That sucks. The web just isn't what it used to be.

Dang, that forehead departs his eyebrows at a 45degree angle! Looks like it was forged in a Russian tank factory.

did he skip a few steps of the evolutionary ladder?
I thought boxers weren't allowed to wear sweaters in the ring?

No big deal.

Ruiz is a real journeyman and no great shakes. Despite this, Valuev only just shaded the decision and couldn't put Ruiz away.

David Tua ironed out Ruiz in one round.

Valuev is made to order for a Tua/Tyson type of fighter.

This guy reminds me of "Toro Moreno" in the 1950's Humphrey Bogart movie "The Harder They Fall".

THe only problem is Tyson would have to climb a step ladder just to reach Valuev's law. He could however give him one hell of a nipple hickey.

Seriously, I quick precision boxer could probably make mincemeat out of this lumbering giant.

After beating up a doorman, it appears the guy's got a little 'roid rage going on too.

Eh. He's just WBA champion. That's like being the champions of the NFL Europe.
