    Since been taken down eh? How convenient.

    I watched the fight a few times and never saw Haye in trouble once.

    It was taken down because that account, in total, was taken down. I just never uploaded it again. I'll have to do that sometime. People here on ESB saw my version of it, though (with advertisements and all).

    Again, read accounts of the fight like the one I posted if you can't watch the fight again.

    Post it; I want to see it.

    For the record, he has great movement, his foot spped and handspeed are much greater than Vitali's.

    From who? Rahman and Barrett have both been awful for a long time. Barrett was never better than mediocre and is past it. He got stopped by Valuev FFS, and Valuev is horrible. Rahman got his ass embarrassed by an ancient, weak chinned Oleg Maskaev and nearly got knocked out of the ring by him again. The Barrett-Rahman match was one of the most boring fights in years, they both looked like crap.

    By the way, who cares whether or not HAEY got hurt by Barrett? He says he was stunned but that's beside the point. Barrett's power is not good and never has been. Besides that HAEY was dropped and put on ***** street by Lolenga Mock, who had average power at super middleweight

    His supposedly blazing speed doesn't mean he is a good defensive fighter. His defense has numerous gaping holes in it and someone as precise as VITLAI will be able to land. There is absolutely no indication that HAEY will be able to withstand even a handful of hard shots from VITLAI, and VITLAI will be able to land a few with HAEY's suspect defense and natural aggressiveness

    Haye is gonna dominate this fight. Vitali is slow as hell and the last time he fought a fighter with good hand speed was Corrie Sanders. Corrie doesn't have the footspeed that Haye has and Haye is a good counter puncher. After Haye Beats Vitali the Klitschko myth should be put to bed because this will be the first real test he's had, even more so than Lennox Lewis.

    good point and he WAS hurt by sanders in that first round and arguably knocked down. i think he's learned though how to learn back in order to avoid damage. it comes down to haye's gameplan and discipline: if he can stick to a patient, focused strategy of moving in with quick combinations to the head and body and leaving before the counters, he can get work done. but he'll fight on emotion. he'll charge out, get discouraged, abandon the game plan and get ground down in a fight he doesn't want to fight. haye is explosive, vitali is methodical. when haye fights that methodically, he will lose

    Vitali is old and didn't look to good in his last fight, if Haye is any good he can pull the upset IMO.

    Haye was getting stung repeatedly?That differs from your last account of this fight,where you claimed that Barrett had Haye down 3 times

    I don't follow heavy weight very closely so this is a hard one for me to pick. But going on Haye vs Wald that went what? Zero rounds after Haye was TKO'd by his shadow? I don't see that option on the poll, so I'll pass.....

    Klitschko fans were perfectly satisfied that Wlad fought Rahman. But the same people scoffed and discredited Haye for even having the thought of fighting Rahman.

    It's Haye, not HAEY. David Haye had trouble making weight at Cruiserweight, therefore his punch resistance would not be good. It's stronger now at Heavyweight.

    To answer your question, Paulfv said Haye was stunned and hurt by Barrett, I asked for some proof and never got any.

    Vitali has a flawed style as well. Hands down and he pulls back, which is a big no no especially at 38. He won't be able to dodge Haye's punches easily at all and will get hit often.

    I am not ruling out a Vitali KO victory but Haye will definetly see his punches coming and adjust accordingly. Vitali will not be able to deal with the speed of Haye and will find trouble landing on him. Plus Haye has a lot of power and can hurt Vitali, remember, no chin is unbreakable.
