Disappointed in Hayes performance!

[mattboxingfan]

What will happen when Wlad lands a flush right cross or solid left hook?

Haye will comeback with a KO right hand and a nice left hook for the way down!

....you think he'll take it that well?

Well it won't be that he'll just stand there and let Wlad hit his guard for the rest of the fight like Chambers did when he landed on him.

I really think you are underrating just how serious a threat Haye can be to the Klits. Haye is a lot faster and hits a damned site harder than "Slow feet reasonable hand speed" Eddie Chambers. Wlad knew he could walk through pretty much everything Chambers could hit him with as he has no power at the top level yet he still wasn't confident enough to take many risks in the fight. Now I can respect that his style takes some skill and discipline but Haye will cause him trouble he has not seen the likes of in a long time even if Wlad does pull off the win, which I am not too narrow minded to completely write off at all as Wlad is a world champion fighter and has good power and Hayes biggest weakness like Wlad has to be his chin.

The biggest weakness if this fighter was to challenege Wladimir is DISCIPLINE. Wladimir doesn't hand out any gifts or openings and he WILL control pace and range....any wide "hopeful" punches thrown by this challeneger will be blocked and met with harsh retaliation.

So it's been a while since Wlad has seen a quick dangerous puncher has it? How long has it been for your boy? He's NEVER seen anyone like Wlad and as Manny Steward said about Sam Peter those many years ago "When he fights Wladimir we're going to welcome him to BIG TIME BOXING"

To be fair, I think Hayes chances against the Klitschkos have got to be just as good or better than the other HWs out there right now. Think about it. All the big names are out. The rest are overweight or just dont have the motivation. Who else is there?

To the point of the thread, Haye did good for the tools he has got. Ruiz is simply a durable guy. And dont count the Tua KO because I believe Ruiz has improved defensively and in his ability to take a hard punch since way back then.
