Wishful thinking. Battle of the monsters: Klitschko-Valuev

itd be wierd to see valuev get knocked out...but hes been hurt b4 hasnt he?

 

this fight will happen and they will make a ton of money.

 

I think we will see this fight in 2009.

 

This would be a great fight with two big champions.

 

Vitali vs Valuev in a UD for Vitali but it would be an exciting fight

 

I doubt King will be fair when it comes to putting this fight together with the Klit people. He knows Valuev will, more than likely lose that last title, and King will demand is usual options of future fights of the opponent, which they won't agree to.

That's my take on it, anyway, after what I've learned about what King is known to want in situations like this.

Sort of.

You could argue he was hurt by Nobles, Ruiz, or Bidenko early in his career.

He wasn't hurt bad by any of them but I do think they all stunned him, albeit for a second.

Valuev to me has shown a very good chin, especially against Chagaev where Ruslan was hitting him very flush for 12 rounds. Chagaev is a pretty big puncher.

 

Vitali is 6 foot 7.5 - 8

Valuev is 6 foot 11.1. Barely over 6 foot 11.

So Valuev would have just over a 3 inch height advantage. Not really an advantage, given that Valuev fights leaning in, and Vitali fights so tall.

 

I think this fight will happen but I think it will be Wlad fighting him. I also think that once Chagaev is healthy then Wlad will fight him as well to clean out the WBA champs

 

I thought Valuev was 7' 3"

 

Valuev said himself some time back that he was 6 foot 11.1.

Chef, why do you think it'd be Wlad fighting him? Any reason why you think that?

From the post fight interview, and the post fight press thing, I got the impression that Vitali was hinting that the WBA title was his final quest.
