i dont think hes that big for his size. what i mean is it looks like he doesn't even weight train. if he lifted weights and were as cut and physically fit like the 229 guys he'd dominate. thats just what i think why not just lift massive weights at his height and become something like 400. could you imagine someone with 20 inch arms that are like 3 1/2 feet long hitting you in the face? can you say knockout?

I wish this was on tv tonight.. worth a watch.. but almost all the expert say Valuev will beat the journeyman Barrett. But heres one who stuck the old neck out :
From the predictions at: http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/4448/valuev-barrett-fight-predictions/
"Barrett is designed to be little more than a sacrificial lamb for the mammoth Valuev, who despite holding a meaningless title belt, has not yet proven anything. His decision wins against Larry Donald and John Ruiz were extremely controversial, but at least the circus sideshow has been showing improvement. If Barrett can get in the chest of Valuev and not let allow him to use that jab of his, the Russian could be in for a long night. I'm going out on a limb and picking Barrett via 10th round TKO."

Originally posted by cashthetrashbesides, if he put on another few stone, he probably would not be able to box, his own muscles would get in his way and he would be as clumsy as an ox. You have seen the over-muscled dudes where their arms don't hang down anymore, just jut out at about a 30 degree angle. Someone like that could not box. They could crush you like a grape if they get ahold of you but a nimble boxer would make mincemeat out of them.

i find it hard that 400 lb man could not beat a person who was fast. all it takes is one punch just imagine the force on the human head with 400 lbs of muscle behind a punch would your gloves really be able to protect you for that long? if the other guy is cornerd then he probably gets knocked into a coma. sure he has a dominate record but he has had some draws. sure nobody can beat him but they can draw him. why not just put that extra effort into it and make it impossible to draw or beat him? i dont understand how huge people dont work out as much and still do good while it shows that people that work their ass off in the gym kill the natural.

Princes Diaries for the kids was one.
I don't think he was ever seen as menacing.
He was too nice.
Tyson in his prime was ruthlessly menacing.
Ali was the all-time best.
Valuev is big but he's never going to be
in the books as any good even with
44-0 against palookas
