If David Haye had dominated Valuev like nobody before and perhaps KO'd him, he would most likely believe that he has excellent chances against either Kltischko. His performance against Valuev was less impressive than that of a 40 year old Larry Donald or Chagaev. Donald was knocked out by Vitali, Chagaev was outclassed by Wlad. If Haye was so defensively minded again a light punching Valuev, what would happen when Wlad lands his first stiff jabs? Either Klitschko is harder to his clean than Valuev, who throws amost no punches. What would Haye do against Vitali's 80 punches per round? If Chagaev got to Valuev easily and couldn't land anything on Wlad, how is Haye suddenly going to be the fighter who breaks Wlad's style? All that verbal bravado aside, in the ring Haye has yet to look confident against a HW. I doubt that he will actually push for a fight against either Klitschko.
Not unless he wants a grade 3 concussion. He wont fight for pathetic 5 million dollar slave wages, the man has class.
Haye will never fight a Klitschko. He will spend his next 3 years with a fight against Ruiz , another one against Holyfield and an "injury" that will keep him out for a year... Then at 32 he will retire as he has said
Let's put it this way. Certain people have steadfastly claimed up and down that he'd not even fight Valuev, and if he did he'd get annihilated. He definitely wouldn't have the gas to go 12 rounds. So let's just say 'yes', although he needs to concentrate on Ruiz first, and just bear in mind how often Haye has not done what his critics have predicted so far.
**** off people, Haye fought a clever fight, he now has a belt, and negotiation room, that last contract had David have his first daughter to be broken in by Wlad and all sorts of ****, the only reason that fell apart was because of Setantas collapse, ill avatar bet anyone that hes fought a Klit by this time next year.
I'm pretty confident he will. Last night he showed he can take a measured and tactical approach, which raises my confidence in him both taking and doing well in a klitschko fight.
I think the question is will a Klitschko ever fight Haye? I know that Haye's ultimate fight is against either Wlad or Vitali and the question is do they see him as a big enough threat/name to fight.
@ some of the Haye bashing. It's ****ing pathetic. :deal I'm confident he will get a fight with WALD after he beats Ruiz.
Setanta collapsed, thats why the fight fell through. Setanta were the only ones paying him. And he has said he wants to unify.....so lets watch this space. Haye-ter
