Yeah? With a knockout % like he has. Gold medal winner. Military world champion. International champion. IBF, WBO, IBO world champion and is cleaning out the top ten right now.
This thread seems to be a place where delusional, mostly British Haye fans get together to reassure each other of Haye´s chances vs Wlad in order to make it feel like it´s being a realistic point of view. In reality this fight is just a huge missmatch in Wlad´s favor against an ridiculously overhyped fighter who talked himself into this match by fooling naive Brits into thinking he stands a chance. Haye won´t see the fourth round!
Wow. That's actually a huge insult. However he is right. The fact that Americans will get behind him despite his disrespect for them proves he is right. They would rather a guy who acts condescendingly towards them than support a dirty commie. Thankfully there are enough Americans out there that don't buy into it; who know the cold war is over, who don't like being insulted by opportunists.
:good But Haye is also more debonair... with cowboy hat, cowboy shoes, and all...Wlad pales in comparison, except for fight nite.
If Haye KO'd Wladimir it'd be better for the HW division due to Haye's charisma and style, but as a Wladimir fan, I hope Wladimir wins, I like Haye also, but I wish Haye would've chose another beltholder, because he's not beating the Klitschkos, Wladimir's going to stop Haye within 7.
I don't even know why Wlad is the favourite for this fight. His last few fights have been against Sultan Imbragimov which was one of the worst in living memory. Wlad just pawed the jab all night. Yes I know Ibragimov is negative but Wlad should have just KHTFO and been done with it. Thompson was a joke, an utter joke. No heart/skill at all. Let's not even mention Rahman, the guy was SHOT TO HELL. Infact, when Haye was speaking about possibly fighting Rahman he got a lot of **** for it - then Wlad fights him LMFAO. Wladis robotic; he's got a good jab and just crashes the right home with shear power, as well as having a good left hook. It's only impressive because he is a such a large man and has naturally good form on his punches. On the flip side, his defense is just a little hop away or a clinch. He doesn't duck, roll or slip any punches. He shoots away at the first sign of pressure to the other side of the ring. Haye has the speed and power and knock Wlad cold. I'm hoping for the same kind of performace as for Enzo. Haye was sensational that night - on another level. Yes I know Wlad >> Enzo but same kind of fighter in those few rounds... jab, jab...... jab..... jab. HAYEMAKER.
Sultan Imbragimov is very fast and skilled boxer. He give Cuban amateur king (Savon) more than good fight. Much better than any American or West- European fighter ever could do. Also his southpaw
