    His mere size and the fact that he dwarfs 80% of the HW's is such an underrated fact directly related to his success. Yes, I realize he is an excellent fighter with skills blah blah blah... but...... his height is really what has gotten him to where he is now. For this reason, and this reason only, I give Valuev a shot against him. The only other "type" of guy that could beat him is one that comes right at him and presses to get inside and one that has excellent inside skliiz/ powerful uppercut etc. Not so sure this guy exists right now though. :think

    if this were true than Ray Austin would be just as good as Wlad.

    If Tyson didnt have power he would suck.

    If Ali had didnt have speed he would suck.

    If Chris Byrd wasnt so slick he would suck.

    You get the picture???

    You use what you have to work with idiot.

    That doesn't stop us asking what would happen if those attributes were missing.

    According to what has been suggested, I think it's fair to say that not only Valuev but also Yao Ming, Choi Hong-man, Akebono, Godzilla and Mr. Bigz... It is still quite vivid in my mind when Michael Moorer beat Mike "The Giant" White, Wladimir is both big, co-ordinated and athletic altogether...

    End of discussion.

    There are plenty of guys out there that are Wlad's size.

    It's a combo of being big and ATHLETIC not just being big.

    Not to mention his skill of course.

    The original poster gives Valuev a shot because of size how STUPID is that.Chagaev was dwarfed and what happened?

    Ray Austin, Lance Whitaker, Gerry Cooney, all those guy's were as tall as Wlad if not taller, but were not at his talent level, lots of guy's are real tall so what if they don't have skill , there gonna get their ass kicked by a guy 6-2 with more talent.
    Wlad is successful because he is smart and can box, too bad he dosen't have the chin to match or he would be near unbeatable:yep

    He's very intelligent in the ring, and most importantly...he adapts.
