Would the gameplan change massively from fighting Wlad as apposed to fighting Vitali?

    I think haye is always going try that 'hit & run' tactic like he used against Valuev & Wlad (to an extent) but would other fighters change there tactics for either brother?

    Wald is the type of fighter that you would have to worry about your health if you was facing him...Vitali..ehh not so much.

    Tell that to Briggs, Solis and Adamek.

    Briggs was slow, old, had no defence and got hit with 20,000 punches

    Solis Knee imploded due to holding up his 500lb frame while he attempted a Fred Astair Impression

    Adamek, it's Adamek LOL

    Haye could afford to fight on the front foot more against Vitali, Chisora got quite a few shots through, he's slower, shorter and hits much less hard than Haye, although i fathom he's more durable

    Sadly i agree with TS though, Haye will look at Vit, think "he's old, slow, ill just outbox him on the back foot" he will most likely not throw enough and lose a UD.

    Whats wrong with Adamek?

    Haye is exciting against fighters like ruiz. But against someone he fears being hit, he fights way to scared.

    David haye will make this fight boring like he did against Wlad.

    Adamek is a below average heavyweight.

    He's average in all aspects, except for size where he is small.

    At least Haye is fast and hits hard for a heavyweight, also has good head movement and is slippery.

    Adamek doesn't hit hard, isn't very quick and is easy to hit.

    Wlad is much faster and more technical than Vitali and he really couldnt land much of Note on Haye other than intermittant jabs, Vitali will have trouble laying a glove if Haye wants it that way, the question is can haye lay a glove himself if he fights that way?

    He won't chance his gameplan but he should if he wants to have any chance of winning against Vitali. He also should have had another gameplan against Wlad, because he never was going to win that way either.

    Vitali's punchoutput is very high for a heavyweight, while Haye's is very low so outpointing while potshotting is never gonna work and is only to survive until the final bell.
    He can't try to dish it out with Vitali (Lennox style) because he will end up face first on the canvas if he tries.
    His only chance is to fight in constant spurts and trying to convince the judges that way, hoping he won't gass and/or gets caught in the process.
