Haye. Quicker, more skilled and just plain better. Helenius has potential but he's not ready for one of the top guys yet. He has very good power but he's a bit ponderous and was being out-worked at times by a horribly out-of-shape Sam Peter. The rumour is that Haye put it on him pretty badly when they sparred before the Wlad fight.
Helenius with ease. Lots of rumors go around about sparring. Helenious himself siad he was shocked at how well he did. Helenius is as big as Wlad, has a better chin, and two-fisted power. Unlike Wlad, he loved to engage. Not saying Helelnius is better than Wlad, or even as good as Wlad at this point, but he presents a similar package of skills.
Helenius IS the type of stand up Euro fighter Haye feasts on. He is nothing like Wlad. Haye won't find him hard to hit, but Hellenius won't be able to hit Haye. Haye will give him a beating, and make it look easy.
The only similarity I see between Wlad and Helenius is that they're both big. Their fighting styles are totally different and there's also a big disparity in ability. I think Helenius is too slow and predictable for Haye. He doesn't have the jab or ring IQ of Wlad to keep Haye where he wants him either. Haye by ko.
The only way Helenius wins this is if Haye decides to slug it out (like he always says he will but has only done so against lower-tier opposition like Audley, Ruiz and frickin' Monte Barrett)... in that case, I would say Helenius KO... otherwise Haye wide decision
I think he had some butterflys against Peter. He has been much more consistant with his jab in other fights.
Wrong, Haye has feasted on ****ing bums like Audley Harrison, Monte Barrett and John Ruiz. He barely beat an average paper champion in Valuev in a dreadful display. Haye has no ****ing Heavyweight resume, it is complete garbage.
Helenius is a terrible fighter. One of the worst top 10 heavyweights I've ever seen but, thankfully, he'll soon be just a memory. Awful fighter with very few redeeming qualities. Great fan base though. Those Finnish fans are awesome.
At least he shows up to fight. Haye knows he has no chin, so he is on the defensive at all times, runs the entire fight, his strategy is just to be safe and look to land one knock out punch all night long. The Valuev, Audley, and Klitschko fights were absolutey patetic and horrible. And Haye claims Wlad is the cure for insomnia, he is just as lame or even worse.
