Boxing Domain has updated some stuff, it seems like its done!

im guna head to vegas and sneak at floyds door with a megaphone,24/7 shouting to him"fight manny!".

follow him round the club with a sign"fight pac",lol,follow him when he goes to a game or goes gamble shouting "fight pacman".

ride up next to him in a monster truck which says"fight pac or retire".

 

Your face would get such a poking. :nono

 

Nice one!!!

Hopefully we get an official announcement this week or early next.

 

Wlad KO2 fo' sure :deal

I would absolutely love Haye to prove me wrong though. I used to have a lot of faith of him when he first talked of moving up to Heavy, but he's done very little since actually making the transition.

He doesn't have the tools to do it IMO.

 

Flea, how do you rate Haye's chances against Vitali?

 

I heared the same thing on CityTalk radio

 

Much better. Whilst very awkward and with the dig to hurt Haye, I don't rate him much as a puncher at all. He could well win messy, but I see Haye making Vitalis cumbersome style very ineffective indeed, circling and peppering a far easier target (doesn't employ the high hands Wlad does) by following through with shots anytime Vitali evades him by leaning back like he does.

If Haye pressurises him sporadically and makes Vitali miss, I think he'll wear the big man down, he hasn't looked impressive since he come back despite dominating 6-10-level competition, and I think Haye could make his style look even more ragged.

Despite Valuevs massive size, Haye barely threw anything against him and that is worrying. Haye is a sharp shooter (though his own work becomes very sloppy when he lands the shot which buzzes his opponent) who goes for the kill only when he thinks he has his man. If he fails to get off against a very awkward opponent I fear he could do **** all throughout. Either his lateral movement (looks good against cumbersome opposition so could cause Vitali problems) stunts Vitali too it's a bore fest. Vitali would probably be more active and win a dreadful 12-rounder or lands enough late for Booth to pull Haye out or force a stoppage.

If Haye goes for it just a bit more than he did against Valuev, as I say I think he can do the more eye-catching work and win. But Vitali is a far mote awkward target than Ruiz or Barrett were. And Haye isn't taking Vitali out, so I still think Haye will have a very difficult proposition in front of him as long as it goes.

But Vitali isn't Wlad. At this stage, if they had different surnames I imagine Wlad would batter Vitali.

 

this made me laugh for a good few minutes thank you

I genuinely think Vitali and Wlad have a good chance of losing to Haye and i think this is because of their competition over the years. I know this may sound ridiculous considering Hayes HW comp but i think even though they may know Haye is a bigger threat with those heavy hands of his i dont think you can adjust from fighting opponents who were ripe for the beating to a man who knows the only way he is going to win is by putting you down.

Furthermore, due to the different fighting styles and physical attributes this will not be such a problem for Haye as Wlad (who he will probably be fighting). Haye is smaller with the similar punch resistance issue so he hasnt had the advantage of being able to keep the fight at distance and dominate with straight 1-2s. He has to get into the thick of it so he hasnt got the ability to stay in 2nd gear or not focus.

Last point if youve stuck with me, i think Vitali is the better brother for haye, hes older more worn. Hes quit before, not to say hes a quitter but the bombs haye will likely land on his chin might make him question whether his heart is in this sport anymore. People talk about his chin, obviously hes got a granite one but if you get hit hard enough, enough times you go down it doenst matter who you are. For all hayes weaknesses he CAN punch so i think he becomes the first man to stop Vitali if they fight. That is if can land a few big shots relatively early on.
