    Yeah I agree. But that is the problem people have. If you talk **** you have to back it up, Haye didnt....

    Well, Wlad also said he is going to turn Haye into a pizza face and knock him out in the 12. The trash talk isn't really to be taken seriously imo.

    in all honesty, i don't mind haye just know to take anything he says with a pinch of salt, e.g. most entertaining HW, ability to deal a massive KO to either Klitschko/any decent big heavyweight.

    Adam Booth on the other hand i have a dislike for.

    Realistically i don't think he'll beat Vitali but i think it would be great for the division if someone did convincingly beat a Klitschko

    There's the difference that Wlad tried to back up his trashtalk while Haye wasn't planning on anything but trying to get lucky with a counterattack.

    Wlad had the intention, Haye just came to spoil and try to land a lucky punch.

    wlad didn't back **** up he fought as cautiously

    if wlad wanted to knockout haye why didn't he cut the ring off and corner him and finish him off?

    i mean its not as if haye has great footwork....

    You can say Haye needs to work his way back up all you like, but from a business point of view this is the only mega-money heavyweight fight that can be made (the other being Vitali-Wlad)

    And Vitali knows it, there's no way he'd be calling out Haye if he wasn't a gobshite capable of making him bigger money than he usually gets.

    He didn't. All he did was the usual jab-fest. In the 12th round he did amp it up a little but that's about it. And besides for Wlad it was easier to try and do what he said than it was for Haye.

    I was really dissapointed with Wlad not engaging while he had many chances, but he was the chasing party.
    Don't you think if Haye had fought the fight he needed to to have a legitimate chance of winning (not just the lucky punch), and Wlad fought the same way he did. Haye's face wouldn't have looked like a mess afterwards?! :think

    Of course Haye was fighting a uphill battle... but that's the problem, he wasn't even actually trying. Wlad didn't have to do anything to win the rounds, he didn't have to take any risk, because Haye brought exactly nothing!

    Like I said, I was dissapointed in Wlad, but I understand why he did what he did. Winning easy without having to take even the slightest risk against someone that was supposed to be his biggest rival.
    But it's still the intention that counts. Haye wasn't even trying to win that night, he did not much better as Kevin 'Safetypin' Johnson against Vitali.

    I don't care how bad Haye was or is or what he did I'd watch haye vs klits over klit vs anyone else every time.

    I disagree, I think his only chance to win was to do exactly what he did and the chance did present itself actually. He stunned Wlad in the 12th or so (don't really remember which round) although he wasn't able to finish him, but there was a possibility.
