I think Haye will look very good for about three rounds. After that, he doesn't have the gas or the chin to keep it up.
mass x acceleration = power. Haye may have speed, but that speed comes at a great price. Fast twitch muscle is very susceptible to fatigue. Valuev has the endurance of a long distance runner. All he has to do is be slow and steady and apply the "pizza face" plan. Haye will fall.
The Klitschkos keep selling out arenas. 60 000 wanted to see Wlad when Haye cancelled. Vitali - Arreola was a huge success for HBO. Haye is not anywhere near that level of marketing success. Haye is not charismatic, he comes across as someone who tries to be funny and fails miserably at it. The monster mask for the Valuev - stand in at the press conference was one of the worst attempts at failed humor I have seen in boxing. Toney is funny, Ali was a poet with his trash talking. Haye shows the mental faculites of a third grader with his remarks about Valuev.
Name one fight Haye has had stamina problems since the Thompson fight people? Its all I keep reading and there is no recent evidence to support this. It is of much relevance now as Hatton having a granite chin bc he walked through Tszyu right hands all night in that fight, in that it has NO relevance whatsoever!
How many times had Wlad sold 60000 seats prior to his fight with Haye? I'll naswer that one for you 0. It was Hayes promotion of the fight the T-shirt/press conferences/abuse etc that sold the seats. Including the estimated 10000 Brits that were making the trip. Unfortunately injuries are all part of the game, but Haye will give the Klits there beating IF they decide to negotiate realistically. They tried their hardest to worm out of a rescheduled fight with Haye, hence why we're seeing Haye Vs Valuev (which Haye is being paid twice as much for). They can't hide forever though
so you reckon Haye called out, chased and harrassed the Klitschkos for months then made up an injury to avoid the fight You're priceless!! You'll see Hayes intentions in his post fight interview after he sparks the BIG un, he's gonna be all over them Klits like chicken pox!
...after Barrett nearly landed every overhand right he threw. If he had more accuracy and power he would have finished the fight earlier. Just a reminder, the overhand right is Hayes bread and butter stuff, and he has more accuracy and power than Barrett. You can workt the rest out.
So let me get this straight, you aren't a fan of KO's? I mean, you realize the Klitschkos KO just about everyone they fight right?
Roughly 54 or so people requested a refund when Haye got sand in his vagina and pulled out of the fight. 54, and those are probably Haye's immediate family and a few jerks that post here.
