David Haye has the intangibles of a great champion

The Klitchkos are so overrated. They are not invincible they are a couple of overgrown brothers from the Eastern Block

Speed kills old boy. Don't worry you will see soon enough

 

Exactly

 

Haye is definitely a charismatic and likable dude who has the potential to be a cross-over star, but so do the Klitschko's. In Germany etc, they are cross over stars and have been for a while

Humor and charisma are very hard to channel through a fourth language and I think this is why the Klitschkos are less marketable in the states and in England

Haye's hype train is good for boxing cause it generates interest, especially with a Klitschko showdown looming...hopefully in the states!

 

It's gotta be a vegas fight

 

Remember Haye didn't spar for a month before the fight, that would be a reason for the not so polished performance we saw.

One problem for me is Haye always says he wants to retire by 31, which only means he will be around for 2 more years. He should stay around longer and try and dominate the division, I have a feeling if he beats both Klits he will retire.

 

No one with a brain thinks they or any fighter is invincible, matey. Also, Wlad is much, much faster than many people give him credit for. His jab alone will stop Haye. Honestly, there's no way Haye get's past they left hand if he doesn't change his defensive still right quick. Even Ruiz popped him with some good jabs, Wald will tear him apart.

P.S. It's the K Brothers who have been holding up this fight, and now that Haye has deliberately subjected himself to the WBA circle jerk, odds are we'll never see this fight. Next up, Valuev again, then the winner of Chagaev vs. Mehan, then who knows.

 

Another david Haye fight and another excuse from his fans for why he didnt look all that great in there... The truth is he is who he is and that is a powerful sloppy fighter with a pouros defence and reflexes to mostly hide this when fighting old men.

 

LOL a haye fan talking about someone being overrated atsch when was the last time haye has fought someone not 34+ years old and on the decline.. Well maybe hell fight holyfield to complete his show athletic superiority over old faded fighters. Mormeck, Barrett, Valuev and Ruiz.. All his " best wins" come from washed up old men but hey he is the one who is not overrated right.. atsch:nut

 

David Haye is the best thing to happen to boxing for several years

 

Haye-Ruiz was more exciting than Wlad's last 5 fights put together.

The sooner these boring robotic neanderthal freaks are put away, the better - for the entire sport of boxing.

 

This is an improvement.

 

Wladimir Klitschko fan fill 50 and 60 thousand seat stadiums when he fights. The division doesn't need a "savior".

 

Only in Kraut land....let's face it that's hardly an achievement, Hasselhoff and Hitler filled arenas in that God-forsaken place.

 

This can only go so far in gaining popularity and putting boxing in the media and getting it talked about all over the world, the fighter has got to be able to back it up in the ring before people willstart to listen.

 

Like someone else said, none of this matters if he doesn't have all of the basic qualities required to be a dominant HW champion. (imo he falls short on stamina, chin and natural body mass)

I love the fact that he's spiced up the division and like him as a fighter but he's not a great heavyweight champion in the making...
