I am not sure if he can take one of those bombs what I can say is that Haye is fast enough hits hard enough to counter that lazy ****ing Jab Klitschko started out with in round one, that is what will give him a chance in this fight his speed reflexes and his power is good enough to avoid being hit with those shots while scoring his own. Honestly I think Haye beats Wlad Klitschko~
Honestly to me Wlad didnt look that much better, Ruslan had the right idea, but he just didnt adjust in the fight, he needed to be moving to his right I have no idea what he was thinking, anyhow wasnt really impressed with Wlad, every time Ruslan got close Wlad would try to run or lean on him, that is not what you want to see out of the Heavyweight Champion. You want to see the man set his feet and catch the smaller man comming in, instead we saw just how un sure of himself Wlad is, this has been the case since Lamon destroyed him, Wlad simply does not beleive in himself.
Well considering Haye was supposed to be in the ring tonight until his back gave out which he never showed medical proof to Team Klitschko........
Haye will easily beat wlad. Was not impressed with him tonight. Haye has much more power and speed and will easily catch wlad
I think that while both men are very good fighters Haye is underrated and dismissed and small and weak chined while Wladimir is overrated and is seen as this unstoppable machine. Ruslan isn't a great fighter in fact i'd rate him a B level fighter. Wladimir hasn't faced anyone that pressures him or for that matter an A-AAA fighter in a long time. I think Haye would rattle Wladimir and find his way in and put some serious heat on him. Klitschko doesnt always respond to well to getting hit hard and pressure so I see Haye winning the fight by KO late. Wlad's big and powerful and somewhat slick but he's also very rigid and stiff and fights lazy. To bad the fight will probably never happen.
I said it before. It wasn't that Vlad was good, Chag was bad. Chag seen what was getting him hit and he failed to adjust. He kept walking into Vlad's right hand all night. As far as Haye, hopefully we'll see. Chag is probably playing the fight over and over in his mind knowing if he would step to his right and mix it up a bit instead of the left all night, he'll have a chance. Personally, I think he would have won some rounds, but Vlad would win anyway.
Haye would have been gone in less than 3 rounds. ****, he couldn't take the punches of supermiddleweights and old cruisers. Wlad (or Vitali for that matter) will annihilate him. Probably several other top rated HWs too. Haye's chin at HW = Grade AAA china.
Cosign. My problem with Vlad is he doesn't finish his opponents off as often as he should. Chagev was hurt badly a few times and Vlad didn't go for the kill.
david haye would have landed some leather on wlad....how could he not do better than chagaevs pitiful performance
Man, it wasn't Chag that was bad, Wlad was just that good. He makes guys look bad, because he controls distance so well with his jab.
When your oppenent circles to be in line for your power hand, it really dont get any more novice than that. Chagaev did everything wrong in his fight with Wlad, from trying to box with Wlad at a distance to laying on the ropes doing nothing while Wlad unloaded punch after punch. Chagaev did worse than Brock, Thompson, Rahman, Peter, and Iggy. I at least had these guy winning a round or more.
Exactly. That's the story of this fight. Wlad is simply head and shoulders above the rest of the guys out there. And the idea that Haye would have done better - particularly with his questionable punch resistance - is ludicrous. Haye is about as overrated as it gets. Reminds me of Michael Grant in the late 90s. Same thing's gonna happen when he steps it up too.:yep
