Prime Sergei Liakhovich VS David Haye

Liakovich had a prime?

When was that?

 

Haye would win easily.

Hayes speed and power would be too much for Lyachovick
Lyachovicks lack of defense wouldn’t help either.

Haye KO 5

 

I doubt Haye would win easily, but i think Haye would stop him late.

 

Haye by brutal early Ko...Liakhovich has always been easy to hit...And Haye has the power to hurt him...

 

Lyachovic is durable but other than that, he dosent have much tools to worry Haye in my opinion.

 

Speaking of Liak.... His fight against Brewster was one of the best HW fight in years....astonishing stuff...

 

I don't rate Liakhovich too highly, he had some durability but lacked punch to make a statement at the top HW levels.

I think Haye would have a rather easy night against him, unless Haye would punch himself out and gas in the later rounds but I'd doubt it. Haye would pace himself well, avoid any exchanges early on and probably stop Liakhovich in the later rounds with a few well-timed combos.

In order to give Haye trouble a boxer needs a decent enough chin (or superior reach, or ideally both), an average or better punch and footwork that is superior to Haye's (which is average). Liakhovich doesn't bring the right skillset IMO. He was good enough to win one of the paper belts and then quickly lose it again. Not more and not less.

 

Great fight :good

His last fight against Evans Quins was pretty entertaining as well.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

"PrimeSergei Liakhovich" First time I've heard that phrase.

 

Haye by clear UD.

 

What do you mean would?

He WILL.

At least Sergei is still fighting top 20 guys, while Haye is searching for smaller retired female boxers like Audrey and Christy.

He wouldnt dare fight Anne Wolfe or Laila, and will never fight a KLitschko under 41 y/o.

 

When exactly was prime Liakhovich?

 

The one that was beat to a bloody pulp by ATG Nicolaj "Sugar" Valuev possibly. He went the full 12 rounds while losing to Valuev, matching ATG Holyfield.

 

Mhmm. Yes, Liakhovich was still in ATG shape then. But certainly, it's hard to believe after that brutal thrashing across the distance that he's close to the same.
