    Just read the moronic garbage this ****** is writing.

    It wasn't just the big right hand that Haye was trying to avoid from Wlad K. After a couple of minutes he realised the guy could do everything, box, hit hard, cut the ring off, move around,whatever you like. That's why he understood that the only thing he could do was try to survive. He totally underestimated W.K to his detriment. He suddenly realised this guy was no fvcking Valuev.

    Anyone who thinks Shavers is within a hundred miles of Wlad K, is beyond help.

    Valuev, Ruiz & Chisora.

    Shavers lost to journeymen several times.

    Haye only has 2 losses (1 against an ATG, and once when he was very green against a seasoned fighter).

    Very true.

    Shavers was very flawed, his stamina and chin were shaky, but Haye is not exactly blessed in those areas either. Which is why he throws punches sparingly.

    Haye's skills are terribly overrated. He has a fast right hand, but his combos consist largely of him rabbit punching the back of his opponent's head. His hand speed is mainly limited to single shots, his combos lack fluidity, speed, and accuracy.

    Haye could show good defense when he focused on it, such as against Wlad, but it came at the expense of his offense.

    Haye barely got past Nicolay Valuev. Nicolay Valuev! :lol:

    A 60 year old Holyfield did better than him.
