    Do you guys even watch the fights? Haye fought scared and ran the entire fight so Klitschko just jabbed and won by decision. In Rounds 3 and 5 Haye got wobbled by simple rights by Klitschko.

    Wladimir has more power then any fighter since Tyson

    I don't think he landed a flush punch the whole fight do to Haye's movement and unwillingness to engage. It is what it is.

    yes, yes he does. He easily dodged, and moved out of the way of Haye, turned him, etc...

    Haye put on a fair display of defense, not giving Wlad a clean land, he was also looking to draw Wlad into being off balance.... hence Wlad rarely connected clean or committed his full power to the blow, Wlad also had to trade off for speed to land on the constantly shifting target.
    Can't question a guy's power when he hardly even tried to use it.

    Hard to hit an elusive guy. Look at the first Byrd and Ibragimov fights.

    THe hardest thing in the world to do is knock out a fighter that is continually back peddling. Haye didn't want to exchange with anything substantial. It just looked like desperation. Klitschko was trying to land his right hand, but Haye kept moving, so it was hard. It just ended up being another typical Klitschko fight to be honest!
     
  9. Both fighters proved their chins? Really? Amazing. Haye ran like a ***** all night so he was rarely hit, Since Haye ran like a ***** and never threw any real punches that means Wlad proved he had a good chin?

    Give me a break. Haye is a built up cruiserweight who got a title shot because of his big mouth. Wlad fights stiffs that is why he has a lot of knockouts. For the most part the knockouts come from rounds of punches.

    Wlads power is overrated and so is Haye. 2 horrible fighters who todays Lennox Lewis and George Foreman could beat

    His power is fine, I just wish he was more aggressive.

    I didn't think anyone saw him as a devastating one-punch type of guy to begin with but yeah, I'm even less impressed than before because Haye's chin is still questionable at best and Wlad never managed to significantly stun him, let alone drop him.

    Wlad wasn't committing fully to hardly any of his punches.

    Pretty much all but one right hand landed on a Haye who was moving backwards or at the least fluid and not moving forward, there was one short right that Haye walked onto a bit and he was stunned on the ropes briefly but that wasn't really a full blown right hand it was more that Haye was coming forward and it kept him honest.

    Wlad just doesn't have bad intentions, if he put his entire body into every punch like Haye he could probably chop a bus in half.
