David Haye - Vitali Klitschko....Does anyone else fear revisionism after the fight?

Would you say these things if Vitaly wins?

Think about it, because if you will then this thread is hypocritical.

 

You'll get revisionism either which way really, it's just how people cope with a loss from their favoured fighter.

All that emotion is part of the reason why you get a best handle on a fight's worth and a fighter's career well after it's finished.

I think Haye is genuinely not scared of getting knocked out by Vitali. He sees the benefits to be gained, the attention and credit he'll have from taking the fight in the first place, the cash to be made.

When you don't have that fear of losing, little holds you back. Haye knows that doors will open for him if he wins or loses (arguably more if he loses!)

 

Great post, I was thinking the same.
When Haye beats Vitali, it will be...
"Vitali was old and inactive etc etc."
That is just the way ESB works.

 

What a pile of steaming horse**** this post is. Boxing is an entertainment. Wlad is ****ing boring to watch - unlike his brother. Why does sitting through very very dull fights mean you are a true fan of boxing? Yawn. You can hit and not be hit and still be exciting... if you are not frozen rigid with terror that your glass jaw might get shattered that is.

 

Go get em.

Your fears seem to be misplaced

 

You yourself seem to give Haye little chance as you are saying it will be a massive upset victory if he wins.
Frankly I see no chance for Haye. I listened to Haye's fight with Barrett on the radio and it sounded impressive. However upon actually seeing the fight later on youtube, I am very sceptical of Haye's chances against either Klitschko. I can appreciate Haye will pose a more complex problem to Vitali than Sam Peter did. However I do think Haye will have a serious problem hitting Vitali cleanly on the chin and most certainly will not have the power to stop him IMO. I do not see Haye having the speed and accuracy required to outbox Vitali without leaving himself open which will lead to the inevitable stoppage. So to me either way Haye cannot win either on pts or by KO, whether he fights aggressively or in a controlled manner. I think Haye's chances depend solely upon one factor and that is whether Vitali's body holds up, and I feel that this is where the four year layoff has actually done him some good. Vitali seems to have recuperated in this time and seems to have overcome the injury setbacks and looks set to continue his domination alongside his brother.

 

haye has balls...but why would americans do that knowing they will more than likely get ****ed on a dec.

 

Haye is a "live contender" and that's it. By all rights the Klits are doctors, mainly nutritionists, so they are a very healthy crop. Roy Jones Jr. vs John Ruiz was a very good lesson on speed. I thought Ruiz would whip Jones because of the size advantage. Well, I was wrong. The speed was the factor but the fight would have turned around in the 2nd half if Randy Neuman wasn't the referee. He was clearly paid off, IMO. Ruiz was doing good body work but the ref was breaking them up so prematurely.

 

It's ESB tradition for people to talk bollocks, then when they're disproven backtrack.

 

So... Vitali standing at range, beating on Peter for round after round, with no threat whatsoever coming from Peter... and the fight ending in 9 rounds without any real exciting action other than Peter just getting punched in the face.... was so much more exciting than Wlad's recent fights? That tells me something. Either A, you simply hate Wlad. Or B, you didn't EXPECT Vitali to beat Peter like that, so it made it exciting for you, and you obviously expect Wlad to be a great fighter, so it isn't exciting when he simply dominates his opponents and stops them.

Either way, your point of view is baseless.

 

No matter how much anyone dislikes it, prime Golota was the most exciting heavy in the past 15 years. Golota wasted his prime with mental instability.

 

If Haye beats Vitali fair n' square in a good fight, he has to be the goods. I'll hop right onto the Haye bandwagon. If he gets some kinda' potshot runnning around sd, I'll respect his abilities and acknowledge his win, but he won't gain a fan.
