    One of the fastest movers and one of the worst.

    AWESOME. Enjoy the fight... its going to be great

    I totally agree with you. IMO Haye will be easy to hit unless he runs like Iggy did..... even if Haye wont engage and try to evade wlad... wlad is an expert at cutting the ring.... Haye might run, but he cant hide

    Good footspeed, terrible footwork. THIS is good footwork.

    See how he can move from side to side rarely getting off balance if ever. Gomez has some of the best footwork I've seen.

    Wlad is the best mover, very good footwork. Against Chagev it was his best fights, he moves and hits, changes the angles. He got the ryhtym in this fight, it was vey very good.
    His footwork is great and fast.

    Haye´s movement is poor, nothing to do with real good "boxing footwork."

    You gotta be ****ing kidding me. Haye slipping a shot, over-the-hill 38 year old Ruiz punches (which he didn't, he took plenty of slow ass hands from Ruiz) is an indication Haye has some of the best footwork in the HW division?

    Ridiculous.

    ive never seen a guy as slow a mover as haye...when he turned heavy, he was gonna bring excitement to a boring division, not fight bums like the klitschos do, knock both the brothers in the same year, yadada
    3 years later we have 12 punches a round fight vs valeuv, 38 year old shot inactive ruiz and 38 year old guy that was so bad, the WBC and IBF didnt even have in the top 15
    oh, youre talking about his speed in the ring? who cares, unless he actually finally gets back in the ring against someone he actually called out 3 years ago...

    Haye is off balance, throws wide punches, has bad chin for a cruiserweight, bad stamina, has not fought a good heavyweight, ran from Valouev, hardly threw any punches, Hell, Holyfield did much better against Valouev than Haye. Chagaev actually did beat Valouev, won WBA title in ring, Vlad beat Chagaev, but WBA took title away from Chagaev and gave it to Valouev before Valouev fought Haye. Even Jim Watt had Haye losing to Valouev and Watt wanted Haye to win! Watt said that Haye could not win the fight without throwing punches, but Haye is track & field.

    Put Chambers in with Valuev and ancient Ruiz and he will look like Ali. Haye has the natural athletic talent to overcome his weaknesses against those opponents and at CW he could overpower everyone. He never moved well in the ring, occasional fast explosions, yes, but smaller, less athletic fighters like Fragomeni could land lots of punche on him.

    He moves fast put his footwork is ****, it's one thing he's really going to need to work on for the Wlad fight.

    There's really just a couple of basic things that Haye needs to practice hard in training. Boxers never change their overall style all of a sudden before any given fight. I don't think that's even possible. What you do is observe your future opponents habits in the ring, pick one or two moves that have a high chance of success against him and practice on them like crazy.

    You can have bad technique boxing wise and still be the best mover based on sheer natural ability.

    Of cause not. Wlad has the best footwork - his steps are much longer..........
