David Hayes Chances

You're in dreamland. Vitali is 38, Haye is fighting Valuev and the winner has to face Ruiz.

In all likelihood Vitali will retire within the next 12-18 months. Haye never wanted a piece of Vitali. The fight won't happen and you won't ever see Haye mention Vitali's name again, just so people forget how he dodged this bullet.

 

IMO, Haye is a HW fraud and I expect him to lose to Valuev. He talks all kinds of **** then bottles fights. He has to prove me wrong before I give him any credit which I would do...

 

To quote "Don King" his chances are NONE & SLIM & slim's left town:smoke

 

Vitali has never even been knocked down and Haye has nothing that Vitali won't shrug off before knocking Haye's head into the fourth row after abusing him for a few rounds to punish him for mouthing off.

Of course Haye will never fight either Klit brother anyway.

 

Thats just disrespectful. Haye was a world champion and no matter what your opinion of his level he is a professional fighter. Any boxer who has the balls to step into a ring has the heart of a lion.

However, I've watched Haye for a good few years now and also agree he is conning the public by claiming to be one of the elite Heavyweights. His chin is genuinely suspect and just can't hack it at that level. :bbb

 

I don't hate him but I think he wanted out. He has to prove me wrong. I didn't say he was a fraud boxer. I said he was a HW Fraud. He proved he was a real quality CW with his wins over Fragomeni, Mormeck and Enzo. However, I don't give credit for that at HW. He starts from ground zero and all he's done is beat Monte Barrett in 18 months.

His wild style makes him extremely vulnerable as a HW. Moreover, his stamina and punch resistance are huge ? at 200+....

 

What people don't seem to understand is that the Klitschkos, but especially Vitali uses his height advantage extremely well, possibly better than anyone else currently in boxing. Vitali is very well balanced so he can get easily out of harm's way.

What Haye doesn't have at all, is good balance. The Klitschkos punish the first time they see or sense a gap or opening, and Haye regularly loses balance (and often almost falls down) when he's missing with a punch (or the punch is being slipped).

This is horrible news for Haye, who started as a CW, and didn't have a good chin even at CW (and Barrett legitimately scored a knockdown that wasn't credited).

This fight is so easy for the Klitschkos, especially for the iron-chinned Vitali who goes for the opening instantly. I seriously doubt Haye could see the 3rd round.

 

We need to know if Haye has got the same power at HW as he had at CW. From what I've seen of him at various promotions, he certainly is bulking up. The Valuev fight will tell us a lot about his strength at the higher weight. IF he somehow manages to KO Valuev then the Klits are in big trouble.
