Fans of "The Psycho Killer"

Have justified what I believe to be a relatively poor performance tonight by saying 'A big man like that was always going to pose problems".

In order to restore some consistency, do these same people acknowledge that Haye faced a similar problem against Valuev? This fight, to my astonishment, is always referenced by Haye's detractors as if to discredit him.

 

I tend to think Valuev was a much tougher opponent than the version of Michael Grant we saw fight your countryman tonight, Pummler.

 

Absolutely not. I think I credited Valuev with maybe three rounds during the entire fight. He didn't really land anything telling or noteworthy in those rounds, Haye just didn't throw anything himself. I find the idea of people scoring that fight for Valuev unbelievable. It keeps me up at nights. Seriously.

I also think Haye's opponent was more credible than the shot version of Grant we all watched telegraph all of his punches tonight. His performance was lackadaisical, I couldn't believe the fight would actually become competitive after several rounds. It was almost like Grant had forgotten how to box, altogether. He was being out-jabbed by Adamek. :huh

 

Largely irrelevant considering Nikki didn't land a clean, solid punch the entire 12 rounds of his fight with David Haye.

 

I honestly don't see what this has to do with what we are discussing. Indulge me, please.

 

Whereas, in complete contrast, Grant was a picture of health and superior athleticism tonight.
