Who hits harder - Vitali or Haye?

Haye punches sharper

Vitali punches heavier

Different kinds of punching power, thus guys react differently to both.

 

Vitali was a massive massive puncher. One of the best punchers in heavyweight history.


Prime Vitali only lost to Chris Byrd and Old Shot Lennox Lewis.

I will take Prime Vitali over David Haye for sure.

 

Vitali is a hard puncher yet he couldn't knock out fat out of shape unmotivated glass chin Lennox Lewis. Yet Rahman and McCall did? Vitali is a i am bigger than you and I will throw punch after punch after to punch to TKO a blown up cruiserweight puncher.

 

Haye.
Vitali could hit harder in a one-punch- competition, but in the ring, Haye hits harder, really harder, he puts everything under every overhand.

 

Vitali has a harder output in his prime.
Haye relies on single shots much much more


With harder output I mean, being able to use your power to KO an opponents.
Vitali is extremely good with that, Haye swings extremely wild, lacks stamina and is a terrible finisher.


If you compare Haye his finishing ability to Muhammad Ali you can see how bad it is

 

I'd say Haye, even prime-vs-prime.

Speed is everything.

Also, as pointed out above, Haye often throws from odd angles, which keeps his opponent from deflecting. That EFFECTIVELY increases his punch's power.

------------------------------------


But now ask:

In the HW division, who LANDS the most effective power punches? The answer is easily Vitali.

 

Haye at this point by a fair margin. Vitali's been throwing arm punches since he hurt his back.

 

Haye hits harder based on what? Fat Del? Audley? Not a chance he hits harder, even current Vit, prime Vit destroys him.

 

Well, I suppose that's one barometer.

 

It proved past prime Vit can beat a man with one arm, I'll grant you that.

Haye has given every single guy he's fought a problem when he hits them hard. He had Wlad holding on in the 12th, put SNV on ***** street and KTFO of Chisora when no-one else had before to mention a few. Vitali is an accumulation puncher, he rarely gets a KO/KD out of nowhere and even fat and supposedly weak-chinned Lewis took his bests shots.

 

Haye is the hardest puncher ever. He is also the most exciting fighter ever.

 

You forgot to add .... in his mind.

 

You are the best poster ever. You have the most variety in your subject matter.
