No way at all. Even at his fighting prime........Evander would have had a problem with a guy with the style and humongous size of Valuev. Wouldn't surprise me to see Holyfield KTFO.
HOW DARE YOU,.. Prime Holyfield wipes out everybody, everybody in this shitty, shitty division, in two rounds tops, anything else, is fucking disrespectful to previous generations, and you've got to respect your elders, you think how grandpa tells you to think, pappa never raised no fool,..:nono:..you respect, passed on, regimented, conservative tradition, or we will never be able to move forwards.
I'm afraid HOly will be stretched by this giant but Total BUM it's sad really.. Holy is so deluded that even after getting stretched he'll say he has to "get back in line"
dsimon writes: A freak show... unfortunately Joe is right. Holly could put it all together and delude himself and everyone and upset the gigantism patient. The Stinger put it well also when he talks about how piss poor the skills of the gigantism patient truly are. Itcould easily happen. On the other hand as Lok said it could be stretch city for the bastard maker. Like Ike I will be watching this fight in anticipation of watching Holly recieve a beatin and tell us how he will wait his turn patiently.... I find it inspiring frankly, Holly makes me understand I can do anything!!! :notallthere:::

He will eventually when he is 60 find a bum like Valuev who he can beat with one arm.. and he will be declared the interm champ of the Ukranian Robots boxing association, or some other such federation.:: Then the bastard maker will write a book about his accomplishment of getting a championship at 50! ::
Holyfield can still do it but indeed it wouldnt be suprising to see him lose although I dont think anyone will KTFO Holyfield. He might tire and get stopped that way though. he's just too old for the job now. but I hope he gets it one more time so he can retire
Freak Man I hope Evander does a job on that dim witted, simple minded circus performer with two left leaden feet. Valuev actually belongs in a travelling carnival, a freak show if you will, going around to the villages and farms in Russia doing strong man acts, like Anthony Quinn in "La Strada." He could wrestle drugged up bears with no teeth, arm wrestle opponents from the audience, and clean out the horse stables and scrub the toilets after the tent closed for the night, and then sleep "under the stars" in his sleeping bag on the icy, rocky ground, just like Quinn did as "Zampano the Strong!" in the movie.
I hope he does too brother Karl, but Holy is looking worse and worse.. sadly, win or lose I bet this is not his last fight..
He'll keep fighting LOK, he has major financial problems and major child support issues. He has a tv commerical for a law firm that is running in Houston right now, and you can barely comprehend what the guy is saying. Kenny Weldon is training him for this fight, not Ronnie Shields or Tim Knight. Too bad he had to run into a guy at the downslide of his career as Valuev wouldn't have lasted five rounds with the guy at his peak.
For your information, Valuev is known as a pretty intelligent and well-spoken guy. You shouldn't judge his smarts based on his looks. Second, he might not have those hot limbs of Juan Diaz, but his record isn't that bad. If he was as bad as you suggest, wouldn't you think somebody would have whipped him already?
Valuev really needs to find another line of work, probably menial labor work or maybe being a "Sheperd" would be more up his alley. If that dosen't work out, he could play the monster in "Frankenstein" if Universal does a remake one day, and unlike Boris Karloff who originally had the part, Valuev would save the studio a ton of money as he wouldn't have to wear and be outfitted with expensive makeup, he's naturally horrible looking, just perfect for the role. As retarded as he is, that too would not be a problem as he wouldn't have to memorize lines, he'd just have to yell and growl, that's all that ape's dialogue will consist of, anyway.
agREED on both parts. And I think Valuev will stop Evander. It MIGHT be a fight for two or three rounds, but Holy's only chance is to fuck around and catch him with something lucky. Of course in order to do that, he'd actually have to throw a punch, which already handicaps his chance of winning.
Can you explain why exactly he need to "find another line of work"? It seems to me he's pretty successful in this one. Not sure why he'd have a need for "menial labor".
Well he is a world champion that makes millions every year so of course he should find another job... Btw if the remarks Karl made had been done of a black fighter, would that lead to a ban?
