Valuev Coulda Been Contender Vs. Wlad
“It will take a big, strong, skilled boxer who Wlad can't push and pull around the ring to expose Wlad as the one-dimensional boxer he is. Lewis and Bowe would have knocked him out but there aren't big men of that quality around at present. Someone who can jab with Wlad, wrestle with Wlad and wear Wlad down so he has to fight will beat him. The moment he has to fight on even terms and exchange punches his world will collapse – but sadly there is no-one to make that happen at the moment. Physically, Valuev would have been interesting 3 or 4 years ago but that is why (despite Valuev being based in the same country for a decade) the fight never happened. He couldn't match Wlad for skills but his strength, size and chin might have been a far greater challenge for Wlad than most people think.” —Gibola offers a take on what sort of boxer could defeat Wlad
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
