    Pulev UD. Valuev has no real 1 punch KO power, and is really slow.

    Valuev could slow him down later on, but Pulev is pretty consistent and methodical when hes not hurt.

    Fair post. I personally lean towards Valuev because Nikolai had a very long jab himself and might seriously interfere with Pulev's jab centric fight plan. It's a question of whether Pulev's better technique and speed triumphs over Valuev's outrageous reach ... it might.

    I see it the same way. Adding he has a hard head.

    The delusion on this thread so far is so outlandish I can't even begin to comprehend it.

    The amount of greasy hair shed during this bout will make the mat look like shag carpet.

    One of the few people I would pick Valuev to beat. Valuev was slow, but, Pulev was terrible.

    Pulev could get KO'd here, he has no defence.

    If SNV could hit like Klitchko or Joshua id agree with you, but everything he threw you could see a mile out. Pulevs big problem was his lack of KO power in his right hand and leaky defence against the very best, but his ability to land his punches and footwork were decent. Valuev could land on him but i think pulev would land more, being the quicker fighter.
