if Haye really wanted a title shot at wlad asap, his best bet would be to hound povetkin instead of wlad. he wil fight in July. insult him into a fight and he can become the ibf#1. bam! title shot in November. haye already knew wlad had a contracted fight with thompson on HBO prior to his ****-talking. could the almighty Hayemaker be weary of facing Povetkin? :think
Haye could also challenge Ibragimov to a fight if he's so confident that he'd beat Sultan, an undefeated HW beltholder, better than Wlad did. I bet Sultan would kick Haye's ass...................
The same Povetkin that relentlessy avoided Haye at an Amatuer tournament back in the day. Give me a break. Povetkin was **** scared of David back then at that tournament in eastern Europe, and he is today as well. He will never want to fight Haye.
what happened to tua anyway he fought twice in less than a month and was down to the 230s i hope he doesn't blow back up
i would give haye major props if he were to take on sultan or povetkin right off the bat. either one would be the best opponent he has ever faced by a big margin. rahman, tua and mccall are big names who are used up. i think tua would be the most dangerous of the three. clearly, not top 10hws though
idk about that.....tua has a chin and ko power but cant let his hands go anymore. mccall has the chin but looked completely done in against JC Gomez. Rahman is, well, Rahman :rofl if haye fights a stupid fight by trying to ko either tua or mccall, he might gas himself and i'll take tua's power over mccall's every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
if Haye has trouble with guys who posess decent chins and good digs then he's in alot of trouble as a heavy as them attributes cover pretty much half the division.Peter,Povetkin,Tua,Mcall,Brewter,Valuev,Vitali,Virchis.Personally,i feel a tip top in shape Brewster,the one we saw against Golota knocks Haye out.Come to think of it,theirs many bad matchups for Haye at heavy.
Povetkin would knock Haye out,little doubt about that.Good power,excellent chin,handspeed,workrate,fights of the front foot.He'd be Hayes worst nightmare.Povetkin's a better,bigger,faster version of Mormeck who until the seventh was leading against Haye.
id have to say haye would decision oliver, ko rahman, and get ko'd by tuaman. i got a picture with haye at the hopkins cal fight and i was suprised he wasnt bigger, i mean he's cut up for sure but his frame doesnt seem that big
Yes, I think Rahman will have a decent chance at catching Haye, assuming Rahman prepares and comes into this fight in great condition. McCall Haye would probably see McCall taking a beating, and it being stopped.
Tua, with his excellent chin, wouldn't be affected too much by Haye's punches. Haye, on the other hand, doesn't have the chin to withstand Tua's blows. Tua would KO Haye. Rahman would definitely be KOed by Haye. McCall is too slow now, and would lose by decision.
