The State of Boxing: Nikolai Valuev
Boxing sure has fallen on hard times as of late. I don’t think any average American can name even one of the four heavyweight champions. This might be due to the fact that none of them are American. All of the current champions are Eastern European. The most freakish of these champions is Nikolai Valuev.
Nikolai is 7’0� tall and weighs in at 320 lbs. He is by far the tallest and heaviest champion in history. He looks like a Cro-Magnon man and has a head like a Volkswagen. He is also covered in sweaty body hair which must make it very pleasant for his opponents to be in a clench with him. Valuev recently had his first fight in America where he defeated American Monte Brown to defend his title.
