haye v valuev

[ACE2M]

anyone want to tell me a reason why i shouldn't have lumped on valuev at 2/1 earlier?

[DaveShoelace]

I think Haye will win, but 2-1 is pretty decent valuev

I still think Haye will win this, and listening to him on the radio I hope he does because he seems quite funny and bright, but fuck me, look at this size difference

[GreekStein]

Ive never really seen Valuev fight but it should be closer than most people think.

Valuev is such a charicature it's ridic.

Imagine if he had any boxing abaility, he would be literally untouchable

And if he had the abaility to spell he could be one of the greatest 7 foot writers ever.

[DaveShoelace]

Very few boxers of his size are actually any good, their size works against them later on. I remember they wheeled out this 7ft sack of shit to fight audley harrison and he was awful, just made harrison look better than he was. Valuev will be one of the better ones, but its not the toughest division in the world at the moment. Will be fun to watch either way.

He eats 3 kilos of meat a day, thats roughly 17 quarter pounders...

Valuev does has some skill, and he's not just a freak.  However, his size obviously affects his speed and it's definitely a case of David v Goliath (so easy for the headline writers this one) and Haye needs to use his speed and skills and stay out of the way.

Can Haye take a decent punch? (Never watched him fight)

Not really known for having a decent chin - but that's what makes him exciting.  He can bang, but doesn't take a shot too well.  If he can reach Valuev's head he can dish out some damage of his own..

Yep, very suspect chin, he has sharpened up his defence a bit and he certainly will be getting knocked out again in his career, as boshi says, thats what makes it a great fight

If he can't take a punch he won't stand much of a chance though against a guy this size who can take a punch and can very easily land one, no?. 2-1 seems a bit big of a price on the big guy.
