Why wasn't Valuev a dominant champion?

Firstly, he beat Haye but the powers that be realize Haye was far more marketable.

Secondly, he would rule MDQ heavyweight boxing from inception up to Joe Louis.

 

He was merciful that night against Haye if the near death experience had landed it would've been goodnight Irene.

 

An interesting take, but I have to admit that my mother never confided her thoughts on this issue to me.

 

Haha

 

Prime example why size and weight don't equal punching power, along with Fury, Canera, Mathis sr. Grant, etc. And the bottom line was he just wasn't a very good fighter..

 

He suffered from gigantism and the complications with that

 

He had too much body hair. No one wanted to fight him inside because of the bear smell.

 

The art of war.

 

He didn't lack power my previous sarcasm aside he was just slow and pawing with no real aggression, if you watch and see most of his knockouts it's as if he wakes up from some walking slumber he just wakes up and let's them have it he nigh knocks someone out with a jab I don't remember the fight but I'm always blown away when the giant awakens and he takes on his inner ogre.

 

I was not being sarcastic, just stating the obvious in my opinion.

 

Had sex with Valuev once. Best sex I ever had.

 

Lack of skill,lack of power,all round lack of talent.
If he had been 50lbs lighter he would never have been manouvered into a title.

 

Lets not have any of this crap.

 

Can't agree more with this, very similar situation as a certain Mr Carnera imo.

 

This is the best post I've ever read on this site.

I can only imagine the monster that was Camera...
