David Haye Confronts Klitschko

[Kev]

If he's respectful and a great ambassador for boxing but a glass-jawed gunshy bore and the other guy is a tool but actually wants to fight and is exciting when he does fight then I think it's obvious which guy any boxing fan would choose.


Nobody liked Mike Tyson because he was a great ambassador for boxing.

How many David Haye fights have and Wladimir Klitschko fights have you actually seen?

Haye sent most of the crowd to sleep when he plodded to victory against Ismail Abdoul just 5 fights ago. He was booed and jeered out of the ring.

Fragomeni a fat 5 ft 9 plodder almost upset him busting his face open and only Haye's heavy hands managed to save him from once again being upset.

In fact if you back through Haye's career he's been constantly criticised for poor stamina, being lazy, having no chin etc. He was unimpressive against Lasse Johansen, knocked out by Carl Thompson and has looked vulnurable in a number of other fights.

He has looked excellent only in his last three fights demonstrating his impressive KO power.

So one guy is getting better to watch and one is getting worse.

Truth is we don't know how Haye is performing. He landed huge shots early against Bonin and Enzo so we never saw what his stamina was like or how he'll cope against someone who doesn't fall down when he hits them.

His fight with Mormeck was superb but he was almost stopped himself.

Not denying that Haye isn't an exciting boxer to watch, and he does have tremendous power but he's yet to do anything at heavyweight at all yet whilst Klitschko is now a two time world champ and has a very clear fight plan to follow, Thompson his mandatory, Povetkin, the winner of the IBF organised tournament to find a mandatory challenger for Wlad and then Sam Peter for a chance to become the first unified champ since Lennox Lewis.

Meanwhile Haye hasn't beaten anybody at heavyweight at all.
