I don't like people giving Wlad **** for not maning up and taking this fight just because he was challenged or called out by a guy in a mall. In professional boxing fights happen when it financially makes sense...yes right now Haye Wlad is probably the best fight in the heavyweight division but Wlad is not going to accept the fight until Haye has gained a larger following, which he can only do by getting some legitament heavyweight wins under his belt....So Wlad is in a position where he can't look good because he can't take the fight until a later date. Haye on the other hand can't look bad cause the worst thing that can happen is that he has to fight a few fights at heavy before he gets his title shot....and that what he said he was expecting to do anyways.
I think Haye made his point but carried on a bit too long with it. Hey if Wlad beats his mandatories in Thompson/Povetkin and Haye beats 2 top ten heavies?? The demand will increase greatly.
Why are people crying, this is how you sell a fight. The amount of noobs who are going to buy the fight after that has increased exponentially. That was brilliant. I have to say, Mr. Klitschko has got style.
he carries his right hand low that's why he is a sucker for the left hook. even if haye keeps his hands up his guard is bad anyway, wlad can open it with the jab and hit him with the straight right. haye will not be so fast after he eats some hard jabs and powershots from wlad. he wasn't so fast in the thompson fight after round 5 anymore... his best chance is to perform a corrie sanders-suicide mission and try to knock him out in the first. but even haye will not be cocky enough to do that.
I can understand why people don't like him. I didn't until the mormeck fight but now im properly converted. He's improved loads. I thought the face to face was hilarious
I had him down as a fraud before his last two fights. Obviously he is the real deal, still can't stand him though.
The face to face was staged and my it's worked a treat because look 18 pages on this thread so far and not to mention the amount of threads about haye!!!!!!!!!! This fight will be hyped into the first heavyweight superfight since lewis- tyson not counting lewis-vitali as vitali was a late sub for kirk johnson by next year this fight will be a Huge seller and personaly i can't wait for it :happy
