I know, I think people dont appreciate just how effective Wlad is at what he does. Haye can win, but I think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves. Wlad is very one dimensional, but what he does well, is hard to negate, or has been thus far, and to beat him is not as simplistic as, moving laterally, not standing infront of him like his previous opponents have done.
Wlad will never have faced a fighter like Haye ... crablike style and very quick with power .... Wlad is the best at what he does and thats work behind the jab with the big str8 right to follow... i just think Haye has the tools to undo Wlad.. it will be tough but I think hayes smart enough to work it out ... Either way the fights on and were all buzzing 4 months before it happens ...
I bet he has, I reckon Wlad will of sparred with guys like Haye numerous times, the Kronk gym has probably had it fair share of slick fighters, not that Haye is slick, but he does fight with a wide stance, likes to draw leads so he can counter. Chris Byrd is probably just as awkward than Haye, if not more so. I do think Haye can win dont get me wrong.
Not according to Adam "Dark Lord" Booth! He has seen the fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsvPNXsfIiQ[/ame]
Quality RJ avi 'Johnson Knows', one of my favourite artists and some of the most mind blowing music I have ever heard :good Beeston I agree. The date still isn't set and he's pulled out before. I'll believe Haye has the balls when ibsee him opposite Wlad as the bell rings, about 4-7 minutes before he gets wasted :yep Ishy, So true. Still, no reference to 'PEDs' so it could be worse.
Chris Byrd was just flat out better. Byrds ability+ Hayes dig=Genuine shot at beating Wlad. People have been waiting for someone to spice up the div for so long they're clutching onto Haye. He simply ain't good enough.
To be honest I'm kinda expecting it to happen this time. Haye has said to Buncey that he doesn't care what boxing fans think of him but that's obviously complete bollocks. He knows, Klitschko or no credibility...... win or lose. I'd respect him far more if he fights and gets blown away than if he'd carried on doing what he was doing and fighting the likes of Fraudley. It's like Ricky Hatton, sure he lost to Mayweather and Pacquiao but at least got in there..... he had to fight Floyd really but could easily have given Pacquiao the swerve for a variety of reasons.
Yep. Depending on how they get on, a fighter can prove more in a losing effort against a top fighter than he can beating ten very decent fighters. We know Ricky wasn't the no.1 P4P of his generation. But better giving it a go. If Haye had retired without fighting at least one (had to be Wlad to really prove himself IMO) he wouldve been regarded as an absolute joke. He might get blown away, but better than just having the resume he did. Wlad coulda' beaten every contender put in front a him. No one wouldve blamed him and in the grand scheme of things, Haye would be pretty much forgotten about. Mormeck, Enzo, Barrett, Valuev and Ruiz do not a legend make :deal
Spent the last few evenings watching Wlad fights on youtube,Haye's left hook will do the damage,I am certain he will drop shot that straight right,and boom Haye will detonate his chin! SPEED is the key!
