Ok....I guess we have to start with these two:

1. A washed up Holyfield (Just Barely)
2.John (The Quiet Man) Ruiz


Perhaps Seldon?

Anyone Else? Tommy Burns?

Charles Martin
Michael Bentt
Herbie Hide

Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Patterson, Jack Johnson, Willard, Sullivan, Carnera, Braddock-to some some.

Even Ruiz and shot Holyfield could easily be awarded wins in those bouts. Valuev could fairly beat only the worst ones, slow and primitive fighters like Shannon Briggs. or lucky overachievers like Michael Bentt.

Tyson Fury

Other than Carnera and maybe Braddock I can't see him beating any of those guys.

Yeah Briggs is a good shout. I can see him beating Briggs. Valuev didn't have much going for him, but he could take a punch, and had better stamina than Briggs so he could probably wear him out.

Valuev could beat Marvin Hart

Carnera
Hide
Martin
Patterson
Johansson
Andy Ruiz
Brewster
Seldon
McCall

I did not much like adding Floyd or Ingemar but Valuev is just carrying so many physical advantages that he could just maul his way to a horrible points decision. McCall is added for the usual reasons and so is Hide.
