I would say Andy Ruiz Jr has the fastest hands in combinations right now. Though he is rather flat footed.
It does when you can see Vitalis legs are gone. Haye got too much for him at this stage and Vit an the hairdresser know it.
the EXACT same thing was said about Ali. And Vitali is flatfooted and pulls back so even if his legs are gone it doesn't matter. 120-108 Vitali Klitschko in a Boring fight. Haye isn't going to be able to land on Vitali. He doesn't throw enough punches for one and is a counter puncher.
Ali was 6'3, the taller you are the harder it is to move with age. He couldn't sustain that type of movement for a full fight in the second career. He was able to counter Wlad at times who is far superior in footwork and movement than the older brother. Vitali does not possess the KO Power to seriously hurt Haye early, and even with his activity he mostly throws arm punches, Haye's defence is what separates him from Vitali's recent opponents. The reason why I think Vitali or his team are hesitant is simply: Haye's Power & Movement. Vitali could not put a dent on Chisora yet Haye stops him in less than half the time? C'mon man, Haye doesn't necessarily need high activity when he loads up on his shots most of the time. His power & defence are the significant factors something which Arreola, Chisora and neither Charr ever possessed. I think Vitali will get cut badly. But now because we haven't heard from Vitali's camp I really think the chances of this fight happening now are slim. :-(
Vitali was only cut by Lewis because he was being held around the neck while Lewis tore at him with the right glove, no chance Haye is going to manage that. He is a dirty fighter as we saw with Ruiz, but Vit is not John Ruiz. As far as not hurting Haye early, we'll see. Haye's style is made for Vitali s far as I can see, it's all very well having that crouching hands low style verses a slow guy like Valuev or even Wlad playing it safe but Vitali will attack with those big hooks and land on him. He'll be KO'd early in my view and Chisora is no gauge at all here.
Haye is just following suit like Lewis and Calzaghe. Fight them when they're old. Unfortunately for Haye, Vitali still beats him.
Vitali has had more important things than boxing as number one priority in his life for a couple of years now. It showed in Chisora match already. It is same thing that showed in Pacman-JMM bout. It is not possible to be world champion level boxer and have a full-time-demanding another career at the same time. Hayemaker should've accepted the challenge when he asked for it a couple of years ago. There is no reason for Vitali to waste sweat for some big mouth at this stage anymore.
Hypocrisy: "I will get my title back".....never tries to get a Byrd rematch after quitting. Klitards: "Lennox ducked a rematch." HYPOCRISY :yep
