That's the key word, ' accomplished '. People are comparing what they've seen from Haye, Peter and Chambers and then making a decision. They aren't going through BoxRec looking at how many heavyweights they've fought, they're watching each fighter and how good they look, their style etc. I'm confident that if you made 2 threads, Haye vs Chambers and Haye vs Peter that both would have Haye leading the polls. Haye has a high knockout percentage and speed, he has a reflex based style and he does look good at times when slipping punches. All these things are based on what people have seen, they're trying to make their own predictions and judgements on what they think will happen. Wlad knocks Haye out btw.
i agree that haye knows that he has no chance against vitali and can get lucky against wlad. i disagree that wlad needs to get lucky once. wlad simply needs to avoid getting unlucky once. the power, skill and experience of wk far exceeds that of haye
I think both Ruiz and Valuev planned on retiring, neither have fought since... they got one last retirement check and maybe a Don King payoff bonus... none of us knows what shady deals go on behind the scenes :hey
Vlad won in a mismatch, but I wanted to see Vitali/Haye fight because Vitali would have thrown many more punches and would have knocked Haye out, if Vlad had thrown body punches, he would have knocked Haye out.........UK had Haye the betting favorite..........
I think you've gotta be a fool to buy into his hype post the wlad fight. simply put he underperformed and then blamed his toe. thing is, he's the most exciting option for either klitschko IF HE COMES TO FIGHT, outside of maybe Helenius. Povetkin simply doesn't seem to wanna fight, and Fury isn't a totally proven entity. the sad state of the heavyweight class.
He beat Chisora lol. I find it a little amusing at how many posters said I didn't know anything about boxing because I never bought into the Haye hype. I think it's a bit of the opposite. You that bought into his bull**** theatrics and hype are the ones that don't know boxing and just believe what Sports Illustrated and Sky Sports News tells you to believe.
Close family member died within couple days of the fight is the reason for that As for the post, i was assuming Haye would be 100% fit, intead of being restricted with the broken toe, which despite the mocking would have been an issue for Haye during the fight.
And he's fooling people again. I like Haye more than the Klits but he ain't beating Vitali, I don't care how old Vitali is. Two different levels.
You are delusional if you think the Vitali of the last 2-3 years has what it takes to beat Haye He went 12 rds with Briggs and Chisora and has not looked impressive in any fight for years
Chin is too good, work rate is too high. Haye will have his moments but Vitali will come out on top. Styles make fights, Haye might have more power punch for punch but power is one thing that won't help you against Vitali.
