Thread: There is no height Issue

I have heard some things resently regarding the Haye v Klitshko fight about how Haye is going to deal with Wladimir's height and reach. Well I cannot see that this will be an issue just ask Samuel Peter 6′ 2″, Lamon Brewster 6′ 2″, Corrie Sanders 6′ 4″ and Ross Puritty 6′ 3″. These fighters had no problem getting to Wladimir's chin and I am sure Haye is a hell of alot faster and hits alot harder than these fighters.

I am sticking my neck out here and going to see Haye knocking out Wladimir within around


Job Biscuit (even though I think Wlad is a top geezer)!!!


eh eh!!!

And if 13 was fighting the Wlad of 5-7 years ago? I might agree.

But I'm pretty sure he isn't

In fact Samuel Peters (The 1st Fight) was the only fighter in years who had a desire to win and nearly pulled it off but unfortunatley for Peters he is so dog slow and Wlad took advantage of this weakness to keep away for the majority of the rounds.....but I do believe he wont be able to do this against Haye who will chase Wlad down and punish him and keep punishing Wlad until Wlad will go into mental melt down and get stopped.


Job Biscuit (I mean who really had the desire to fight Wlad)!!!


eh eh!!

"Hits a lot harder" really a lot Where the hell is the evidence he hits harder at all than brewster or peter? Haye certainly is a powerful puncher but I don't think he has proven to be a monster puncher at heavy yet, all the fighters he has stoped at heavy have been stopped before and in quicker fashion.

Cliff Clouser got Monte Barrett out of there THREE rounds before David Haye did.

Michael Sprott only took a minute longer to knock out A-Force.

David Tua KO'd John Ruiz in a single round. It took Haye nine rounds to do it - and Ruiz got up from one of his 'Hayemakers' square on the chin.

Haye's power is overrated. I'm pretty sure that if himself and I tested our punch power on one of those machines you get in a pub, he would only get about 20 points more than me. True story.

One of these bad boys:



State of the art technology.

Speed is power and the speed of Haye will be a major factor....also Wlad has a very bad habit in clinching and if the ref is any good he will give Wlad a warning and make him stop. Haye needs to keep swarming in and get close and go hell for leather and beat Wlad to the punch. Hopefully within 5 rounds Haye will be victories

Job Biscuit (Haye is going to be to quick)!!!

eh eh!!

The worst part is being in a bar with one of these in them, you run upto it thinking you're all macho in front of the ladies, and punch it like Paulie Malignaggi. The thing hardly moves. It's as if it's laughing at you. "It's fucking broken this thing, stupid machine...". It's happened, trust me.

Haye better have a better plan then banking on his power and leaping in on Wlads chin in hopes of getting it home early. That jab isn't just going to turn to fairy dust when he clicks his heels. Style wise and temperment wise I can def see some points being docked before its all said and done.

Lets be honest here Samuel Peter, Lamon Brewster, Corrie Sanders and Ross Puritty were at their very best average fighters but all seemed to do well against the mighty Wladimir Klitshko...lol

Haye is in a totally different league than the aforementioned and I cannot see any big problems for Haye...unless Wlad lands a lucky punch I can see Haye doing a fine job and getting Doctor Steele to retire the ring for good


Job Biscuit (Bring on the older brother...that will be another great night for ENGLAND)!!!


eh eh!!!

Wlad jabs him to death. Game over.

It actually annoys me when people say Haye's power is overrated, I mean he doesn't always knock his opponents out but he has a habit of hitting guys and making them drop, fall over, take a knee etc. Fighters simply crumble under his power. He has VERY heavy hands.

Oh and Tony Thompson has gone on record as saying that Haye hits harder than Klitschko
