    Now that Valuev is back and improved and may well regain the WBA belt from Chagaev, is the prospect of a Valuev vs Klitschko fight again the megafight it was perceived to be.

    I simply think because of the size, recognizability, intreague and fame factors, that Valuev would be a much more lucrative fight for Klitschko than Chagaev is.

    Give your thoughts on:

    Valuev w. WBA belt vs Klitschko w. IBF,WBO,IBO belts

    or

    Klitschko defending the belts against a beltless Valuev

    It's probably interesting for a few rounds until Wlad blasts that big lump outta there.

    No Valuev is terrible. He is just a freak show.

    I would be interested to see it but if Val regains the WBA belt Don King won't let it happen.

    Well I´d pay good money to see someone KO that freak show. Not that I dislike Valuev, it´s just that seeing someone KO that huge monster would be quite a sight. And let´s face it, Valuev is probably as legit a threat to Klitschko as any of the other heavyweights.

    Yes, along with Povetkin/Wlad it is the most interesting matchup in the heavyweight division

    Not that he'd win, but I want to see if Wlad can KO him, which I doubt

    It's always been interesting. Who wouldn't love to see if Wlad could knock him out or not?

    It would be interesting, and Wlad would give Valuev his worst beating.

    Exactly, this match is exactly what the Heavyweight division needs to draw in it's average fan, which has been missing since Tysons departure. They could market this fight to the hills, "Two giants, one ring, someones going to fall". The fact that Valuev has never been down before and Wlad's the biggest hitter in the division, might help sell this fight even more. This one of the only fights out there that can be made, that the average boxing fan will flock to.

    How fun wouldn't it be to see that big beast get KO'ed by a smaller beast.

    Valuev would land a few jabs, but seriously, he's getting KTFO in 5 rounds. He is just way way too easy for Wlad to pummel.

    I've always been interested in this one, regardless of who wins the spectacle would really be quite something.

    Sometimes you need that extra dimension to make a fight sell, and having such a huge opponent for Wladimir to face could be one of those.

    valuev-klitschko would be an intrigueing fight . id love to see it and valuev is not terrible. for his massive size he is a pretty good fighter i dont think klitschko could knock him out or cause a ref stoppage. and if valuev could keep klit at bay with his jab he might possibly take a decision. he has proven some pretty good versatility he can actually box (no he isnt as fast as chris byrd but with his size i wouldnt expect him to be) or he can just club someone into submission although his power isnt great getting hit with hams the size of which he has will take effect a little later in the fight. and the one thing you cant complain about with valuev is his condidtioning he comes into the ring ready to do whatever he has to for twelve rounds and he doesnt seem to run outta gas which as all of you have seen was wlads problem a few years back but he seems to have corrected it. i couldnt say who wins this fight but it would go to an ugly decision.

    Valuev has to first get by Chagaev, and given that Chag looked pretty lackluster in his last fight, and Valuev's jab now seems to have become a piston-like machine, pounding out the punishment, I think Valuev will regain his title.

    And Wlad unifying with Valuev would be quite an interesting and exciting fight, yes.

    The real variable woudl be if Wlad could take Valuev off his feet. I am pretty confident that Wlad would box his ears off, but if he could drop him in the process, that would the the question.
