I do not think Haye will pressure him. The tacitc against Wlad is the best tactic to win against Vitali. Haye has the power to make big damage with single punches. Avoid the punches from Vitali, quick footwork and Haye is able to avoid the punches from Vitali and than counter him. Watch the fight against Chris Byrd in 2000 and you can see how you can win. Byrd wasn´t a puncher. Haye is more fast and more powerful than Byrd. Haye has the boxing skills and the intelligence in the ring to be able to win against Vitali. Wlad was calm and he had the patience not to walk into the trap. Vitali will not have this patience. Watch the fight against Johnson and Byrd. Haye is all wrong for Vitali.
Sounds about right, Haye has to get his ass beat for 10 rounds and hope Vitali injures himself and retires himself from the fight. :rofl Not gonna happen bigot.
Byrd did okay against him granted but he was still losing on all the cards, same with Lewis - losing on all the cards. Vitali, never knocked down or been behind the cards in any fight, highest KO percentage of any longterm HW champion in history. :deal :smoke
If the fight did happen. Regardless to win Haye is going to have to trade with Vitali. The question is does Haye have the CHIN to do that and would Haye do that? I really do not think so and I believe at Vitali's age he still beats Haye. I think we can all agree this would just be about the money to Haye if this fight happened. While I am not a fan of Haye I must admit I would watch this fight for the simple reason I think Haye does not win and I would enjoy watching it simply for that fact and to see how Vitali wins! My Thoughts. Peace
Against Lewis 6 rounds where boxed! The fight was stopped because of deep cuts caused by punches from Lewis, who cares about scorecards. Byrd did much better than the cards told. In boxing history some boxers won on cards but lost in reallity. Byrd won by TKO and that is what counts!
So what you are saying is for Haye to hope Vitali injures his shoulder? Because that is the only reason Byrd won. Vitali didn't have a mark on him from Byrd's punches. And Haye doesn't throw punches anyway he sits back and poses, back peddles, and flops. The few wild punches he threw against Wlad didn't do anything and we all know Vitali has a better Chin than Wlad. Not sure what your point was to be honest :huh
One punch from Haye caused a cut under Wlad´s eye. A TKO win on cuts are possible for Haye or again a win because Vitali injured his shoulder. :hi:
If Haye couldn't stop or KO Wlad he isn't going to KO Vitali. Vitali is actually harder to land flush on than Wlad. He has excellent Defense and Chin. Fact.
Against Lewis 6 rounds where boxed! The fight was stopped because of deep cuts caused by punches from Lewis, who cares about scorecards. -The cut was opened by an illegal maneouvre, arm round the neck and glove tearing the eye. I'm at work just now but I'll give you the exact moment it occurred and you can see the blood spurt out. Lewis was down 4-2 on all three cards and losing the fight bar the injury. Byrd did much better than the cards told. -So you do care about score cards? In boxing history some boxers won on cards but lost in reallity. -Not Vitali so an irrelevant point. Byrd won by TKO and that is what counts -He won by RTD9, not TKO9, idiot.
Who said he didn't look good on those fights? He was winning the Byrd fight easily. Chisora won 2 rounds. Those fights were not close even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder know that. He looked fine in the Lewis fight just got cut and it was stopped. Big deal. Fighters get cuts it happens. The way some of you talk on here if I hadn't seen the fights I would have thought he lost both by brutal and embarrassing KO like Hatton against Mayweather and Pacquiao. That isn't what happened.
Rico once again showing how little he knows about boxing, while simultaneously confirming his bizarre man crush on a 41 year old Ukrainian he's never met.
