And why is everyone so praising Valuev and nowhere is heard (on the 1st channel, for example, nothing at all) about Fyodor Emelyanenko? Yesterday's battle in Russia was not broadcast at all, and he still spectacularly cut off the African American.
On the same Wikipedia, if you look at it, Valuev is a purely boxer, and Yemelianenko is the world champion in heavyweight in mixed martial arts, world champion in combat sambo, master of sports of the international class in judo.

And on the street, I think, it would still be better to meet Valuev in the opponents, because he is a tank and from him there is still a chance to escape, without getting a blow from the leg, and after the strongest painful reception...
Bring someone to the top, Russia must know its heroes. And he doesn’t have to drink or smoke to prove he’s Russian.
