If Vitali passed up on Valuev.....then this is the perfect opportunity for Haye to get back in the title picture.....its a very winnable fight for him..... We all know Valuev is slow as hell, and just jabs for 12 rounds......haye is quick, good footwork(something valuev doesnt have), and power/counter-punching abilities....... I think Haye takes this either by a shutout.....or after eating 3 or 4 big right hand bombs....TIMBER! Who Takes it? and should Haye now jump on this fight?
man this is a no brainer! haye would, if he chose to box for 12, EASILY outpoint valuev and in boxing terms thats a phrase i dont really like to use no brainer as well because valuevs people wouldnt let haye in the same postcode as valuev never mind ring. haye is not shot, over 35 years of age, slow as hell or been shown to be pretty easily handled
Haye should be ringing valeuv up right now , he needs a fight of this magnitude tog et back in the frame, Haye really needs a fight, and a fight with valeuv can really give him respect, especially if he manages to Ko the big man
If Haye doesn't win that on points, he should go into figure skating or combat bingo. But KO ? NEVER !
What about the possibility that Haye's ego gets to him and tires himself out trying to KO the brick-faced Russian? If that happened then Haye might eventually go down, though he may still be able to avoid the slow lumbering attacks of the lumbering beast.
cant see haye staying away from valuev for 12 rounds sooner or later hes going to have to engage and Haye's chin would let him down. Valuev wont be hurt by Hayes punches and he could try and land his long jab and i think he may actually have better stamina than Haye who has only been 12 rounds once and evan then limited his power shots
I don't like Haye but there is no way that he wouldn't put the beat down on Valuev. If an old ass punch drunk Evander could give Valuev the business than I guarantee you that a young faster and harder hitting Haye would take him out. He might not knock him out seeing as how Valuev is so big its like punching the blob from X-Men but Haye would completely out box him.
I think this one would end in a tko for Haye. The ref would stop it after too many unanswered punches
