    I'm not talking about the weigh in weight. I'm talking about the fight night weight. I think he was 181 or 182 on fight night against Tarver and Calzaghe.

    No.

    What is a better option that's available to him right now?

    I know he's a hw so I see where you're coming from, but I'd rather see a fight with Adamek. I just can't take Valuev seriously at all, to me he has no credibility.

    I would like to see him take on Dawson.

    It's close to a fifty-fifty fight and it's in his division.

    I'm pretty sure he can't win against Adamek, but I wouldn't completely rule it out.

    I've bet on him (and made money) against Tito, Tarver and Pavlik.

    I'd bet on him again if it was Dawson, but not if it was Adamek.


    BTW, he lost by a wide margin against Calzaghe and would have lost worse in a rematch.




    P.S.

    Someone tossed in Valuev. I assume they were joking.

    However, when I think about it, it's not as wild an idea as one might first think. Valuev is big, but he doesn't have a big punch and he's relatively unskilled and lumbering.

    I would give Bernard a 40 % chance (if he came in at 195) of getting the UD over the giant.

    And how good would that look on his resume !
