^Why didn't you vote for em then? lol I did! Seriously though, it's going to be hard to tell until Haye get's in the ring with some of the bigger punchers that Wlad has so far... Neither has been knocked out yet, so it's anybodys to win!
I think Haye's problem is that he throws wild shots going for the kill which leaves his chin exposed. that's why he was knocked down a few times. If you put KO effort in a punch it is very dangerous you get caught doing that and your force + force of the opponents punch = knock down or out. having said that I don't think his chin is good, I'd say it's average. I suspect Gamboa has the same problem as Haye. Vladimir is a different story ...
I would saye they are more or less equal at Heavyweight, Wlad can be knocked out by a decent heavyweight punch and I think also Haye would be too, no doubt about it. Saying that, Lennox lewis was knocked out by a single punch so it really does not mean a great deal if you have a decent skill set. Haye is more likely to get knocked out because of his style but yeah.......I would rate them pretty equally.
I hope you're talking in a P4P sense here, because other than that, there's no comparison, Wlad's is clearly better. There is no chance Lolenga Mock, former SMW, is putting Wlad on Chicken Dance Ave. like he did to Haye. Wlad's not even easy to get off of his feet, and he usually falls from getting psyched out and panicking. Haye just has a crap chin. If Haye took the shots Wlad did from Corrie Sanders he would be in a coma right now.
Wlad easily. He has fought his entire career at heayweight and taken shots from genuine heavies who can punch. He got up from big shots from Sanders and he took punches from Peter, Brock etc etc. Haye was hurt by a super middle and badly, he was dropped heavily from Mormeck and Thompson. None of those guys punch like any number of the heavies Wlad has taken punches from. I have never seen one shot shake Wlad as badly as two single punches in different fights had Haye hurt and that includes the bombs Sanders landed. Wlad has a FAR better chin than Haye, but it is still vunerable and Haye has the power to KO him no doubt.
Haye has been put down by Lolenga Mock, who is a career SMW, Carl Thompson and Mormeck, not sure if there are any others. Wlad has been put down by a handfull of heavyweights. Wlad was last put down on 2005, Haye in 2007. Neither have been knocked out cold or for the count of ten. I'd say they are pretty similar.
