This 7 foot Russian giant is only 33 years old. To top it all off, our current generation of heavyweights suck!
Rocky Marciano, 49 undefeated victories.
Nikolay Valuev, 45 currently undefeated victories.

WHO IS GOING TO BEAT HIM?
2006-10-09 12:13:25 · update #1
Yes he will, I'd like to see him go 100 wins and 80 ko's before he retires.
He just started so there isn't any reason for him to retire any time soon, he's still in training.
The only person in history that would have a chance against him would be Rocky Marciano, and it would be one hell of a fight.
They would probably stand toe to toe in the middle of the ring and slugged it out.
I think Rocky could possibly hurt Valuev bad but I'm not sure he'd beat him, it would be fun to see though.
Wladimir Klitschko said he wouldn't fight Valuev because Valuev is too good for him, Wladimir said Valuev is a more skilled fighter than he is.

In my opinion, there's a great chance that Valve will beat "The Rocks" record of 49 and 0 as long as he keeps fighting weak opposition like Monte "Two Guns Barrett, but as soon as he fights against a guy that can crack it will be all over for the Russian giant.
Who has he fought that has a big punch? John Ruiz couldn't break a egg. Larry Donald has feathers for fist. Owen Beck? Clifford Etienne? None of these guys were known as punchers. How about the other guys he has fought names like Richard Bango, Tone Fido, Sinclair Babb, Patrick Slade and the ever popular Yori Yeilstratov, surely not the best of this era.
Rocky Marciano fought the very best of his time, Moore, Walcott, Layne, Charles and La Starza, these were the very best fighters of his era and he wasn't given weak opponents to build a undefeated record.
Now that Don King is trying to get involved in Valuevs career you better believe he will make sure Valuev will keep fighting weak opposition, I wouldn't be surprised if they dusted off Chris Byrd to fight him. He got hit with punches he wasn't suppose to get hit with against Barrett and was bothered by the shots, just imagine him getting with those same shots from a heavyweight that can hit. Any of the "Heavyweight Champions" will beat him. Wladimir Klitschko would stop him in less than five rounds.
Thanks for the question Knodd.

As weak and diluted as the Heavyweight division is, yes he can break Marciano's record.

Nope, he won't. I saw his fight saturday and its just a matter of time before he gets KO'd. I think Vladimir Klitchko is going to pummel him real good.

If he does, will he really get credit for doing it.
