Looks like this is going to happen finally. Haye is alot more seasoned now than he was when the original fight was to take place. The wins over Valuev and Ruiz show hes a legit heavy and can deal with fighters alot bigger than him. He does this with his speed and movement added to his crippling power. At the moment Wlad is settled into a style that very very very hard to beat. He is truly great at using his reach and keeping distance but he is beatable. I think Haye can get inside and a land a Clubbing and hurt Wlad. Wlad will be coming forward pawing with his jab and waiting to land his big right or maybe left hook. Haye will be moving around with loads of feints and jabs to the body waiting for the right time to dart in with the shots. I see a very boring 4 or 5 rounds because Wlad doesnt take risks and haye will be weary about getting caught but Haye will be the first to take the risk and it will pay off I think , his very fast hands should be able to land before Wlad skips back or ties up. I go for Haye TKO in about 6.
If Haye ever agreed to fight Wlad he would be stopped inside about 8 rounds within this year. Vitali is the weaker link, as Haye can wait for him to get old and then rob his grave.
Personally, i give David Haye a punchers chance...and thats about it. Because he's not going, outboxed or pot shot Wald from long range. And he is'nt really gonna pressure Wald, in a educated Mike Tyson type fashion. All David Haye has shown at heavyweight, is that when he faces any oponent that out sizes him. > He fights on a the back foot, his punch output is lowered, even though it's nothing great as it is.....basically he gets intimidated. David Haye cannot fight Wald, like he fought "The Beast". David Haye knows he has to change his style to fight Wald............when they where meant to meet awhile back. David Haye stated himself, "That he needs to fight like Mike Tyson"
Yes i agree... But it's weather David Haye has the mentality to do this, and ability. David Haye is a counter puncher.........at heart. Mike Tyson was a pressure fighter/county puncher. Watch when Evander Holyfield fought Riddick Bowe, or Lennox Lewis II. David Haye needs to fight more along these lines. But i fear that David Haye will run around the ring, and throw 3 punches a round. I hope not..
He most definitely has the mentality to do it Prima far more than Wlad. If he tags Wlad properly I think he could do an Enzo precise and up close. But of course Wlad's long arms will be a major factor
Its a 50/50 fight!!! Wlad is vastly over rated particualry by the Americans because he is white but he stands bolt upright like a typical European fighter and moves backwards in straight lines when tagged. They both have the tools to beat eachother and anyone else spouting otherwise are talking bollox.
