another predictable gutsy accumulation stoppage loss for danny, if it happens.
However, I think danny can hit valuev, he is easier to hit than he should be with his hulking height advantage. danny still loses though.

Because Danny got his foot in the world door by beating Tyson, he seems to think he is a world player. I don't think he is.
With a man of his talents, the fight out there for him is Skelton. Would be a tremendous scrap and a big ticket seller.

This could be just all talk of course but i the fact is the Tyson win & Klitchsko loss mean Danny does have a name on the world scene. His name is bigger than his talent but he's a recognised boxer now.
I think there may be a bit of a backlash against "Valuev is a giant no talent bum" line of thinking. He was certainly well improved as shown against Levin but let's not go over the top.
At Danny's level of skill, toughness and power i would say he would only be likely to lose to sharper fighters. I'd give Danny a much better chance against Valuev than Toney for instance.
Valuev couldn't stop Mirovic i don't seeing stopping or even beating Danny. But i couldn't be sure until i see the new improved Nicolai against another contender.

He is known, stateside, as a man who beat a Tyson who ruptured his knee during the bout after almost knocking him out anyway and then took perhaps the most prolonged, ferocious, one-sided shellacking I've ever seen in a heavyweight contest.
Sad to say, but Williams, in the US, is simply seen as another lousy Brit who got lucky.
After he was totally and utterly demolished by Vitali, a big name boxer wouldn't really want to take him on. He would be dangerous but everyone would expect them to batter Danny, so it's not the best situation for them.
He needs to reassess his career profile and get back on the European stage. In the right frame of mind and not weighing half a ton, he could beat some good American guys. But they aren't going to fight him, IMO. He should stop hanging around waiting for some miraculous entry back into the world scene and get a move on.

One problem is he denies that 19 stone 4lbs affected him in a way too. I think it affected his body movement more possibly though. Danny would definately have the chin for Valuev though. Danny can't be that bad though can he? I mean boxers have had good and bad times and he hasn't been in the world scene for that long.
