Valuev-Haye Presser

[El Kabong]

...I kind of wanted to see Wladimir take on Cris Arreola before Vitali ruins him. A Wladimir-Povetkin fight or Wladimir-Chambers fight is just going to be brutal...almost unfair. The winner of this fight should (but probably won't) fight Wladimir.


I think Evander Holyfield would whup David Haye right this very moment...I may be in the minority, but Evander is a bad ass, he's tough, he uses his head and his workrate is very difficult to match....I think Haye will have a much tougher time than Evander especially if his power doesn't carry as hyped.

chambers and povetkin are both skilled fighters (probably on par with Wlad) but are too small to give Wlad any challenge. Wlad by brutal kayo over both.

haye probably beats Holyfield at this point... Holyfield has been a shot fighter for more than a decade.

Chambers and Povetkin are technically sound, they don't have devistating power, Chambers is pretty quick but it doesn't do him much good with his style unless he has someone he can counter....with Wlad's reach it'll be damn near impossible.

I still think Holyfield beats Haye....shot or no, Holyfield has heart and he has guts, never count him out vs a little punk like Haye!

I didnt think he would dwarf Haye so much!

i have my suspisions about both fighters, but after looking a little on youtube i think Haye has to rely on his dynamite punches. I thought Valuev was a little bit of an arm puncher, and i know these highlight reels are biased but he has got a huge punch when he decides he wants to use it.

Has anyone ever managed to test his Jaw? i think Haye can, and a knockout would be sensational. i think Haye knows this and this is why he will expose his chin and eat stiff jabs all night. If it goes longer than 6 (which i realistically think it will) Haye will loose.

I want him to win though!

prime for prime, i agree with you.. the holyfield that fought douglas would have Haye outta there pretty early. and the CW version would give the CW version of Haye an absolute ass-whooping. not today though.

Sorry haye....lost interest. He'll probably want to fight ruiz next.

When Valuev is through with him,he'll pass'em on down to Ruiz

Right, for the sake of your own IQs could everybody here going on about how massive the size difference is please say (even if you're just pretending) that you were just joking and you were 100% aware of the obvious camera trick being used to make haye appear like a midget.

They're not standing side by side, Haye is a few feet behind Valuev and the camera is on an angle to them.

Shit Valuev may be tall but I don't think that his head is over twice the size of an average human being or that he is 3ft taller than a 6 foot 3 man.

Any one watch father ted? it reminds me of when he's explaining to dougal (he's a little simple) about depth perception...

FatherTed: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
[he points to some plastic cows on the table]
FatherTed: are very small; those
[pointing at some cows out of the window]
FatherTed: are far away...

haye is actually a shade taller than holyfield:

^bit of a difference between haye and holyfield in those pics isn't there? Haye is taller than holyfield but Haye doesn't even reach Valuev's shoulders whilst holyfield is above them?!...

So yeah... obviously Valuev is taller, but the picture above of holyfield is probably a better comparison... that picture is a little camera trick they'll be using to get all of the sheeple who read two the paragraphs about the fight written in the sun/daily sport talking about the fight...

but we're not tabloid reading sheeple guys... we're saddo forum members... the best of the best of the best.

Haye SHOULD win, he's certainly been hyped to do so....we still don't know how he takes a proper heavyweight punch, we don't know about his stamina, we don't know if he can move in on a guy like Valuev successfully. Sure he got to Gurov but he was the 4th guy to do that so it's significantly less spectacular a feat than David Haye thinks.

I, like ross before me, wonder if David will actually make it to the weigh in much less into the ring this time. If he suffers another "injury" especially one as suspicious as "I hurt my back shaddow boxing", then I think David Haye all this "David Haye is going to rule the heavyweight division" bullcrap needs to be forever banned from the forum and his name never spoken again.

lyle, im pretty new to this and i would like to ask you a few things. Is there any way that i could ask your view on a few things that im kinda stuck on. E.G. im going to Louisville from here in ireland in November to go to the Ali museum and would appreciate if you, or indeed, anyone else could give me a heads up on anything at all i should know

Lyle is an expert when it comes to travelling. He flies to England every week from the US to watch his beloved Liverpool FC play. It's safe to say he doesn't give a fukk when Global Warming is concerned.

Heads up- Don't go in the ghetto(the west end of town)

[killersheep]

Forgot about this one, I guess it's still going on then? It's not even on TV in the US, went from a multiple HBO PPV deal to nothing.

Can't wait to see the Valuev family reunion...
