    so true :lol: I finally realized what the Valuev fetish was about. I don't get the Young infatuation though.

    Maybe now that old slow and not-so-steady is likely retired, it'll go away.

    Have you been turned into a Valuev fan? He seems like a nice guy but...

    It's possible Young could win, but my heart says go with the determined, consistent guy. Young's will to win just wasn't there often enough. Sure, he's more skilled than Rocky in some ways, but Marciano would want it more and go and get it.

    I too, dig Valuev's freakish size and build, and his basic skill is okay as a boxer, but the hype and con job is now over in his marketing..... He is NOT a great fighter and lacks the true make-up of a serious fighter..... As of '11, he's gone as far as he'll go in boxing..... At 7' tall, he's been exposed and has cashed in his chips... Even 'Boxed Ears' see's the light there..... TRUTH!!

    Any guy who can come close to beating Randy Neuman can annihilate Marciano. It's a proven fact, just youtube that ****.
