I'm a fan of haye but he doesn't have the punching power that Wlad does. I'd really like to see that monster fall just for the spectacle of it, but I think Wlad is the only one with the punching power to do it
I'm not sure about that, Monte Barrett said Haye's power is pretty similar to Klitschko's. I'm not sure Wladimir would be standing there all night firing off rockets. When has he fought a guy more physically imposing than himself? He's a cautious man by nature, he wouldn't be looking to damage Valuev he'd be looking to win the fight first and foremost.
wlad destroyed barret in 7 rounds. dropped him 3 or 4 times. valuev does not have fast muscle twitch fibers. thats why he punchs slow and ko anyone with one punch. wlad does. when wlad was young he was an offensive machine. i got most of his fights.
The real WBA champion is Chagaev. Haye is a disgrace, he lost the fight. I saw it live and Jim Watt said that Haye could not win the fight by just running and not throwing punches. In some rounds Haye did not land a single punch, but Haye knew he had the best judges money can buy. Now Haye will avoid all top fighters. He is a joke. No wonder Haye backed out of his fights with Vitali and Vlad.
I think Wlads height and reach would have been the big difference against Valuev, perhaps Haye does have similiar power; but it's a different story when you're punching so far up, Wlad wouldn't be reaching so far and would utilise his power more efficiently
Vlad is quicker than Haye also, but Vitali really wants to fight Haye very badly, however, looks as if Haye will never fight Vitali or Vlad. Vitali or Vlad would knock Valouev out.
Farmboxer, every thread its the same ****, you dont need to keep reposting it, you dont rate haye, great. Dont have to keep posting the same ****. And Wlad is not quicker than Haye.
haye I believe punches harder than both brothers. they are heavy handed but aren't big punchers. can you see Arreola taking straight rights from Haye? not a chance.
Me too but I never thought the fight would get made. In some ways its because Valuev's handlers believed what several did here about Haye being little challenge that they want for him I think.
Haye may have similar power to Wlad, but his chin is much weaker, so its why Haye try to avoid punches exchange. Haye will not improve his chin, so he is improving his defence. We saw it in his last fight, where he was running all the fight and was hard to hit.
Exactly. If that hand wasn't knackered in the third round then it could have been a differernt story. Just look how he put the big man on ***** street with a left.
