Would you say Wlad is basically a bigger version of Haye?

    Both have great handspeed, power and skills but somewhat questionable chin and stamina.


    You'd almost say Klitschko is just a bigger version of Haye. I certainly think Haye has enough power to beat Klitschko... however, whether he can land enough on Klitschko before he is taken out himself by a big right hand or left hook is questionable. Would be an exciting fight while it lasts though.

    No, I would not say that Wlad is basically a bigger version of Haye. They really don't fight much like eachother.

    Agreed, they're nothing alike.

    Haye is a novice with a big punch and a bigger mouth.

    Sorry Chris, I don't see it. In terms of aggression they seem almost opposites.

    Wladimir is very technicall sound; educated jab, methodical, excellent at keeping a distance, throws his power shots with great precision and is very calculated. Haye is more athletic and fluid. Throws his shots with bad intentions from the opening bell and isn't one to let his first power shot go in the sixth round. He's not as controlled as Wladimir either. Defensively, Wladimir is better.

    Haye's stamina is not questionable since he bucked his ideas up after teh Thompson fight.

    Wlad is chinny, Haye has a decent chin.

    Wlad is gunshy and likes to keep a fight at range, Haye likes to draw the other guy in and mix it up.

    Both have good power, Haye probably has the edge. Both are highly skilled.

    Haye fights with his heart, Wlad with his head.

    They are very different beasts.

    in a way, yes. both are massive punchers who appear fragile.

    but wlads technically better, setting things up with the jab. not willing to take risks.
    haye is more exciting cause he doesnt have that great technical makeup of wlad, but is more willing to take risks.

    but when they fight, haye will not get past round 3. if he can get that far.....

    If this fight happened, I'd pick Klitschko in 5 or less.

    Guess you didn't see the Mock fight. The shot that put him down was on the temple not the chin.

    Wlad got more power than Haye? Don't be so sure. Haye his like a mule. Lets just wait and see eh?

    Let's just establish this right now, Wlad has more power, a better jab, a better chin & at least as much speed as Davey.

    Wlad would not have been knocked down by Mormeck or any other Cruiserweight for that matter.

    Like you said, I guess we'll have to wait & see :D I'm quite confident, are you?
