Haye probably pulls this one off, but I think there will be some scary moments for him....like when Valuev first hits him in the back of the head and that WILL happen.
Am I alone in thinking that if Haye doesn't make easy work of Valuev he's pretty much exposed?
Valuev has beaten nobody of note. His best win is against John Ruiz, and that took him two tries and even the Germans thought Ruiz beat him first time around.
He's beaten only complete jobbers. His best win was against a woeful Segei lyakhovich who fought a dreadful dreadful fight that night.
Chagaev beat him easily and he should have lost to Evander Holyfield. I mean come on, would ANYBODY in the top 20 lose to Evander Holyfield now?
Valuev is worse than Primo Carnero, he's only better than Tye Fields because he has a chin.
He's a complete joke of a world champion and Haye, even at 100 lbs and 7 inches smaller should be able to smash him.
As Valuev is so much bigger I won't demand Haye blows him out in a few rounds, but if he doesn't win virtually round and win them with ease I don't see how he can be considered anything like a threat to the Klitschko's.
Wlad and Vitali would not lose a round to Valuev.
I hope Haye wins, so we don't have to sit through Valuev-Ruiz III.
I wouldn't be surprised if Valuev stopped a tired Haye late in the fight but I reckon he'll avoid punching himself out and win on points.
Not really.
Even if Haye loses (without being done in 1 round or something humiliating) would you completely right him off against the likes of -
Adamek
Arreola
Povetkin
Haye vs these types of smaller guys would still be exciting unpredictable fights, no?
Hardly anyone gives him a chance against the Klits anyway. He'd have to KO Valuev in pretty spectacular fashion to make people think he is a serious threat to those two.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
#1 I don't rate Adamek as a true heavyweight just yet...who's to say if Golota even trained for that fight. Let Adamek handle someone a little fresher and we'll see how he does.
#2 I would write Haye off vs Povetkin simply because although Alex seems pretty chinny to me, he is still a very solid boxer.
#3 We'll have to see how Arreola reacts to losing before we pass judgement on that fight.
I think Haye has talent, he's got decent handspeed (though he does loop his punches too much), he has good pop so far, and he is always in shape...but I think his style is horrible, his defense and chin are suspect, and he hasn't shown me he can do much boxing. David Haye WILL NOT win moving backwards vs any of the big boys...if you move backwards vs them you're moving into the red zone, you have to stay close and negate the height and reach advantage.
I think David Haye is far more concerned with how he looks winning as opposed to how he's going to win, and because of that I think he's in for a rough night.
..didn't vote. Couldn't find the who cares button.
Hidden Content Click clack ! Give up the purse.........or yetti will find you.
No I wouldn't be opposed to seeing those fights, but he would be effectively written off as a world title challenger.
I mean look at Arreola, Sam Peter, Tony Thompson etc. Who cares two shits about them now? They just don't have it, they have been exposed. The gap between the Klitschko's and everyone else is just too vast.
Unless Haye dominates Valuev he will just go straight into the list with Peter, Arreola etc and a fight with the Klits would have zero interest to me.
Does anyone get excited about a Klitschko fight? They are so far ahead of the opposition we know exactly what will happen, just a slow, steady, cautious beatdown of their opponent.......
If Haye wants to make it look like he can change all that he can't afford to lose much more than a round to Valuev imo, who is possibly the worst world champ in any weight class.
