Lewis v Valuev

It's a strange one but I can see him struggling like hell in this one. His stamina is suspect when having to fight at a pace other than his own. Valuev wasn't half as bad a boxer as most think. This would be a very interesting fight.

 

near 50 holyfield beat prime valuev. of course lewis knocks his mishapen skull into regular shape.

 

Lewis on points, wide. I don't think he presses for the knockout, nor would Valuev.

The Holyfield fight was nothing more than a gentlemen's agreement in my eyes- Evander gets a payday (peanuts compared to his prime paychecks, but the dude needed the money) instead of sitting on the sideline, Swiss fans get to see Holyfield fight live, and Valuev gets a "win". I can't call it a robbery if everyone's in on it. Holyfield's been around the block way too much to believe throwing 15 punches a round will win him a fight on the road. To put that in perspective, he threw about twice that vs Ibragimov, who's a better knockout puncher and counterpuncher than Valuev was.

 

so wat? an old shot 2 shyte holyfield matched prime valuev, yielding bigger disadvantages to him physically than lewis.

within limits, size had got shyte all to do with skill.

 

Lewis by easy decision.

Valuev had the chin to last the distance, but not the speed to trouble Lewis. And, despite his size, Valuev wasn't a big hitter so it's doubtful he could even take Lewis out with a lucky punch.

Lewis by UD 120-108 or something close to that.

 

np with that, I amend to " old shot2shyte holyfield matched prime valuev".

therefore the argument about size not being the breaker still stands.

 

Holyfield landed 4 punches per round against Iggy.. He landed far more on Valeuv. . Terminate your account

 

If we are talking the best Lewis he wins this by ko. Lewis was a hellacious puncher especially with his right hand. That right hand he would not miss fighting Valuev. The giant will only be able to take so much before it's lights out. Lewis by ko within five rounds.
