This topic has dominated this forum in one way or the other for the last couple days and yet people say there's no excitement in the heavyweight division... We are spending time talking about a fight that won't happen this year and might not even happen next year, Part of it is that Haye has been talking alot but to be honest I think it's the division that Wlad creates people either love him or hate him and no matter which side your on you anticipate his fights...wheter it's to see him win or lose he creates excitement and Wlad KO's Haye in 5
By the way Wlad was Knocked down 13 times, I'm not sure of the exact number but I do know he got up every time...He keeps getting up and trying to fight even when he has no chance to win... That speaks to his so called non-existant heart
Wlad would beat Bowe, similar to the way Golota embarrassed Bowe twice, with the exception of the DQ's. Golota beat Bowe with the jab & even at his best, Golota's jab isn't as good, as fast or as powerful as Wlad's. Klitschko vs. Lewis is a 50/50 fight IMO. They both fight very similar & both have nearly the same strengths & weaknesses.
Haymay? Haye will eat his words if/when he earns his shot. I think he'll be beaten before he makes it that far.
:rofl :rofl very simular apart from lewis having a much better chin, better boxing skills and more power.
Lewis would beat Wladmir Klitschko the same way he beat Andrew Golota. Fast, and early. Unlike his brother, Wladimir can't handle Lennox's power, even though he is a slightly more varied boxer and better athlete.
It's WAAAAY to early to even suggest Haye can win @ HW against the top fighters there. Let him fight there first before assuming he'll do what very few CW's have been able to do themselves, and that's win above 200 #'s.
Golota fought an out of shape, unmotivated Bowe. Before the fight Bowe remarked that he didn't need to train to fight a bum. Clearly, he didn't take this fight seriously and his skills were deteriorating. Prime Bowe wipes the floor with Wlad. No way that's a 50/50 fight, not even close. Old, out of shape Lewis TKO'd Vitali. Prime Lewis would be able to overwhelm Wlad. Wlad can't just stay on the outside and employ his jab and grab style.
Better chin? Tell that to Rahman who knocked him out with a single punch. Better skills? That's a bit general doncha think? Wlad has the better jab, faster hands & better footwork. Lewis is a bit better inside & he has the better uppercut. Power is roughly even, either can knock out opponents with either hand.
Disagree 100% Wlad is not a better athlete they are about the same. So Golota, who went to the big show often but never won the big one, is equal to Wladimir & his accomplishments? Good luck selling that.
Bowe was slightly out of shape for the first Golota fight but not the second. The result was nearly identical so there goes that theory. Lewis got the TKO on cuts, not because he overwhelmed Vitali, in fact he was behind on the cards at the time of the doctor's stoppage. I am a big fan of Wladimir & Lennox, they have many more similar traits than most are willing to recognize.
