Haye can hit hard yes but can he get to Wlads chin? don't think so:think also haye says Wlad has never faced anyone as fast as him and I think Chambers and Bird were faster than Haye and we all seen what happened there , Wlad deals with speed well by keeping them on the end of his punches and his foot work is very under rated. I think haye will soon find out why Wlad is who he is:!: Fast as chambers ?:huh....??
Haye is no where close to being as fast as Chambers or Byrd, he hits harder though so it averages out. The bad thing for Haye is they all have better chins than him.
Yeah, I thought he dominated Dimitrenko, but I wasn't too impressed by his speed. Obviously it stood out against the sluggish Dimitrenko, but I don't think he was faster than Haye.
Hand speed wise Chambers is faster but Haye is more mobile. Overall it is hard to say who is faster Haye or Byrd but Haye is bigger and more explosive although byrd have much better reflexes(just my opinion). And Haye is definitely slower hand speed wise than Sanders he is also smaller and lesser puncher. Sanders during his prime was very mobile also even though you can't tell from Wlad fight.
He isn't as fast nor is he as explosive as Haye, which is as important as anything else against Wlad. It's easy to look fast against the type of guys Chambers was facing, Haye was very quick at cruiserweight, and looked as much against guys in reasonably good condition.
