Vladimir Klitschko really this good or just bad contenders??

[generalbulldog]

Here's a good one. Prime Mike vs Prime Vitali. Who wins?

As good as they are, I'll still look forward to the day Haye gets in the ring with one of them and knocks them out!

Mate, take off your St George Tinted Specs.

Haye wouldn't knock either of them out. They'd jab his chicken head off.

The Haye vs Klitschko comments keep me in stitches.


David Haye has a shot like any boxer with a good punch has a shot. Yes, yes, hypothetically he could catch one of them cold and early with a right hand like any number of heavies have been upset over the years. Almost any heavyweight could be substituted in for Haye and have the same thing said. Hasim Rahman, Oleg Maskaev, Cris Arreola, Samuel Peter, etc etc, ad nauseum. That's boxing. It happens.

But chances are so slim, and fading faster and faster as the rounds go on, that this ACTUALLY happens.

Hey, I reeeeaaalllly wanted Ricky Hatton to beat Pacman, and you see where all my wishing got me.

David Haye is a chump. A quasi-talented cruiserweight with a decent punch now trying to make a living in the land of the giants. End of story. Now if he decideds to run and hide or keep getting injured for another few years and finally signs to fight the brothers in their 40's I say his chances climb.

Today and tomorrow though, either Klitschko retires him.


Someone help me though. What is the fascination with Haye? Is it because there's no Tysons and Bowes running around? Are we that desperate?

What did you say?

Sorry mate, couldn't read it properly, the red stripe runs right through the middle of these specs!

I was only playing the wind up merchant, as much as I'd like to see it, I know the chances are slim.

But still possible

Glad you can see the funny side.

Wlad is good but the contenders are too raw, rushed or poor. Nothing Wlad can do about it.

The HW division is crap. It's a shame that Klitschko will probably never get his just due (or get the tests he deserves) by wading through this riff-raff. Klitschko will never meet a Tyson, a Lennox, or a Holmes in the ring. Yes... it's no fault of Wlad's. Just unfortunate timing.
