Hey Ding, what do you think of WBO champ Enzo Maccarinelli? He certainly hits hard and I think you and him could have a great war. I'd certainly love to see you fight over here in the UK and I think you could take Enzo out as your power is frickin' awesome :bbb

So what do you think, WBO Cruiserweight Championship sound good to you Ding?

Hey ding! I want to congratulate you for your great KO win against Nwodo!! I only saw the KO, but that was a great one!! I would like you to come to germany and kick Hucks ass, hes good but i dont like him hes an ******* and needs to get his ass beaten!! :bbb Im shure he would be so stupid and trade punches with you and you would knock him ou cold!

Darnell, you have every right to be proud of the Nwodo win. That was a special victory, he had every advantage over you that night, even power. Congrats again. :good

That said, I think Enzo and Mormeck beat you. Haye seems to gas out, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in terms of your sleeping problems.

Adamek vs Ding would be interesting too. I think you'd take out Arslan and possibly Cunningham (but that is a risky fight). Best of luck in the future, and start training full-time...you're the **** bro. :good

I'd call it a 50-50 fight.

Povetkin is naturally the more intelligent and polished fighter. He fights smarter and is technically more correct.

Haye is perhaps the more talented and dynamic. Hayes assets in height and reach coupled with his speed to power ratio presents a devastating package. This is before the skill is thrown in. Haye has however clearly shown he has learnt from his experience and fights a much smarter fight.

At this point I think Haye has the experience edge. Haye has had Abdoul, Fragemoni and Bonin come to him with that orthodox text book hands up approach. There you see the two ways Haye will beat Povetkin. He'll catch him early, he'll catch him late and if power doesn't come through he'll be leading on the cards.

Haye is a boxer-puncher. He'll go into half guard, pick you off with that jab, set up power shots and break you down with body shots. Now Haye has heat on all his punches EVEN his jab! Bonin couldn't take it, Fragemoni unbelievably could but only for so long. The shots that Italian took to head and body are unbelievable.

I'm not sure on the intangiables. Can Povetkin take Hayes shot? Haye has already displayed phenomonal power from early to late in the fight. Povetkin hasn't shown those sort of whiskers. Hayes power is a neutraliser for the entire bout.

Povetkin hasn't shown us anything scintillating yet. He doesn't look particularly fast, strong or powerful. Then again, others have appeared this way but gone far i.e. Juan Diaz. That is because this is the pros. I think Povetkin is already showing the sort of moves and approach to bode well in the pros.

Stylistically it's a good boxer v brawler. Haye is continously improving and learning from his experience. His workrate over the course of a fight looks better and better. Note the impressive improvement from the Johansson fight to the Fragemoni fight. This leads me to believe by the time he fights Povetkin he'll be something to behold.

I also haven't included the fact this fight would be at heavy where Haye would weigh an impressive 215 to 220! Haye has said time and time again he struggles to make weight. He has to cut one stone and drains himself quite a bit. At 200 he considers himself 70% of the fighter he is at heavy. He says his speed and reflexes aren't as sharp as he'd like them to be. See him say all of this in the interviews after Fragemoni and Bonin.

Haye as a fresh fighter at heavy takes the win via ko or UD. Especially if he comes past Mormeck. Haye has the edge in talent and versatility. I think over 12 it would be telling and that is if Povetkin even survives the first round. That is the sort of power Haye has.

Haye used to rush **** like Wlad did but even now that he sits back like Wlad the kos are still coming because they are simply devastating punchers. Put Haye in Winning gloves and he's still ringing bells.

Don't be suprised if Povetkin drums out a methodical consistent accumulative attack where workrate sees him take the W!

Are you serious? :scaredas:

Povetkin would tear David a new one, it would be ugly.

We haven't spoken before, though I wished you "GOOD LUCK!" before your last fight in a thread, like most of us have.

Ding, we all here are very proud of you.

We respect the fact that you keep it real by chatting with the rest of the fans!

Congratulations for the KO of the year!

I wish you good health and success and that you keep that cool head!

...And Relentless is right, body shots are not to be underestimated.
