Because the guy is big, our natural assumption is that he should do proportionately more damage than his opponent - this is based on our preconceptions, not on appreciation for boxing as a sport (it is not necessarily about hurting the other guy). Valuev landed the punches and fairly scored the points to win, as the judges rightly decided - don't penalise the man just because he's biggger than his opponents - folks used to criticise Lennox Lewis too because of his size and lack of a killer instinct, but he was still one of the most gifted boxers I have ever seen.
