Wlad could deal with Haye, thanks to good reflexes, good speed and good boxing skills. But even Wlad had a hard time landing, and could rarely take the risk to put any real power behind his punshes. In a match up between Vitaly and Haye, Vitaly is SLOWER and hits WEAKER. Boxing fans tends to overestimate Vitaly, because he is a tough guy. But at this age, I dont think he can deal with a prime and top athlete as Haye. If the fight happends, there is a chance that Haye looks real good, and he will soon hightail again, going on about how easily he would crush Wlad now when his toe is healed :tired
The fight will never happen. I just watched the interviews and it's just British journos quoting out of context.
Vitali is harder to hit clean than wlad and lets his hands go and uses both hands. steward hasnt changed him into a jab and grab guy.
haye wont fight him...i mean why should he? like he really wants to win another heavyweight title...especially the green belt... besides how stupid will he look with 2 losses in a row to "robots" he was gonna knock out easily? at least by not fight vitali, haye can still always have that card of saying vitali ducked him or what he "woulda done" had they fought.... but dont take my word for it, buy his book This content is protected
What about Haye's and Vitali's workrate? 20 punche a rounds against 60 punches a round? What about Vitali's granite chin and his power? :huh Haye doesnt have tools to beat Vitali
i think haye would do a similar fight plan like he did with valuev, but, he would be more active. the wlad fight gave him confidence.
OK. Thats a good plan, if he is more active. But still Vitali is much more active and much faster than Valuev. If Adamek (who has much higher workrate than Haye and is more active in the ring) doesnt outbox Vitali, do you still give Haye a chance? Or do you think that Haye may KO Vitali?
if u see his fight with kevin johnson, he looked like crap because kevin ran and played the defensive card. haye has very good defense like kevin, but, haye is better offensively than johnson. vitali would be chasing haye and haye would throw fast punches and avoid being clobbered by vitali
