    Tony Thompson : 6'5
    Jameel McCline: 6'6

    SNV is the most avoided fighter.

    Not true.

    Everyone wants to fight him. Sure, they know they would lose - but a loss against SNV doesn't count as a loss. It counts as a win. After all, you got to actually be touched by SNV; to feel his incandescent technique, his radiant punches, his luminous defense. To be bathed in his whole-body halo.

    Everyone wants this. Everyone.

    Wlad can't counterpunch and doesn't know how to fight as the smaller man.

    It would be his nightmare. He would get beat at his own game.

    Wlad wants to fight Valuev several years ago in 2004.

    Sauerland did not want this fight.

    Than Wlad offers Valuev several times a unification fight and in 2009 he ask Valuev to fight at Schalk, after Haye pulls out. Valuev said no.

    Don King came into the picture and ended it for good.

    This is already the proven point. The Klitschko's wanted a fight but King Didn't. This is old ****!

    Evander Holyfield was robbed against Valuev, he beats him much better than Haye did.

    I would like to see what kind of contract was offered to Valuev if any, I believe he wanted somewhere in the region of 3 million euro, which for the size of the fight isnt that massive, as both he and the brothers bring big numbers to the German market.

    Also I would like to see what contracts are on the table for Haye , and if there has been any changes to their original offers.

    Right. I know Valuev was coming off a LOSS, and was still offered a titleshot by Vitali at 1.5 million, and Valuev/King said no. :blood

    Bottom line, Valuev and King know that Valeuv would get his ass whipped, and Valuev didn't want to suffer yet another loss, so soon after the Haye loss.

    EVERYONE knows Valuev would lose to either brother. We know it, Valuev knows it, King knows it...........that is why they wouldn't accept the offers made.........
