    Valuev looked bad in many of his fights. Even Ruiz didn't do much worse as Holyfield in 2 fights. Haye should have done so much better, but he fought scared, like he just seemed to do when fighting someone clearly bigger.
    Big talk before the fight... slaughter, going for the brutal KO from the bell, won't make it 3 rounds etc... and then running and potshotting in reality. He should have really have done what he claimed, and it would have been a clear win, instead of a close affair which could easily be scored a draw, for what actually was a bogus belt in the first place.

    You guys a bunch of Debbie Downers.
    Given what we have, it is the best it can possibly be.
    I am anticipating what happens the rest of the rear.
