Comparing Vitali to Jean Marc Mormeck (Haye's best opponent).

Didn't the fact nobody responded to your **** give you a hint?

 

Haye did not fight to the best of his capacities in that fight. It was obvious

 

Mormeck does have a good style against Haye. Haye struggled with Mormeck, and also at a lower class Fragomeni. What do they have in common? Short, come forward fighters that put pressure on him and don't allow him leverage.

Which fighters did he blast out most impressively? Enzo and Gurov. What do they have in common? Tall, stand up boxers.

We are talking about a completely different animal in Vitali of course. I don't think its going to be so much a styles issue, its simpler. It comes down to Vitali will likely be able to take Haye's shots, whilst the reverse is untrue.

 

In a nutshell :good

 

:huh

Mormeck has good defence.

It is quite clear: Haye is troubled by fighters who are shorter than he is and fight crouched/have a tight guard.

Haye fairs well against boxers who stand up and jab with him.

Styles will not matter in the fight because of Vitali's size and chin.

 

He has trouble with guys that he is punching down on that get inside where he can't get the full extension on punches. Consider that speed and power are his two most important attributes, they become very difficult to use if a guy is in your chest. This is not difficult.

Put somebody rigid and tall and he's performed much better. That's not to say he has a great chance against Vitali, because he's not a tall cruiserweight, he's a giant heavyweight and its an unknown quantity again. But mostly it isn't going to matter about styles.

 

He has a high guard and decent head movement.

Haye found it easier to land his money punch, because he could throw punches over the jab.

What styles do you think Haye fairs well against then?

 

He doesn't think he stands well against any styles. It started out looking like a legit question and boxing thread, but ultimately its agenda ridden as usual.
