I said the samething in another post. It's not like Haye always fights in this way, like another heavyweight champ we know.
Exactly. Holyfield 'beat' him in a boring manner, so did Chagaev. That's how you do it, give him angles and counterpunch him in bursts. These people would prefer if he stood in the pocket and got KO'd because it woulda make their predictions right. Haye will provide excitement in the future.
The Klitschko's would actually look really good against this guy and knock his block off. The other HW's are just too small.
Maybe Vitali, but I got my doubts when it comes to Wlad. Who has melted or looked very scared against lesser opposition. Iggy had him strictly using the jab only, whose even smaller and less powerful than Haye. Peter had Wlad holding on for dear life for half the fight. I give Wlad credit for being the most skilled heavyweight out there, but he has left glass chinned fighters like Rahman last 8 with him and let journeyman like Thompson go 11 with him, whose best win came over broken down Luan Krasnqi. Wlad is far from a destroyer these days, even in his last fight against the disease infested Chagaev he didn't take him out the way he should of.
I thought that Chagaev, Holyfield, Ruiz, and Larry Donald all looked MUCH better against Valuev than Haye did.
The Klits would obviously look better agsint Valuev cause of their size But same time, Haye Vs Any Klit would be a better fight than Any Klit V Valuev
exactly. a key point is also that nobody made valuev look as fraustrated as haye appeared to and no one has ever wobbled him properly before. hes good for the division and hes good for boxing
LET Thompson go 11? Typical ESB logic. Thompson has only been stopped by Wlad in his 9-year, 34 fight professional career. And Wlad put him down for a KO, not a TKO. He was 31-1 and the mandatory challenger, not some bum (though of course not elite). Stopping seven of eight title-fight opponents. Not bad. I'd say. And I won't even touch the Chagaev comment. If I touch it I might get sick. :nut This content is protected
