I see all this crap about Peter being a harder fight for Haye and that he'd rather go for Wlad. Seriously, who has Peter knocked out besides GlasKaev? Who is the harder fight?
Wlad is the tougher fight. Both are tough fights for Haye that he would likely lose or at the very least start as an underdog.
Good question. Wlad has been stopped 3 times so Haye obviously fancies his chances. Peter had never actually been stopped. Peter is the harder opponent until he gets stopped..................
Wlad is by far the harder fight. Wlad has a longer reach and better skills than Peter. Also he is faster than Peter. Peter would be easier for Haye because he can stay on the outside with Peters short reach and move in and out since he is much faster than Peter. I think both KO Haye, but Wlad I can say 99.99% KO's Haye.
i have been following david haye since 2005, and from what i have seen, stylistically, for as long as it lasts, samuel peter would give haye a much harder fight than wlad would. wlad is too predictable, and he's taller. these two things play a major role for david. david struggles against short, round shouldered guys who can take a punch and can hit back hard(er) against tall guys (for as long as it lasts) haye shouldnt have too much of a problem with the size.
I think Haye has more chance of stopping Wlad early (inside 3) so i think Peter is the tougher fight for him.
Haye's speed, height and reach advantage would suggest that Peter would be easier, no? Not to mention that Peter is much less skilled than Wlad. On the other hand, Peter has that big punch and he'll take a few to land his. I'd still go with Wlad as the harder fight.
I could see Peter being the harder fight. He's much more aggressive. That doesn't mean that I think Haye would beat either of them. I just see Peter bullying him and pushing him around while Klitschko is cautious and leaves opportunities. Both would beat him in my mind right now. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see how Haye operates against top heavyweight opposition. I was really impressed with him in his last CW fight.
Peter is a joke showing up at 253, Haye could box box and wait for Peter to tire then take him out, Wlad is faster, more skilled, and much more versatile a fighter.
haye would have a field day literaly with peter, he would land too many power shots, and he would move way to quick for plodding peter it would be like a heavy bag work, but the bag is slowly rolling towards you where ever you move
