Wladimir would knock Valuev sparks out, there's a reason team Valuev avoided it. Valuev was stunned against Chagaev, Ruiz, Barrett, Donald and whoever else I'm missing. I'm sure Holyfield stunned him as well but can't remember.
Wladimir easily,he put Chambers,Thompson,Brock to sleep with one punch,whens Haye last done that? Audley Harrison was stopped on his feet lol
Yes but Chambers or Thompson didn't have snot swinging from their nose. Haye knocks the snot out of you!
Haye is a 1-hit stun artist who finishes people with more than 1 punch. Wlad is a 1-hit ko artist, big difference. If Wlad fought like a young Foreman no doubt in my mind he would win but even with his cautious style of recent times he still can outbox Haye and should be the huge favorite. As far as Haye stunning Valuev, Vitali and Wladimir hit much harder than Haye and would knock the caveman out cold especially with Vitali's aggressive style.
there is a genuine argument that wlad has the most powerful straight right in history; not p4p but overall. I struggle to think of a knokcout artist as big as wlad aside from vitali and he's more of an accumulation puncher.
How id it possible to know that Haye's got good/great KO power at heavyweight ? He's fought 4 times at HW : A-Force- TKO Ruiz-TKO Valuev-MD Barrett-TKO No KO, 3 TKO and one decision. Who did he TKO ? An aging Ruiz, an aging Barrett who gets KOed every 2 years and I won't talk about Audley. I understand that it's not because he's got a weak resumé at heavy that he's not that good, but I still think it's all hype. I don't expect a competitive match up at all.
Wlad puts guys to sleep with single shots. Also when he hits a HW their whole body moves. Once Haye feels the power of that jab he will know how hard wlad hits.
