I'm a fan of both guys and admit if Haye wins we will get more entertainment in the division with a possible rematch to discuss, a fight with Vitali or other fights. If Wladimir wins there is one fight at Heavyweight I'll be looking forward to and that's Povetkin/Wladimir.
Well, every fighter Wlad faces is smaller than him. Brewster is 6'1, Peter is 6'0 and a half, Sanders 6'4, all these fighters gave him trouble in the ring and in Peter and Brewster's case, they are alot smaller.
Yeah because they are actrually decent figheters...peter you have to admit is built like a brick house or atleast was until he started eating at fast food places haha but i mean brewster is a ligitimate fighter and the only thing that held him back in the rematch with Wlad was his eye issue which you can't blame him for and sanders is a tough SOB...ask Vitali.
haye was a green rookie when he fought thompson he barly had 10 fights, and he punched himself out before being halted, he was never sparked, like punisher said stewards got wlad clinching evrytime he gets hit because he might go over, at least haye wears his heart on his sleeve and goes all out regardless of the outcome, to put the record straight they both have question marks on their chins but i would hardly say hayes is much worse! you must be crazy
Im just saying through the opposition that the two have fought is different, and the whole clinching thing is a tactic for big guy fighters...why take shots up close when you don't have too...dundy had ali do the samething because big guys are easy targest up close for overhand shots. Its smart boxing.
You have a good point, but Ali's proved his chin is great. Taking Shavers, Foreman, Frazier, and Nortens best shots and never got knocked out. Do you see Wlad fighting with a broken jaw? I dont, Wlad reminds me of that Lion in the wizard of oz.
hahahaha that was good i gotta give you that one. However back to my original post. That is why haye is the perfect fighter to bring out the mean streak in Wlad to make him exciting because haye is going to be coming at all different angles throwing punches not only to the head but to the body and if Wlad is too win he is gonna have to let his hands lose more than ever. Its gonna be a good fight regardless and i can't wait.
Can't blame Wladimir there Punisher, he's just doing his job and fighting what the divison has to provide now. If there someone nearly as good as the guys you mentioned I am sure he will be all over it. Haye barely did anything in the Heavyweight division and he got his shot for the sake of getting a lot of attention talking trash. Wladimir is here to fight everyone available, if these guys aren't good enough then it's not his problem.
Agreed, I think the last time I was this excited for a Heavyweight bout, was when Peter faced Wlad. I just hope Haye has the finishing ability to KO Wlad when he's hurt, something Peter didn't at the time.
Monte Barrett - a bum and a has-been. Haye goes down from a grazing left hook and is shaken with another (illegal) hook so badly he needs to take a knee as soon as he gets up. Thomas Bonin - bum. Some other heavyweight sack of potatoes whose name I can't be bothered to remember - bum. Lolenga Mock - a bum and a nobody, plus the guy's a middleweight. Haye goes down twice on the same punch. First the knockdown, then the takedown by Haye who couldn't find his legs. Carl Thompson - beyond shot, beyond has-been. Haye goes down and out as the corner throws in the towel. Fragomenni - a midget of a fighter with punching power that makes Chris Byrd look like Tua. A bum basically. Takes Haye into deep waters and bloodies his face. Mormeck - shot and an average boxer at best with a so-so chin and an average punch at CW. Outboxes Haye for the most part and knocks him down along the way. Enzo Mac - an overhyped nobody with a glass chin. ======== See, Haye fans, it works both ways. This post is simply a retort at how quick you are to downgrade a fighters opposition, chin, accomplishments and everything else about him just because you are fan of the other guy.
and definitly a big kudos too Wlad for trying to make the fights everyone wants to see. Like Scar said it isn't his fault that their is only **** right now.
I hear ya scar, but Thompson and Rahman are far from the best in the division. He didnt even look good in victory, Thompson had no power and still made Wlad fight tenative at times. Rahman has even worse chin than Wlad, it took what, 8 rounds to put him away. I think Wlad's on a downward slide, and hopefully Haye will catch him.
****, it turned out to be a good post. The way i look at it, is wlad has been doing nothing for a year and a half, and people r just bad mouthing haye. why becasue he final got a title shot. I know he as a big mouth but its good to see wlad look like a *****. Haye shook up the HWD world and its the biggest HW fight in ****ing years. Actually something worth watching and its not PPV. People saying glass chin, glass chin this. There ****ing the best punchers in the world, somethings gotta give. The best of the best get Koed, its the way boxing is. But im saying it now,, wlad fans will be upset. i could be wrong but haye will just be all over him. Wlad holding on every 10 secs,, keeping his distance, looking like a scared cat. but i could be wrong. 6 round haye by KO... with a huge right hand on wlads chin. KO of the year. wlad will be lifeless. I just wanna see an upset like a tyson douglus. Be we wont get that much action. com on its wlad lol. jab jab hold, jab jab hold. so boring, i dont know how people can be in love with this guy. 100% not a warrior. Quote from wlad. i will knock him out in 12th round. wow,, who says that. why wait so long.
heavyweight is the premiere division in boxing, we dont need a incestuous homosexual being on top of it.
I have little interest in the Heavyweight division, as a fan I want Haye to win so he can bring life back into that shell of its former self. But if Haye loses I probably will stop caring about the Heavyweight division completey.
