    Haye barely has a jab. He jumps in with power shots.

    You could make the argument that Haye has better defense, but it's a stretch.
    Wlad's defense is that he's tall, and can keep you at bay with the jab. In essence, Wlad's best defensive weapon is offensive in nature. His other defensive tactic is to clinch.
    Haye sort of dodges, and jumps away as defense, but it's by no means a tight defense.

    Haye vs Wlad come down to who ca get their OFFESNE working for them.

    I know Klitschko supposedly has a good defense. But the thing
    is that he keeps his hands down and throws wide punches, that is going to cost him big in this fight.

    I seen a Gif of Klitschko wobbling Sam Peter, he had his left hand down and threw a Ricky Hatton like hook.

    ****in hell, i'm a big Haye fan but Ray Charles could see Wlad's got the better jab and defense. I can't believe this question has even been asked.

    Wide punches, what the hell are you talking about?:lol:

    His right hand is very straight, his jab is a sledge hammer that is fast and straight, and he can hook off the jab as well as anyone.

    His glaring weakness is infighting, so he'll just tie you up to negate that weakness.

    Wlad will be very carfull with Haye as he is fast and he can punch. this is gonna be a jab down.

    For those that say Klitschko has the better defense and jab.

    Would you say that Haye makes up for it with having a better offensive arsenal, ala throwing straighter punches, having better balance to throw combinations, not lunging with his punches, etc?

    I am big Haye fan. I am just bringing up how it seems all the advantages are in Hayes favor and pretty much Klitschkos only chance is to close his eyes, swing and hope to get lucky.

    The only advantage Haye has is speed.

    :lol::rofl:patsch

    I think you have it backwards. Haye throws wild looping punches. Wlad has the better jab by far.

    Both fighters have a Glass Jaw. That being said Klitschko has the better Chin and better power of the two. That is why I think he will win.

    Additionally Haye is unproven at Heavyweight. We do not know how his stamina will hold up if the fight goes late.

    This is an easy fight for Klitschko.

    Come on any Haye fans got my back. We are really confident who is going to win-it is obvious after matching up the fighters.
