If David Haye is healed, he still has the tools to be Wlad.

    That's a great post. Clearly Haye's game plan didn't work, but he didn't have the balls to go all out on the attack for a fear of getting hit with the straight right.

    Haye is a good fighter, but after talking a big game for years, he came in a fought tentatively and didn't really try to win, hoping for a mistake from Wlad, which was never gonna come.

    hayes best chance would have benn now when wlad is clearly ageing, but the window of opportunity for haye maintaining his peak has gone, sorry david, you aint going to beat ageing wlad now you yourself are bound to be slowing down and clearly losing interest.

    I don't believe the highlighted bit. Everybody (including yourself) knows that size does matter in boxing. That is why there are weight divisions. You can overcome the size advantage if you are much better than the bigger guy in terms of skills, speed, power etc but unfortunately for Haye that was not the case against Wlad. Even if they were the same size, Wlad would be the favorite but Haye would have more of a chance. Fighting someone who is both bigger and better than you, your chances are minuscule.

    Dont think people realise how big and strong big klitch is until their in their...david haye had the best chance of beating him and fell a good bit short. I agree with the go in and try to bomb him out but there's a reason knowledgeable trainers like booth dont send him in with that gameplan. Your giving too much away to klitchko...still would like to see a rematch...with haye going out there to seek and destroy like he said he would. Too small though to do it imo. And still think they'd use the same game plan they did but make some ammendments...he did have a little success with it. They would convince themselves that other amendments would get the job done. They'd be wrong imo.

    It's always the gameplan if the fighter doesn't win...if booth had sent haye out there to destroy wlad, and got taking out early in the process we'd all be on saying booth had no gameplan/tactics but just to swing wildly...he should have went the other way and boxed him. The truth was they were always giving too much away to wlad, in height and weight.

    Like David Price or Tom Dallas he has a punchers chance against Wlad but nothing more.

    He is one of the biggest frauds of all time. Biggest one I have ever personally witnessed. He couldn't beat Wlad when he FINALLY fought him and wouldn't beat him now. He would sign the fight and then pull out like he is notorious for doing

    I think your analysis is spot on.
