    Sorry but no. Size does not equal skill. Yes Wlad utilizes his size advantages against smaller opponents but he doesn't rely on size to win like others (e.g Valuev). His skills and ability is what wins him fights, not his size and weight though they play factors.

    I really hoped Haye ko`s him but even as a Haye fan I have to admit that Wladimir showed great skills. It`s just not true that he only wins cause of his size, Wach, Fury, Valuev, .... there are so many fighters who are bigger than him but are slower, much less athletic and less skilled than him. He has no unfair advantage HE IS JUST BETTER.

    If only Haye had gone "toe to toe" with Wlad. :rofl

    Sadly ....

    Hate obviously decided to base his fight plan on the Pacman-Mosely debacle.

    Haye disappointed people in his performance, but surprised them with his ability. Which is probably why they were disappointed.

    I was extremely impressed with Haye after this fight. I actually think his defence was brilliant, his head/lateral movement was superb.

    I think with a different gameplan (not trying to knock wlad out with a single punch) he could definitely win.

    Haye was so quick.

    Lennox was right about that fast muscle

    :deal

    How can it be a fail? I cannot understand how Wlads stock rose on the back of a good win against a fighter none of the Klitschko fans rated.

    Its not like Wlad beat an atg as he has never done that infact there is nobody on Wlads win list that makes you go wow.

    Wlads atg status will be discussed when he retires,I have no idea where he ranks but his win against Haye did nothing for me as he was too scared to take any chances as he knew Haye had power even if Wlads fans thought Haye was a ***** with a weak chin who wouldn`t turn up for the fight.

    The Klit fans cannot have it all ways even though they demand it.

    I watched the fight on mute, and I didn't think it was a bad fight. Then I watched the fight with commentary and it felt a little less enjoyable. I still think it was a decent fight and had a decent amount of drama.

    Are you seriously claiming that you watched that fight and didn't think there was anything off with Haye's footwork? I'd get that prescription checked if I were you.
