    That sounds about right.

    And let me guess...you've never been in the ring yourself, correct?

    :huh
    What's so hard to grasp? He is a BOXER. A professional fist-fighter. And he is generally considered the best HW on the planet.

    That was many moons ago, this is the new, improved Wladimir 2.0 and he's undefeated in this version.

    Shitting himself? I don't think so! Every fighter has his strenghts and its the trainers job to harness the strenghts. Klitschko fights behind a stiff jab and woks openings for the huge right! He is quite explosive when he hurts an opponent! You caonnot epect the 6 foot 6 klitscko to storm forward and fight explosively for 12 rounds in a Tyson fashion! Other great fighters fought behind a jab, Lennox Lewis for one!

    If Wlad uses his right hand early, the fight won't last long. If his strategy is to slowly take Haye out, the result is still the same, Haye will get knocked out. This is how I see the fight. Everyone keeps saying that this is hard test for Wladimir, but the fact is also that Haye hasn't ever faced anyone as skilled and powerful as Klitschko. I think there is nothing but this big hype around Haye and it will come to an end on June.

    I doubt very much if Haye can pressure the huge Wlad for the whole fight. He will find it hard to come forward with Wlad bombarding him with Jabs and the big right cross! Haye also has Stamina issues as illustrated in his pasting by Carl the Cat thompson

    That fight was a long time ago.He's changed his whole attitude.If Ruskull says that Wlad is a changed fighter,then I can say the same about Haye.Oh and 'this version' of Haye is undefeated also

    A coin toss? :lol: the WBC mandatory was the more determining factor in who would face who.

    Why do haters hold onto those losses so tight.:yep
    Since his loss to Brewster Wlad is 10-0 with 8 KO's and has captured the IBO,IBF, and WBO belts.

    Id say thats a damn good run in the last 5 years and I would say that about ANY boxer. Give credit where credit is due

    Lewis lost to sub-standard competition himself, so what? Tyson lost to Douglas, was he grade A? These guys are human & they make mistakes.

    Touché :lol:

    I consider haye's TKO loss to be similar to Wlad's Purrity loss. Not to disrespect the winning fighters either, they did what they were supposed to do.
