After losing all 12 rounds against the less talented brother why would he beat Vitali. If he was scared to take chances against Wlad think of what he would be like against someone who's never tasted canvas in 235 rounds against bigger punchers in Lewis, Peter, Sanders, Hide and Briggs. The Valuev fight is one people seem to forget about, Haye was getting outboxed by Valuev, I didn't expect him to trade with him but he did not do enough to win that fight. Larry Donald set a clear blueprint on how to beat Valuev and made him look silly.
Vitali has been knocked down. No slip. It's a KD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwxM9OaJ_N4 And Pele Reid knocked him out clean with a kick too. So don't go acting like Vitali possesses a granite jaw with the likes of McCall and Chuvalo. Just like pacquiao got knocked out cold, Vitali can get stopped, this is boxing. Oh and also at no point was Haye hurt against Wlad. Haye did stun Wlad a few times but couldn't follow up, including the 12th round. Vitali has his hands down and prefers to use his legs to get distance instead of covering up. His manager would never let the fight happen anyway cos he is scared.
The problem with Haye is that apart from his loss to Vlad, he has never fought another top rated heavyweight in recent times, he could choose from many of the current crop such as Povetkin, Pulev, Chagaev, Boystev etc...instead he keeps fighting the likes of Harrison, Chisora and now Fury. Surely he needs to earn his shot again, especially after his last effort.
