He’s slow and akward to some extent (A big man will never look agile doing some techniques: ie crescent kick. For illustration watch Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren perform in Showdown in little Tokyo. It just doesn’t work the same way). HAving said that Valuev is so freakishly large Tim would look more like a middleweight because he would be the little man.

Tim would get crushed! He’s to slow and to clumbsy to beat a top 10 heavyweight. On top of that, it’s one thing to go 5 round MMA fights in a octogon, but it another to go 12 championship rounds in a huge boxing ring. He’d gas out about the 6 round and then probably get stopped afterwards.

a HUGE issue to Timmah’s boxing is that in the HW division Tim has not faced a real striker yet. Tra Tillerman and AA are both really good strikers that tim beat, and Tra was a pro boxer (I still think i’d shoot myself if i lost to a guy with half his chest missing…. just cause.. ya know?) and AA has talked about going pro, but neither of those guys are top HW boxers. Klichko like him or hate him is a great boxer. Tim hasn’t faced anyone with that size AND speed to bully him around. And have you ever seen Timmahs footwork? it’s horrible!!! he also has ZERO head movement and I have NEVER seen him slip a punch. If you look at Roid Sylvia then yeah he was a good boxer, because he was really aggresive and fought guys like Cabbage who are just meat gluttons for punishment. Timmah is a world class mma fighter (hate that I’m saying that) but he would get demolished in boxing.

Joel,
You are right no matter who wins it wouldn’t be by decision.

I agree and then i dont he has pretty good combos we seen in the fight with vera so in such his striking has improved he might loosen up a bit if he cant be taken down so maybe there is something that we dont really know i believe that mma has the hand up on a boxer I dont believe that big tim can last 12 rounds with a good HW maybe 5 so he better win early

Nikolai Valuev is the only fight he would want and even the great Randy Couture couldn’t handle him(Valuev) in a boxing only match. This is freakshow only and Tim would take him out. Now klitchko would put Tim to sleep.
