Dude styles make fights, just coz he knocked a guy out quicker then some other guys means shit all especially when the guy has been knocked out alot, that shit leaves a markRahman is one dimensional....but he would of only had to land once and we would of seen how haye took a real heavyweights punch. No bitterness from me, i wanted haye to win but really...was he ever going to lose? To me he showed lots of flaws, like going straight back when the pressures on...hows that going to help him with someone taller and has reach on him? He wouldnt even get past vitalis jab with that performance

I'll try for an objective analysis here.
Good: His power carried up, he used some great angles, good win for his actual entrance into the heavyweight division, someone that can be metered against other top heavyweights. He made the fight exciting
Bad: His poor defensive technique also carried up, he ate every jab that came at him (bad idea against the Klits), he hasn't learned how to pace himself and had his mouth open after the 2nd round. He also does this thing where he springs straight back, by doing that he's doing half the work for his opponent to knock him down.
Overall: He is not quite ready for the Klits although I'd give him a good chance against most of the other heavies, a good next fight would be Arreola or even Peter.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I think Haye has just cause to believe in his power in a huge way,but he is NO defensive wiz.He was hit tonight with many jabs,his hands were at his hips and he looked vertical.Power can change things in an instint but it is a two way street.All this talk of a KO of Barrett equaling an instant sparking of Wlad is premature.He needs to be graduale and consistant building up....don't be overly rushed to show off lapses against the very best.....and they are there to be shown Imo.Dude is young.
I can't believe I am about to defend David Haye but you do know won a silver medal at the World Amatuer championships and that in unifying the cruiserweight division he has already acomplished much more than Jeff Lacy in the pro ranks too?
As for the rest, yes I hope he gets sparked soon.

Some Bitter posters in here that was an impressive win full stop.
I didnt think about that with Haye I just didn't articulate it very well. Just saying, people were saying that about him (Lacy) a lot more then I've heard Haye fans brag on what he did in the amateurs. Like I said he has more pro credentials.
So no I articulated that fine it was just you who needed clarification.
lmao, Klitshko still wants Lennox![]()
