expect a man that size to move like Ray Robinson. He was good and deserved his spot in the top ten, but he is no all-time great or anything.

 

:yep lost to 100years old Holyfield, all we need to know

 

If he was any good at all he would of destroyed and battered old man holyfield:deal

 

Valuev, like a lot of acromegalic giants, deteriorated rapidly once he hit his mid thirties. It happened to Hong Man Choi as well (the Korean kickboxer). Those dudes just seem to get old overnight, lose all their aggression, what little speed and mobility they have. Quite sad really.

 

dude holyfield was his idol. he wasnt gonna hurt holy for nobody

 

Valuev is GOD.

He had absolutely no power in his slow ass punches, his chin isn't all that's its cracked up to be (he's been rocked/stunned by Bidenko, Barrett, Bergeron, Chagaev, Haye and others)...and he's completely clueless of how to handle an opponent that moves laterally.
