Haye/Vitali allegedly signed for June 09 !!

[C-Lo]

Haye made two mistakes here:

1) He should've taken a couple more fights against other heavyweights.

2) He signed to fight the WRONG Klitschko. Vlad is A LOT more chinny than Vitali and that would've been Haye's best chance.

Well major credit to Haye then... I echo the sentiments in this thread that he will almost surely get pummelled for however long it lasts, hell Vitali could spark him clean out at any point. I also don't see how Haye will hurt Vitali with anything, and he doesn't have the chin or stamina to outbox him for 12 rounds. Would be an incredible win if Haye could do it, maybe he see's something in Vitali, who knows. He didn't look rusty or slow to me against Peter, hadn't really lost a step from what I saw. It's possibly Haye will have some good success early in the fight if he uses good movement and darts in and out, but as soon as he get's the least bit tired, drops his hands, get's cornered, he is getting laid out. No other way I can see this going tbo.

Fuck Vitali-Haye, I want Wlad-Haye ,its way more interesting, I think Vitali is in a different league because he can't get hurt, but these two are athletic punchers who have weak chins, and this fight I actually see way for Haye to win, whereas against Vitali I really see no chance unless Haye fights guys like Samuel Peters, and I can get a better sense of where he is as a heavyweight, if making cruiserweight was really difficult for him that could account for the knockdowns as a cruiserweight, we've seen plenty of fighters chin's improve with weight, I want to see where his chin is at.

I understand everyone is saying Wlad is chinny but I just don't see Haye bothering him, he doesn't punch like Corrie Sanders in a sneaky quick manner....he swings like Sam Peter only it may look different as Haye is in shape...I see Haye getting the worst from Wlad rather than Vitali.

Vitali will just whip his ass...Wlad will methodically take him apart and then KO him, he will feel beaten before the fight is stopped and I think that is more psychologically devistating than just getting your ass whipped just because you can make excuses for yourself like "I need better defense" or "I need better stamina".....Wlad will give you time to try different things and they won't work and you will get that 1-2 and maybe a left hook landed on you even if you are covered up.....it's got to really mentally devistate you.

Agreed. Vitali would just put him to sleep. Wlad would ruin him

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

Haye is about to find out that the cruiserweight days are over. If Jean Marc Mormeck can put him on his ass then I'm sure either of the Klitschkos will put him on his back.

The move up to heavyweight SHOULD help Haye's chin but you never know
