    Actually, black people used to call Muhammed Ali "Black Superman" in the 70's. So I think the comic-book was a play on that. I used to have that comic-book when I was a kid.

    Only if Haye he ferociously throws bombs in bunches from the opening bell, moving his head & countering Wlad's power-punches.

    If he fights cautiously, running & pot-shotting as he did against SNV, then he loses.

    It is because the alternatives were so lousy. First his losses were given as a career defining fights. Those were the options. Peter at the time was undefeated, of course Peter would have whipped Tony Galento. He was at the time a feared fighter. Klitschko was knocked down really once in that fight, the other times grabbed from behind fall downs, but he dominated, and showed endurance for the first time. As Ruskull noted, other options were not presented, he beat two of those guys twice, each of them of note, were melded into one.

    'Samuel Peter I - Knocked down but came back to dominate
    Samuel Peter II - Total domination that showed how much he's improved
    Lamon Brewster II - See above
    Ray Mercer - Brutal ass whoppin'
    Chris Byrd I - Brutal ass whoppin'
    Chris Byrd II - Even More Brutal ass whoopin'
    Ruslan Chagaev - TKO'd undefeated WBA Champ for unification
    Sultan Ibragimov - Shutout against an undefeated opponent
    Calvin Brock - Brutal KO
    Tony Thompson - Brutal KO
    Eddie Chambers - Brutal KO'

    But there were more options than just his losses, and a win over an old Mercer.

    I agree, Haye has to go out there an bull rush Wlad, throw bombs early and when he hits be straight ontop of Wlad, he panics when he gets hit.

    Theres no way he will approach this fight as he did Valuev.

    White people prefer the institutional racism, it doesn't really translate onto forums.

    Btw, why did superman fight ali? And who one?
