    RDJ would love the fight that was just on Sky Sports.

    Charles Adamu SD Karl Dilkes.

    Adamu threw 500 punches and missed with 450 of them.

    I don't mind hit and not get hit, for the umpteenth time I did not expect Haye to stand and trade. Throwing a measly 140 punches over 12 rounds is the other extreme though. I acknowledge that he won against Valuev, because Valuev was ineffective. I'm not a Holyfield fan by the way, and I don't value ineffective aggressiveness either.

    And perhaps it was a psychologic trick, but why would I care about that? I don't rate Ali's shittalking either, if you can't back up your words you're nothing but a loudmouth.

    Fail. I would applaud him for trying though, unless he threw them at a distance where his punches were bound to hit air, like Johnson did.

    He mostly kinda ducked his head down to his waist and drove forward in the general direction of his opponent whilst performing a kind of scything front crawl style rotation with his arms. Some of the punches literally missed by yards and I think the 9% connection rate the punch stats gave him may have been generous.

    Nice description :lol:

    Nine percent is pathetic. What weirded me out was the damage those "punches" did to Vitali's face, unreal. He looked like he had been in a fight. I bleed below the skin myself quite easily as well, at the moment I have a left over shiner and a blue ear, but that was quite extreme.

    Your description reminded me of the way Arreola throws punches by the way, hard to describe but I can do a great impression in sparring :lol:

    Haye threw fewer punches than Johnson! Haye fans claim his is the greatest heavyweight in boxing history!

    And when he threw, the British fans applauded missing punches and petty jabs to the stomach. Looking it again, even round twelve evolves around a single punch basically.

    I very much doubt it. :huh

    Stop trying to hate David Haye just because the USA or whatever country you are from doesn't have any talked about heavyweights at the moment and the ones that are talked about are getting banged by the Klits.

    He did what he had to do to get a win in a country that would of happily given it the Giant for just standing there, he couldn't trade with this guy. Look at the size and weight difference. It was said afterwards that nobody, ever, in boxing history had given away so much weight and still won a fight. Boring as it may be, he still won, and he was pretty much untouched. So shut the **** up. :thumbsup

    You are ignoring some of the logic the posts detail and just play the nationality card in an effort to discredit what some of the UK posters are trying to tell you.

    Throwing twice as many "don't hit me punches", most of them being jabs and landing **** all, is not as effective as making the other fighter miss and counter with harder, more accuate shots. En route to a title I may add.

    Just because Haye didn't win the title according to your standards and ignoring the way Haye has fought during his career, is pathetic.

    So what?

    Haye won a title and Johnson barely won a round!

    And no, we're not claiming he is the greatest heavyweight in history you ****ing moron.

    No, they don't. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You total ****ing idiot. Nobody claims him to be the greatest heavyweight boxer in history. Where the **** did you get that from?

    And Johnson didn't throw punches, those were more likely little ***** jabs to try and get the Klit away from him because he was so ****in' scared. Haye won the fight, Johnson got the **** kicked out of him, stopping comparing the fighters and the fights. Just because Haye isn't american you don't have to hate on him. But I guess you must be pretty upset because every single American heavyweight getting talked about is just getting the **** kicked out of them... :think

    Holyfield weighed less than Haye and did not run, but was robbed :think

    Valuev is 36 years old, slow, non-athletic, not a big puncher, does not possess much ring generalship and is predictable as ****. Stop acting like he's some superhuman that can only be beaten by running and posing.

    One hundred forty punches, most of which hit Valuev's arms, and some scared jabs to the stomach to win a title. Sad.

    They like their stats, don't they?
    Here's one for you.
    Farmboxer has made 17500+ posts. 99.9% of them garbage.
