I totally agree with this statement. Given that Haye is smaller than Vlad, and given that Haye is supposed to fight by outmanuevering the bigger, slower Klitschko, you'd expect Vlad's camp to be phobic about fighting in a big ring. Vlad's people must have complete contempt for Haye's footwork.
Haye whilst exciting is very amatuerish at times and to be honest he has alot of flaws. I think this is going to be alot easier for Klitschko than alot of people think. Also as a side note for the people who are saying Haye should ask for smaller gloves, etc, has anyone actually thought about what happens if they had smaller gloves and Klitschko landed on Hayes toilet roll chin?
so sick of that statement. He only brings excitement if he fights. but he doesnt.. he talks and talks and talks. The only excitement that Haye is creating at this time is "potential fights" its been almost a year and after all that talking he has done, he has had 1 fight. He could have had 3 fights by now. Maybe its easier to talk the talk then to walk the walk Good for the division? at this point just talking is not good enough for me
Chef, Can you clear something up for me? Boxrec has Haye listed at 6'3", 215 lbs with a 80.5" reach. Does that jibe with you? He doesn't look that big and his reach that long.
it sounds close. He is heavier now and maybe he's 6'3" ( I think more around 6'1") dont know about the reach. sounds very long to me. When I saw him post Rahman/Wlad fight, he didnt seem that big to either.
this is very worrying because a huge ring + wlad klitchko = snooze fest if they are asking for this, nobody can argue manny and wlad are a little worried
I can see how this would be true. After all, it was also Emmanuel Steward that was adamant about Wlad staying away from Shannon Briggs. Guess Steward's job is to make sure Wladimir does not get hit at all. :rofl:rofl On a serious note, it also means no good fights from him.

Wlad wasn't even hurt -- he just ran away like "Please don't hit me" lol. Even in the corner he cowered on the ground like a ****, hoping that the ref would save him. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl That was not a showing of toughness, chin, or heart for Wladimir. In the interest of fairness, somebody put up the Carl Thompson/Haye fight stoppage.
