Real-Life Ivan Drago?

In the sports world, there are literally dozens of forms of athletic competitions that interest me more than boxing. Especially the heavy weights: dance around for a minute and a half, throw one punch, lock arms for a minute, ref steps in, round's over, repeat... The smaller guys are slightly more exciting to watch, but not much.

I have never witnessed a single moment of an actual fight that was 1/100th as cool as anything they did in any of the Rocky movies (including Rocky V). What does it say about a sport when its most engaging aspect is to see what kind of psychotic things Mike Tyson will do/say next?

There may be hope, however. This is Russian boxer Nikolay Valuev. I stumbled across this picture earlier today, and....uh, well it pretty much speaks for itself.
I assume the "tiny" guy on the right is actually a well-built, professional-caliber athlete, but he just looks like a child next to this monster. Apparently this Valuev guy is now (at least one of the) heavy weight champion(s) of the world (doesn't boxing still recognize numerous world champions at each weight class at any given time?).

I had never even heard the name "Nikolay Valuev" before today, but based solely on this photo and this article, I am kind of hyped up to see what he brings to the ring.

I wonder if Tyson's up for another comeback.
