David Haye vs Nikolay Valuev

Don't joke about it AtW - it could happen.

That's exactly what I meant...

[TimberWolf]

I don't think Valuev has the power to kill, although it's possible someone could kill themselves trying to knock him out.

I wasn't being literal

Haye is already brain dead if he agreed to fight that monster of a man...

Sorry . Now I feel so stupid - d'oh.

Thank god for that, I though the match was off.

I was reading up a bit on Haye earlier and it seems he pulled out of a fight with a decent boxer this summer due to a 'back injury'. Not a good sign. As a decent puncher, he stands some chance against a lumbering giant, plus a boxing career left in tact if he loses. Heads he wins, tails he wins.

[AtW]

I wonder how much Haye's life insurance costs?

[Doggy Styles]

We're all guessing because there is little history of such size mismatches to go on.

I wouldn't rule out Haye. Remember that Primo Carnera lost his title to a little bloke. And in December Holyfield only lost to Valuev on a dodgy points decision at 46 years old, and he's only a bit bigger than Haye.

I think it's a fascinating match, it could go either way and could last anywhere from 1 to 12 rounds. That's my prediction.
