Thought Valuev was horrendous. He was no better against Holyfield, but it took someone to show the judges that they can avoid damage by great margins and land 2s and 3s. Holyfield just let some punches land, because they are so poor and countered with single shots.

I don't think there is a ranked heavyweight as good as David Haye, and his gameplan was good, he was unlucky to hurt his hand early because he showed in the last round what he can do to anybody when he gets an opening, but he had so many, it allowed him to not damage his hand so badly that he will have have prolonged time off by getting the easiest points decision of his life. And that is a testiment to just how bad Valuev is.
