    Do you guys consider this guy a serious contender and fighter? I'm just asking because even though he may hold a belt and actually be a top contender; to me he's more of a freak show. You can tell someone saw how big he was and just slapped some gloves on him. He makes Vitali look like Floyd Mayweather when it comes to skills. I honestly don't think I'll ever be interested in watching the guy fight again unless it's against Wlad or Vitali.

    Wlad because I'd be interested to see if Wlad hits the canvas again. Vitali because I'd like to see Valuev get the shit kicked out of him. Actually I'm not sure I'd enjoy that because he comes off as too much of a gentle giant rather than a monstrous one. Still his existance does annoy me so we'll just have to wait and see how I feel about it.

    As for the Haye fight, I'm not sure I'll watch that either. The size discrepancy is so huge it'll be an ugly snoorefest for sure as Valuev pecks his way to a decision win.

    He isn't good but he is huge. He is not an easy fight for anyone because of his freakish build.

    Yep, and further to that he has an enormous cranium. Hard to hurt the guy even when you can get close enough to land.

    I thought this was going to be a question of if he is human or not.
