David Haye - Vitali Klitschko....Does anyone else fear revisionism after the match?

no, i seriously think everyone will get behind Haye if he beats Vitali, especially if he knocks the guy out. theres a poll on the generall forum and about 95% of people are going for Vitali.

i really dont understand why people want haye to loose as well.

i think that most will say, if haye wins, that he is a top 10 p4p fighter, the best heavyweight since Lewis, but would loose to the greats.

 

Nah should Haye win I shall be a huge supporter of his and laugh at all the Eastern Europeans and racist white folk and the Americans. I will support Haye in his quest to beat Vitali but I just can not see him winning....yet.

 

I was thinking the same the other day. To some degree Pacs win over Oscar has suffered a similar fate, though there are obvious weight issues involved there as well.

 

Yep,all valid points BB.
The discerning fans should legislate for these factors BEFORE the fight,because they could prove to be highly significant.
I also think something similiar could also work against Vitali;
I.e....if Vitali wins he will also be denied credit due to Haye's size,inexperience at HW etc.
There will be question marks either way.

 

It happens to every fighter who has a big win.

Tszyu became old and shot afterwards
Lacy became a hypejob
Kessler became a Eurobum
Paulie became a C level fighter
DLH became shot and weight drained
Maccarinelli made a 'mistake'

etc.....................

 

I always felt Hatton would beat (and stop) Paulie - because he is very one-dimensional and hittable for a supposed slickster.

Everything comes from the jab - neutralise that and you are laughing. He didn't have the power to get Hatton's respect, and once he was beginning to be outjabbed himself (and flummoxed with Ricky's occasional RH lead) it was all over as a contest.

A lot of people were tipping Paulie to beat Hatton on points - though whether that was just the haters on this forum and the trolls on General....... The Sky people were bound to hype Paulie because he was on their PPV, but clever guys such as Watt, Piper, Nelson and McCrory shouldn't lower themselves.

 

I give Haye more of a chance than most but I agree that if Haye goes on to beat Vitali you will hear all these excuses.

From now till June there will be countless threads on the general about how Vitali will make Haye 'pay' and how he will 'punish him' but if Haye wins those same people will log on after the fight and make every excuse they can to discredit him.

The Klit fans on the general forum are a bit too sensitive and are calling Haye classless and whatnot when they forget Vitali acted like a crybaby after the Lennox fight (and still does in regards to that fight) and refuses to give Lennox any credit. Also, When Sanders beat Wlad, Vitali was outraged with Sanders in the ring after the fight and acted like a classless piece of ****. Wlad is the gentleman of the two whereas Vitali is bit of a psycho.

 

I don't think Haye will beat Vitali, I will be honest with you here and now.

But - if he does, I won't be using the old and shot excuse, unless Vitali quits for any reason.

He just made chicken**** of Sam Peter - who decked his brother three times before losing a UD, remember Peter was consensus #2 in the world and Vitali was coming off a four year layoff.

 

Agree with every post you have made in this thread.

Vitali, whilst not everyones cup of tea, myself included done fantastic to come back from such a long lay off, not have a tune up and wipe the floor with someone as dangerous as Peter and should get huge props for that.

If he knocks out Haye, it is certain he will get slated for ko'ing a chinless cruiserweight.

If Haye wins and people try to take anything away from the win then they should be banned from ever watching the sport again. Vitali is the most dangerous heavyweight around and for Haye to even contemplate going against him is ****ing great, Haye is deserves massive respect for what he has done and is continueing to do imo.
