Valuev had make career fighting old, shot and journeyman boxers. if somebody had interest to see heavyweight bout, and they see Valuev they never want to see boxing again. David Haye is best thing in boxing, since Mike Tyson.:thumbsup
i dont like how everybody seems to be showing hate on David Haye, Nikolai Valuev is disaster to be "heavyweight champion" nice guy or not, i hope he is gone after Haye fight.
You hate someone you don´t know because you don´t like his last opponents? :-( Right now at HW Haye is nothing more than a sad joke, not the best thing in boxing. Shittalking and then running from both Klitschkos. After the fight with Valuev he is either a complete fool or starting to build a reputation at HW.
I don't have hatred for champions in a sport I love. And the best thing for boxing is that the man with the best overall ability wins. Boxing is still a sport, and it will stay a sport.
This is crazy. He may not be the most exciting fighter to watch, but how on earth can you hate someone who has always been polite and respectful? You don't like his style of fighting, fine, but the man has always shown himself to be a decent person, and only a real schmuck would dislike a repectful and humble individual.
Valuev seems a really nice guy..with all the flack and comments hes had to take over the years from school upwards i think he deserves a great deal of respect. He may not be the greatest boxer ever to have graced the sacred ring but he damn well gives his all. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/boxing-how-a-freak-fought-back-1814737.html Heres an aritcle as posted on the british forums by Steve bunce for the independent newspaper in the uk.
as a person he seems to be a nice guy as a fighter he is boring and why the **** wont he fight a klitschko already, he has only had a title belt for how many years?
