Haye vs. Solis

[El Kabong]

Smaller heavyweights? Odlainer is breaking scales!!! He weighed 262 in his last fight!!!


Talented yes, but also very hungry

I should have said shorter.

True.....I would like to see Haye, Solis, and Povetkin all fight each other eventually.

As to where these guys are in their careers those fights all make sense.

Haye took a shoulder injury into the bout with Solis the same injury ruled him out of the Commonwealth Games - he might have had one fight and then couldn't compete in the next round.

He went into the Solis fight as the underdog against a more experienced foe. Haye had only recently moved upto the Heavyweight division.

Great credit goes to Solis for taking that huge shot in the 1st round.

As for now, Solis has seemed to lack dedication - he has the talent but maybe not the focus.

He was mean't to be fighting Johnson but Kevin pulled out as he has a potential shot at Vitali in December. I'm not happy that Johnson pulled out to protect a shot as Solis would have been a good test for him.

Now old campaigner Fres Oquendo steps in and the result is not a formality. I think we can judge Solis more after this fight.

If Odlanier and David both have decent runs then a rematch is a natural.

Damnit this is what I am talking about. We need a heavyweight tournament right now. I've made a little better of a list now. Solis, Johnson,Haye or Valuev,Boytsov,Povetkin,Chambers.

I love the part were he says "no one has convincingly beat me yet". Didn't Tua dispose of him early in his career?
