Valuev has a lot of arguable wins. Whom did he win clearly? Liakhovich? Barrett? Were the likes of Washington, Wach and Duhaupas worse than those?

I would say that Valuev's wins are better. But I also think that his multiple fights against Ruiz and his fights with Holyfield (although an old one) and Haye give him experience at championship level that Miller doesn't have.
If Valuev was convincing at the higher level, then I would agree with you, but otherwise I can't. He didn't really have anything, except that experience, while his inarguable wins were quite meaningless. Anyway, there were a lot of crossroad fights, where obscure by that moment prospects defeated experienced fighters. If Valuev would be scheduled against Miller at some point of his reign, I wouldn't be surprised with an upset. Although it could be another robbery in favor of the Yeti.Crease wrote: ↑20 Apr 2022, 06:52I would say that Valuev's wins are better.

Big Baby is (was?) an impressive big specimen but he never reached the top, top level and we don't know if he ever will now... And looking at his record I don't see any wins that would convince me that he could beat the giant.
