David haye's tactics

[andykopgod]

Do you guys think it's wise for Haye to totally get up the noses of DR Iron fist and his bro? I'm not so sure. Hope it pays off.

[p4pking]

It always struck me that it really couldn't work against you if you have that mentality in the first place. As if Vitali is actually going to train harder or fight differently because Haye irritated him by holding up some magazine cover? He knew that Haye is a loudmouth, he's probably laughing about it as soon as the cameras are gone. Besides both Klitschko's have a very methodical approach, Vitali will punish a guy if the oppourtunity is there he isn't about to take risks he wouldn't otherwise. Neither guy is going to want this to be a shootout either way really, I doubt very much the fight would go differently regardless of almost any hype beforehand. It's a big fight, both will have to take it very seriously. I think Haye is in to deep but it can't hurt him to be confident.

[Mark TKO]

Hats off to Haye and lets applaud him for taking this one on !

But is it too much too soon ?? Could well be. I would fancy his chances against any one other than Vitali in the top ten as I think he's just too big for him at this stage. Why not his chinny brother. But hey who isn't excited by this


At last some excitement in the heayweight decision putting Haye on course for superstardom or oblivion . Love it.

David Haye I salute you for going for it - you crazy fool !!!

[Lance Uppercut]

David Haye is a very smart guy. He has yet to accomplish anything within the heavyweight division; and yet, he will most likely receive a title shot next. That is amazing.

Although, either Klitschko will knock his head off.

[El Kabong]

I admire Haye's drive to get to the top......but he's an arrogant prick and we won't be hearing much from him after Vitali beats him from pillar to post. Maybe we'll be treated to a "What's my name" beat down a la the Ali-Terrell fight.

I hope Haye's chin has gotten better because I don't want Haye to have a couple shots bounce off his head and him be out of it, I want his entire career destroyed by this fight kind of like a Trinidad-Reid outcome or Gatti-Gamanche outcome.....of course without the serious health problems those guys had but I just want Haye to be a shell of the fighter he could have been after fighting Vitali

A shell of a mouth will be ok

[Taeth]

I hope he does well, I don't know if he is actually a prick or just looking at the heavyweight division the same way everybody else is.

[No Contest]

He is smart by making himself a character, he is at least making pre-fight fun again. Nobody has any personality in the heavy-weight division lately. He is helping sell tickets being a good self-promoter.

[Kirkland Laing]

It sells tickets. I'm sure this argument over the photograph is just a publicity thing. They've got a big stadium to fill.

[Dark Lord Al]

to knockout Vitali before Vitali knocks out him , its really that simple , hes to easy to hit , and Vitali is so much bigger , he needs to be fast - quick - and devastating.

[Mark TKO]

yep this one finishes within 5 - thing is I can't see Haye stopping Vitali via KO so he will have to cut him !


is it worth going to ?!?!?

[El Kabong]

Vitali isn't that easy to hit...his height and the way he leans back it makes it very difficult to get a good solid shot to his head and his body is harder to hit because with his height and his leaning back he is able to keep his guard low.

Corrie Sanders and Lennox Lewis are the only guys I have seen hurt Vitali...Corrie was a very quick accurate puncher with big power, and hell Lennox Lewis is one of the best all-time heavyweights and one of the biggest power punchers the division has ever seen. David Haye had better eat his Wheaties because Vitali isn't Monte Barrett.

Vitali has really only been affected by a cut once and that was the Lewis fight....Haye had better hope Vitali injures himself punching so bad that he can't continue a la the Byrd fight. If Vitali stays healthy I think it's pretty much a lock that Haye is going to get hammered

[Memphis]

If he wins yes

Haye has a big pair of brass ones no doubt, he's going to get knocked out though isnt he.

[Memphis]

Thing is, Haye could work his way up to Vitali. He could beat Areola? Peter? But what would be the point? None of them are going to increase his chances against Vitali are they?

To win, he's going to have to spark out a man Lennox Lewis couldnt spark out let alone anyone else. Vitali will have to get very old very quickly for Haye to stand a chance. Doesnt mean I wont be willing him to do the unthinkable though, just wont be betting on it......

[El Kabong]

If Haye at least fought someone the size or style he would be better prepared YES.


I doubt Peter and Arreola do much for Haye other than prepare him for the power he's going to be facing
