Although I asked earlier in the thread, I'll try again, for the people who think Haye will beat Vitali, can you explain your reasoning?
For as bad as Klitschko supposedly looked, did you know he threw more than 1000 punches? A heavyweight throwing a thousand punches? When was the last time that happened? Did you know he also thew 750 jabs? 750 jabs? That is a RECORD for a heavyweight. In fact, no other heavyweight has even come close to that number (the closest according to compubox was 600). Who cares if the jabs weren't strong punches? Moreover, check out the punch deficit: Johnson landed 65 total punches and Klitschko landed 300, Johnson landed 5 total power punches and Klitschko landed 140.
It seems to me that people are confusing a boring performance with a lousy performance. The two aren't the same.
Also, consider that in each fight Vitali somehow manages to dominate with a captial, and violent, D. He comes with a gameplan that is slightly altered for each opponent and it works every, single time. When was the last time he even lost a round? 2003? What makes you think Haye has the key to the puzzle that is Vitali Klitschko? His Hayemaker? Lennox punched harder than Vitali and Haye isn't even close to the Lennox level.
I am not bookie and can't claim to have the insight they have, but it appears that these odds are a classic case of hype getting in the way of logic.
It's a similar situation with the Pacquiao v. Mayweather odds. Pacquiao is the man, but no way he beats Mayweather and the odds are unreasonably close for that fight.
My money is on Mayweather and Klitschko. Fenster, where's yours?
