Haye vs Wlad Klitschko

[LUCKY_13]

Read an article, via Saddo, that David Haye called Wladimir a bum and said he would go up a weight class after his 'sure' win over Enzo. He said he will smash Wlad and take the title.

I never heard of this Haye until yesterday.

I watched his clips on youtube and he is a pretty good fighter.

However I am a huge Klitschko fan and believe Wlad would beat him if it came to a fight.
First impressions, I don't like this Haye guy attitude and hope he gets dropped on his ass!

If these two meet, what are you opinions and tips on the outcome?

I'm with you on this one mate, big Wlad fan and I'm a fan because of his performances. People will go on about Sam Peter's 3 knockdowns (all of them behind the head) and the Sanders knockout, but these incidents prove absolutely nothing about Klitschko's ability and pedigree as a champion. Might as well berate Lewis for his defeat at the hands of Rahman. He has devastating power, excellent precision and a fantastic ability to fight at range.
Furthermore, people commenting on the Ibragimov fight, Sultan is a dangerous fighter with fast hands that Wlad fought from a range and used the best tools for the job to deal with him. Theres nothing wrong with fighting defensive fights, just ask Mayweather Jr. If you want people knocking living shit out of each other, take the Duddy fight that was on the undercard. Its hardly a display of boxing technique and ring craft that real fans appreciate though.
Anyway as for Haye, he must be delusional if he thinks he stands a chance against the intelligent and powerful fighter that displays itself in Wladimir Klitschko.

Wlad is too complete a package for Haye to beat 95% of the time, however Haye is pretty quick, and he hits like mofo so if he lands that right cross cleanly I would believe Wlad would go down, however, landing that punch could easily not happen in 12 rounds, and Wladimir would definitely have the power to take Haye out with his left hook or right hand, hell maybe even his jab could put Haye on the canvas.

Wlad by KO in 1st.

In all sports there have always been cases where heavy favorites have lost despite the fact that it seemed they had an advantage in all facets of the game. So there is a chance Haye can win, but I think this is a situation where Wlad has every advantage. I just hope Haye doesnt think he can bum rush Wlad and get a quick KO, cause they aint gonna work.....

I will be honest I dont like Haye cause of his big mouth and I hope he gets KO'd. I cant stand big talkers like Haye, Witter, and Tarver who started talkin a ton of crap and were disrespectful before they proved anything.......

Haye will going to get massacred. I hope Wlad gets the same respect as former great fighters who were saftey first, had defence and always wasnt great to watch, such as jack johnson and gene tunney, tommy loughran, maxie rosenbloom. Wladimir has never avoided no one and is the true art of boxing hit and not be hit. After he shuts haye up i think he will get his due respect as a truly great fighter.

Easy Tiger... haye still has to beat Enzo Mac first...

I wonder if that rumoured Hatton-Pacquio fight will ever get signed.








































Or when people will stop randomly bumping up old threads on subjects that have been discussed to death.

I think it was very smart for Wlad to take this fight now and stupid for Haye. If Wlad destroys Haye, (which is how I see it) Haye will look foolish. I also don't think Haye expected Wlad to take him on this soon, instead believing Wlad would fight his mandatory's thus allowing time to become more comfortable as a HW while continuing to talk more trash, hyping the fight. Oh well, too late; it's on!

Wlad 1.0 considered himself invincible, charging forward with reckless abandon, which got him in trouble against Brewster 1, but Wlad 2.0 typically plays it safe against big men; using his stiff jab and excellent conditioning to wear a fighter down. However, he fights with confidence and viciousness against lighter and/or less experienced fighters which is how I see Haye in the HW division, and I believe that he will jump on him early and try to punish him. We'll see.
