    wlad seems to fight scared. i think he lacks that killer instinct. he should've got rid of thompson by the 6th/7th at the latest. i think haye would overwhelm him.

    You should've made this a public poll so we could pick out the haters who want Wlad to retire.

    Povetkin isn't a pushover either ... he's been 12 rounds before and looked fresh ... while doing it.

    Lets not forget that Thompson only had a year of amateur experience at the age of 27 ... and is now in his late 30's ... he hasn't fought anyone who's won a championship --

    Povetkin and Haye wouldve knocked Thompson out with their speed and workrate ... add to that ... they wouldn't respect Thompson's power because he has none.

    He had enough to KO Krasniqi right?

    There is no decline, and if there were, you wouldn't be able to tell based on his last two fights, both against awkward southpaws - one of them not interested in a fight at all, and the other never down before. His next fight against Povetkin will be very different in style. If there were a notable decline, that would be a much better candidate to judge it on.

    Who's he beat?

    That man shouldn't even be mentioned getting knocked out by a guy w/ 16 KO's on his resume ... he's not a knockout artist.

    You shouldn't think about them being southpaws and awkward ... because i'm not taking about his performance ... i'm talking about him getting hit with some bull****, holding alot, and showing these guys so much respect.

    I believe what Haye says about Wlad ... he is tailor made for Haye ...

    I don't give Wlad more than 5 rounds against Haye ... the pace of the fight and the speed will bother Wlad.

    Haye's only worry is that someone else will beat Wlad before he gets the chance to.

    All these people going nuts over Haye really need to cool their jets. He has never fought a heavyweight of any quality. On top of that everyone seems keen on looking at his fight vs Macca, who is a stiff cruiserweight with a known poor chin, while forgetting about how he looked in fights vs Lasse Johanson, Fragomeni, Mormeck before the stoppage, and the lackluster performance he put forward vs Abdoul.

    Haye is very solid, and could very well have an impact on the heavyweight division, but he isn't unbeatable.

    Also people seem to be forgetting that Klitschko has to fight Povetkin, who could very well beat Wladimir.

    I'm sure if Haye's trainer keeps the ref aware of the excessive holding and closes the gap fast on Wlad then he stands the chance of turning the fight in his favor.

    Wlad isn't going to offset the speed --

    I think Haye would trouble Wlad early in spots until Wlad figured out how to score that big right hand from there on out it would be all Wlad.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: Haye should be worried that some journeyman HW lands a solid punch on him and turns him into #1 laughingstock for all boxing pundits.
