Haye vs Wlad Klitschko

[El Kabong]

...if we wanted to talk about who hurt David Haye we'd be talking about Mormeck and Thompson.

I wanted to clear the air about this "slip" you Haye fans keep calling it, it wasn't a slip, it was a lack of skill. Skilled fighters don't put themselves in situations where the slightest touch knocks you on your ass ergo David Haye isn't as skilled as everyone might think.

Did Tyson ever "slip" like that? Did Foreman ever "slip" like that? Did David Tua ever "slip" like that? Did Evander Holyfield (with whom David Haye compares himself to all the time) ever "slip" like that? NO and why Because they as fighters knew that good footwork and a good solid base helps you hit harder and stay upright.

Haye's chin is a question mark at heavyweight and hell even seeing him take Barrett's punch while he was on the canvas didn't answer any questions for me. Bonnin never really checked his chin either. But the thing we didn't know is until the Barrett fight and the Thompson fight, is that Haye is a technically/stylistically flawed fighter who isn't on the same level as the other fighters who have fought for and currently hold titles in the heavyweight division.

I think if David Haye really knew he was going to ammount to something in the heavyweight division he would have challenged Nicolay Valuev/Ruslan Chagaev and THEN challenged Wlad and Vitali instead he challenged Wlad and Vitali which is fine by me, but I think it's more in the hopes that he gets lucky and wins rather than he knows he's going to win.

lol Lyle come on... plenty of fighters have slipped/been caught of balance etc.

Like I've said - it's a rough sport.
Whilst you are making some good points I still don't know why you keep repeating yourself!!
