    to be honest. wlad fought nothing similar to haye, he fought better boxers but not someone like haye

    fast, powerful, bad defense, bad stamina, bad chin, fast footwork and good ring iq

    ibragimov was fast, powerful, great defense, good stamina, good chin

    ibragimov was better then haye will ever be, but he is a little bit similar to haye

    Chris Byrd from their first fight has some similarities in the way he moves.

    difficult to say...Haye is not faster than Chambers, but he has much better foot speed... probably equally powerful as Brock, but much more mobile and quick on feet...

    im a tad drunk atm but id say corrie sanders. Both hard hitters and good on the inside. wlads best chance is to keep haye at range and get in and out quickly. wlads got the mental edge from what ive seen. Wlad via UD/ late TKO ( the fight is in germany afterall )

    Sanders was a southpaw, his best weapeon was the short right hand, which had a short distance to travel to Wlad's chin. Also, Sanders was a four rounf fighter, threw everything into the early rounds. Haye throws those overhand rights, waited a ,lot against Valuev and Harrison. Sanders was happy to trade with Vitali, had a good HW chin and knew it. Quite different fighters IMO.

    I don't think Haye has a good ring IQ. His gameplans are good, but he doesn't make adjustments.

    Totally different fighters. Your right, Sander had NO fear whatsoever. He was also much faster in the hands, southy, and more power than ever Wlad or Vitali. But yeah, a 4 rounder and slowing through the later rounds.

    As for resembling Haye I'd say Castillo or Brock. Similar power and speed, although I think Haye will push the fight more than those guys did. Castillo fought scared from the opening bell, and Brock, well, I think he was hoping for Wlad to tire.

    WTF happened to Brock anyways. The guy was top notch athlete, and couldv'e continued to make noise in the division. Shame he lost his nerve when he lost his 0.
