David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko eyed for early 2009

[Shroomy]

You guys like counting chickens before they hatch? Now I hope this fight comes off. Some people have a warped perception of reality and come fight night they will be reset. You don't know how good Klitschko is because you haven't seen him in against stellar comp. Haye isn't it and Wlad will have another relatively easy night.

No he has been in with bums and he looks crap against them...

Here's my question to you: who has David Haye been in with who is better than either Klitschko or his best opponent? I went through his record and saw 3 names I recognized and none of them are better than the best Klitschko opponent and all but 5 were 200 pounds or less. Mormeck is crap in the 2nd half of any fight, Glen Kelly hasn't done anything amazing except give Roy Jones a spectacular KO win and Enzo Mac looked mundane (although that was because Haye completely overwhelmed him). But who else would you describe as "good" on Haye's record? They don't hit softer in the heavyweight division and they don't hit harder than Wladimir Klitschko.

On the other hand, Klitschko has fought, and beaten:

Tony Thompson
Sam Peter
Lamon Brewster
Chris Byrd
Sultan Ibragimov
Calvin Brock
Eliseo Castillo
Jameel McCline
Ray Mercer
Francois Botha


Granted, the last 3 weren't that good when he fought them, but you've at least heard of them. All the other fighters had winning records when he fought them, 3 of them had belts he took and he gave 4 of them their first loss. Klitschko has an 83.33% KO percentage after 54 fights and Haye has a 90.91% KO percentage after less than half that.

But somehow David Haye looks better to you, right?

you call that list good?

HA!

Those people wouldnt have lasted wioth people like Lewis and tyson

those are real heavyweights, not boring old wlad

when they fight ...come back to me kiddo
