My prediction for Haye/Klitschko bout

[rjj tszyu]

OK Haye can go about this a couple of ways...

#1 Haye can try and pounce on Wlad early in which case he may KO Wladimir OR tucker himself out and just get battered for as long as Wlad wants to keep him around.

#2 Haye can try and box with Wladimir and just eat jabs until either Wladimir tires out and Haye KO's him or Wladimir just hammers Haye and David never even wins a round.

#3 Haye is indecisive on whether he should attack or lay back and in that case there is either a clash of heads, Wlad is caught off guard and KO'd, or Haye is just obliterated by Wladimir's power as Haye's chin has NEVER been tested by a heavyweight of note.

I think with Manny Steward in his corner and his psyche in very good shape I see Wladimir being cautious of Haye's power meanwhile landing meaningful and PAINFUL punches which will wear Haye down and stop him in 5-7 rounds.

I have been equal in my view, as equal as I can be...I have listed the ways in which either fighter can win or lose the match. I support Wladimir, I think he's too big, too skilled, and too experienced to be beaten by David Haye....I have been wrong before but this fight IMO is the begining of the end of David Haye

I'm glad your finally giving Haye a chance of winning. I think this is a "pick em" fight. It's a case of who lands clean on who first for me, but with Haye's clear speed advantage I think he may just get there first.

...I don't give Haye a chance, I was just letting everyone know what COULD happen.

Wladimir is going to own him with the jab, Haye will just throw 1 punch at a time and slow down and then get smacked down with the right cross.

I think it's a bit unfair in any fight to give a fighter absolutely no chance at all, no matter what his past results may have shown. Although I still think Wlad will win, I think Haye has a chance of smacking him one. I certainly doubt whether Wlad has met someone of Haye's speed, and whether Haye has met someone of Wlad's power.

I really hope Haye can make a huge upset here, cos' something needs to be done to liven up the Heavyweight division, and the Klitschko bros certainly aren't gonna do it.

The only way wlad is gonna own him is if he holds him to death and is allowed to get away with it. Otherwise I have Haye winning by KO. I don't see Haye beating Vitali though. he's too big and too good.

[BIG H]

I've said all along I think both Klitchko's maul Haye and I still do, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to me if Haye knocks out Wlad, if Corey Sanders can do it I'm sure Haye could (don't think he will though) As for Vitali, I wouldn't see Haye getting past 3 rounds

...yeah what am I thinking 52 wins and 46 KO's at heavyweight, Wladimir's power is OBVIOUSLY untested vs a CRUISERWEIGHT of David Haye's level, and the only way Wladimir has racked up those 52 wins is because he was allowed to hold.

People can talk all they want to about Wladimir's chin, but he never got KO'd by Carl Thompson

There's a reason you have to continually make excuses for him right?
He would not be champ right now if he wasn't allowed to hold. I would bet that.

You can talk all you want about Haye getting KOed by Thompson but then why is wladdy so afraid of him then? Why would team klit-erus demand for him to agree to fight 3 fight against them? Because they know Haye can pull it off. Too bad the klits are not as confident as you lyle.

wladdy wanted big bro to fight Haye because he's afraid. Accept that.

[El Kabong]

Bx, Wlad isn't afraid of David Haye, Wladimir is a PRIZE fighter, WLADIMIR has the belts, David Haye has had 2 fights vs lackluster competition and without an overwhelming amount of crowd support....now what about that situation says "David Haye deserves a good deal when he fights Wladimir"....Wlad is taking the risk (to please the fans I might add) and therefore WLAD gets the better deal.

What kind of response do you want Wlad to give Mr. Haye

"Oh I'm sorry, you're a cruiserweight champion and have had 2 heavyweight fights vs lame ass competition....oh please take 50%... NO 75% of the purse....I might as well just fight this one for free as I am just so honored at the chance to be in the ring with you....wow David Haye....it is just amazing to be in the same room as you"

Is there a reason you denegrate Wlad and belittle his accomplishments? I know Wlad isn't a perfect fighter (as there is no such thing). What he is, is a superior technical boxer, he is athletic, he comes into each fight in great shape, he follows a strategy and though he may be a little cautious at times he KO's pretty much anyone who sets foot in the ring with him.
