    How can people predict and expect an early KO and then give Wlad a 9 or 10 for a disgracefully boring decision win where he took no chances whatsoever.

    I thought one of the fighters in that fight did get a pizza face? Maybe i'm getting all mixed up?

    Amazingly, it happens 100% of the time Wlad fights. At least Wlad and his cronies are consistent.

    No champ in history has LESS decision wins than the bro's. Try harder.

    You still haven't answered my question: How many rounds would Haye have have lasted with Foreman, Tyson, or Lewis? Vitali?

    Hmm. Even if you don't rate the brothers the difference in their ability compared to past greats is really quite small. Styles do make fights true but even though Haye is a ****head he is still a talented fighter and I think his speed is his trump card.

    Lewis v Haye.
    Lewis gets him late because he tries to engage more than Wlad. Takes more punishment from Haye in the process.

    Foreman v Haye.
    Not sure. Foreman would try to walk him down and corner him but his punches are diabolically slow and telegraphed (esp his hook) and Haye is a real speedster. Don't see Haye having as much difficulty escaping unscathed while throwing his ambush attacks against Foreman. Haye may be able to outpoint him or KO him but I'd still go with a late KO for big George. Foreman would take the most damage of any opponent.

    Tyson v Haye
    Bwahahahaha Tyson KO3 :bbb

    Vitali v Haye
    Vitali v Haye would go similar to Lewis. Vitali will continue to press forward. Stalk. Unlike Wlad who plants his feet at maximum range and tries to beat you there. If/when it happens Vitali will get marked up bad too.

    So while I agree these guys all beat Haye they'd take more punishment to do it. I don't think it's a blowout except for Tyson, but Tyson is Tyson so.........

    Wlad's performance while not brutal was still very impressive. He nullified the speed of the fastest guy in the division to the point that their speed became comparable. He constantly changed his angles and footwork to nullify Haye's lunging attacks and barley took any damage on route to a shutout.

    Definately not a 0 out of 10.

    Thanks for the response. I see both Lewis and Foreman taking Haye out within 4 rounds. Maybe they get hit a couple of times more than Wlad, but when guys actually engage, they get hit.

    Maybe the 0 is a bit harsh, but if Tyson or Lewis would have allowed Haye to hear the final bell they would have been lit up in the media and on the boards.

    By the way, I like Vitali.

    Absolutely. I reckon if Lewis was still champ in the internet age he'd be getting plenty of hate anyway. Lewis could spark him anytime. I just chose late KO because of his Steward based style.

    Don't rate Foreman as highly as you do. True great but just not sure about that speed.

    Imagine what Foreman would have done to a small slow brawler like Peralta. He would have KILLED him within 30 seconds. Oh wait, they actually fought two times: a close UD and a tko 10.

    Let's see some good material from you today, Malden. You're on a sour run.
