yet a shot monte barrett was able to land his jab at will and connect on some weak ass looping shots on lightning fast Haye. Barrett was also able to physically bully Haye around the ring when he wanted. This fight is gonna be a blowout. Haye is a hw slugger. He is not a good boxer. He fights in spurts and is sloppy. Vitali will make him pay who has always been a very intelligent boxer. He will catch Haye swinging for the fences and shoot down with that huge right hand.
Just like in his prime it took him several rounds to dispose of a far less capiable opponent in danny williams
Barrett was never a top 10 hw even in his prime. I can rank at least 20 guys in front of him today. it was a decent win but it doesn't make him some dominant hw like he, Booth and many of his loyal sackswingers claim.
So far, 10 ******s voted in this thread. I need to see a little more at HW by Haye before even giving him a punchers chance against Vitali.
Hmmm...I am pretty sure we have seen this before. Let me see, let me see... Oh yeah this is it... ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr31h8gFW7U
Seems like they are rushing Haye, one heavy fight vs Barrett who was just KO'd in 2 by a journyman.....Vitali could be stretched if pushed and speed does mean something but Haye needs a test
That Haye's speed and power carried well up into the HW and that he can take at least one punch without doing a Khan impression. Although Barrett was never a heavy hitter and because he throws rather wide he was never the fastest. I was expecting Haye-Barrett to closely mirror Holyfield-Tillis and it did to a point, but Barrett was no Tillis.
Haye's the new Micheal Grant and you heard it here first. I don't think rookie Haye is as good as the rookie Grant. At least Grant came back to beat a game Golota. He's going to hit the canvas alot at heavy.
Stop comparing david haye to herbie hide lol it's just laughable, herbie hide was not the build power or speed of haye. Hide was like a pumped up light heavy jeff lacy he's not cut from the same cloth as Haye. haye has to lose weight Hide had to eat like a pig and gain weight just to make cruiser let alone heavy.
