Solis wants to knock David Haye out again

[AdamGB]

If Solis came to fight IN SHAPE he would do well....not hard to pick up rounds when the guy you are fighting throws maybe 5 punches a round

Yes Lyle, throughout his career Haye has consistently thrown 5-6 punches a round...

Yes, but David Haye's punch output has never been the greatest...it has nothing to do with the way Haye fought vs Valuev.

Who needs to throw too many when you land near enough every single one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOF0XLBhfbo

Solis was pretty damn accurate against Barrett, knocking him out 3 rounds earlier than Haye, IMO his shots looked a lot harder and a lot more accurate, only way i see Haye winning is if Solis takes him lightly and doesn't get in the proper shape, the way he's come into the ring as of late has been a joke, he makes Arreola look like if he was in as good shape as Holyfield

Seriously. Solis is menacing and it appears he packs a punch, but the guy is 6'1 1/2 and he weighed 271 pounds in his last fight. I'm surprised more people haven't commented on it considering the hate Arreola received and Arreola is 6'4 1/2 and weighed less than that.

Personally I thought the shot that Solis landed on Barret was more down to very good timing than out and out KO power, like for example the mayweather shot that sent Hatton head first into the corner. I think Floyd landed much harder shots but that one caught Hatton's momentum coming in and as a result hurt him.

Solis couldn't even KO Julius Long.

This fight is unlikely to happen for a long time; Haye must first fight jab and grab and then he wants Wlad or Vitali. Personally I would like to see another match of Solis at HW first but I really think he has the upper hand over Haye any day of the week.

A Solis who had had only 5 pro fights at the time. That was also the most mediocre performance of his entire career, and he at least won every round.

Solis is just more menacing than Haye. Forget about the rounds they ko'd Barrett in but just watch the two fights. Solis bullied Barret from the opening bell, he just kept coming forward and landed accurate punches, controlled aggression. If Barrett tried to clinch or work inside Solis just pushed him away, he's strong, composed and has a natural aggression.

Contrast that with Haye, who whilst he has punching power doesn't have the muscular physical strength of Solis. He doesn't bully and manhandle his opponents. He can look unbalanced at times, falling over a few times in the Barret fight, farcically at times. He also takes shots and is vulnerable, and his workrate isn't the best.

I'd favour Solis to dominate him much the same way as James Kirkland dominated Joel Julio, they are both big punchers, but Kirkland was just stronger and more physically imposing.

I think Haye lacks that and Solis would just bully him although it would be a great fight for the first few rounds.
