Sugar Nikolay Valuev is not only the greatest monster that ever lived, he was also one of the fastest and most finesse athletes to ever play in any sport.. As a big man, he'd dribble circles around Shaquille O'neal and break Barry Bonds all time single season homerun record in half as many games. The guy had speed, skills and ring acumen that would rival Muhammad Ali's and a punch that would leave Lennox on ***** street.. The man should be turned into an iconic figure and lead the united nations...
#1 in my SHW list . Can't rank him lower than #4 . Think about it : Lewis had McCall and Rahman , Louis had Schmelling who was not even good and ducked Jimmy Bivins and Lee Q Murray and probably a few more , Ali might have had Henry Cooper & would have had George Foreman if it wasn't 4 Dundee's criminal actions , Rocco was 2 small , Liston just didn't have any1 worthy 2 test himself against and is unproven , Patterson was 2 small and had Liston*2 . Frazier had Foreman *2 , Holyfield was stopped by Bowe , Tyson was KOd by Douglas and TKOd by Holyfield , Wladimir had Puritty , Sanders & Brewster . Nikolay Valuev would not have been stopped by all of those nemesi , he would have effortlessly stomped them .
Valuev is a nice guy but he is the least talented heavyweight champion I have ever seen in action. No power,no speed,no real boxing skill. I guess he had a good chin but he was in no wars. He got schooled by Holyfield and he stunk like a ****ing corpse.
Thinking about what a master athlete Sir Valuev is, I imagine he could be the spark Manchester United needs in the midfield. They've been lacking for some time and seldom score goals from central midfield. Adding Valuev to the roster would be a drastic improvement. He would be a terror to anyone trying to defend his superior athleticism. I'm going to mobile Alex Ferguson and make this dream team a reality...
