Being one of the main people that has argued for this being called a knockdown I just want to say that never did I suggest Chicken Little was hurt by any punch other than the one Monte threw against him when he was already down. But as for the knockdown, it was legit and it SHOULD be very worrisome for any of his fans because he was waaaaaay off balance and he was put in that position by an inferior boxer and that does not bode well for ANY future fight much less a fight vs a Klitschko

What about Wlad being caught off balance twice by a slow fat Sam Peter though? The other knockdown in that fight was the china chin cracking once again.

Everyone makes mistakes at some point Lyle and as i've stated before Hayes main problem is that he rushes in a bit too much sometimes. Something that is easily worked on though not like a poor chin. Whether or not a punch lands for me he was going down due to his own over eager attitude but he isn't the first top fighter to do that, I remember Floyd nearly going over against Hatton due to balance and he is the best in the world bar none and p4p a billion miles ahead of anyone at HW at the minute including Haye and the Klits.

Your hatred for Haye is growing into something ugly now!

#1 Wlad isn't the issue here.
#2 Wlad was hit behind the head and not whilst off balance.
#3 Balance is very important in all martial arts but in boxing especially as it could lead to losing points.
#4 I'm merely stating that a world class boxer like Chicken Little shouldn't ever find himself so off balance vs an inferior boxer like Monte Barrett and just to me I think that Chicken Little would be a much better boxer if he chose to box and not throw bombs that put him so off balance. He has much better footwork than he's showing when he throws those big bombs.

Just my opinion for how he could possibly make a fight with either Klitschko more competitive.
