Rate Valuev's Power!

You gotta say he's at least "heavy-handed" ....

But real KO power comes from a combo of leverage, acuracy + speed ...

You could time Nico's punches with a sun-dial.

 

Valuev punches like a dump truck going through a wall. Haye punches like a sports car going through the wall. The sports car can hit the wall faster than the dump truck, but the dump truck can create a much larger hole, even if it is only traveling at half the speed. This fight is mass vs momentum. If or perhaps I should when Valuev connects, I expect to see Haye go back and after a while, go down.

 

everyone and their grandma has knocked out barrett into an oblivion, he's basically a practice dummy. so what are you trying to get at exactly?

 

i say average power for a HW simply because considering him "feather fisted" is going a bit far IMO. but for a man his size he definitley isn't that strong, he has the power of any other ordinary HW and nothing more.

 

Very average, below average actually.

 

That he's clearly not "feather-fisted". Thats it.

 

Enough power to send Haye on ***** street.

 

If I was Alex Zimin I'd have Valuev looking for power jabs, throwing for any part of Haye and walking in with the jab. He has to do this otherwise Haye will view him as a static target. If the jabs keep Haye off then all well and good, if Haye can get past this, then Valuev needs to lean on Haye inside. Haye will have to throw wild bombs at some time, if he doesn't out jab and speed around Valuev. When the bombs come in Valuev can look for that big sneaky upper cut.

 

Clearly not...:huh...for a guy of his weight, I would say, almost....

 

I keep seeing this same video posted over and over again as some sort of evidence for something in regards of Valuev. Has he actually fought anybody else on TV? Please somebody post some other evidence.

 

That is the problem: everyone has his size in mind.

You don't take size into account at heavyweight. This is not a pfp thing.

 

Fairly good analogy. Anybody with any boxing training and who weighs in excess of 300 lbs has good power for a HW. He may not have good power for his size, but his size is way bigger than almost any other HW. Force = mass x acceleration, that is fact. yes his acceleration is bad, but b/c of the mass it equates to a heavy punch when and if he throws it properly and whether it lands. And obviously he does throw properly and land on occassion.

But yes the Barrett video may in fact overestimate the power b/c Barrett looked like the perfect targe for Valuev and was obviously on shaky legs since the first good punch in the video making every other punch look devastating

 

Its not even his size, its about his weight, for a 320lbs guy he sure punch like a sissy. Just watch his fights vs Bergeron or Barrett. The guy even managed to go the distance with legend like Pedro Daniel Franco and Yuri Yelistratov, and both guy must have been destroyed many times by much smaller guy.

 

Power is not about size or muscles...its all about technique.

[/ame]is baseball. He can throw from the outfield wall all the way to home plate on a rope. Is he huge with big muscles? No...he has perfect technique.

 

As already stated, this is not a p4p competition. He may hit like a sissy for a 320lber but viewing him as just another heavyweight; to call him feather-fisted is absurd.
