I am curious in this guy's physique to overcome many great boxers mostly below six feet, also check out this link to see how big this guy is. he is a decent fighter with 44-32-0. (44 wins-32 KO's-0 losses) WOW!!! Not to mention that he is unbeatable so far and will appear in America in New York City in September 1st against James Toney which will be Valuev's second American fight. He is Russian not American just so you know.

Yes.
What was the question now? Unfortunately, there's not much interest in Nikolai Valuev here in the States, partly because they're never shown his fights on tv - just pay-per-view. From what I've heard from other people, he has a great jab but not too much more than that. In fact, most people I've talked to think Ruiz won in that match against Valuev, regardless of how tiny he looks in that picture. (It wasn't a very action-packed bout.)
If he can get on tv with some knockout wins, that might get more people interested in him. It's too bad Don King keeps sticking to pay-per-view for everything. That's one of the bad things about boxing these days. I might actually buy it if he fights Klitschko, though, because I think Klitschko would beat him. He's a more skilled fighter.
(I'd like to see a rematch with Ruiz also, but I wouldn't pay for it.)

Primo Carnera in the 1930s is a bit like Valuev. He at the moment seen as a fairground attraction and his promoters are feeding him fighters his promoter believe he can win. I suppose you could see him fighting six more heavyweights, beating them and retiring with a record of 50-0-0. (beating Rocky Marciano's record). As a genuine heavyweight I have serious doubts about him. I agree with Jane Furrow's point on his fight with Ruiz. Let him fight a proper heavyweight unfortunately this is nobody about.
