    Who would you bet on in a 15 rounder?

    I think a good version of Valuev takes it. They were both kind of stiff, but Valuev had some natural instincts whereas I can't shake the feeling that Carnera was just well drilled to impose his size. Which obviously wouldn't be nearly as effective against Valuev.

    Valuev by decision or late stoppage. He has the size and definitely the better chin. Basically, Primo would be out of his element, Valuev wouldn't be.

    Valuev wins, either points decision or a late ko.
