Then they say he is somehow going to work to the inside and knock Wlad out. Somehow they seem to think He'll beat Wlad because of his weak chin and dont take into account that Haye also has a weak chin and will get hit more often in a fight v Wlad than Klit will.
Hit with more jabs? Sure probably. Outside of that I dont think its all a foregone conclusion. Im interested to see how Hayes mobility changes the game, because as you know, most of Wlads opponents arent mobile. And the ones who were mobile cant punch hard. So, we will just have to see how it plays out when it happens.
The shot that KO'd Chambers wasnt much more than a jab, and Chambers chin is better than Hayes. I never said it was a foregone conclusion either, boxing never is. Hayes fans tend to make i sound a lot easier to beat Wlad than it is tho. "Move around a bit, get close and hit weak chin hard", is about all i've heard.
I'm saying he has a chance. Not that he will win. And I'm saying it because he has the combination of being mobile and packing a decent punch... something Wlad's latest opponents havent had. A good chin doesnt do much good if the opponent sits stationary and takes hits contantly while not being able to position himself to return any punches.
