Solis vs. Austin and Cloud vs. Zuniga

[Kev]

I like Solis' style. He's just aggressive and a bully. Walks relentlessly forward, throws a punch, follows it up with a push, doesn't seem to give a shit about what's coming back at him. He's like a Sherman Tank.

You actually think this bowling ball of a fighter can beat David Haye?

He has pretty good hand speed for a bowling ball. If Haye can't hurt him than Solis walks through him

His handspeed is okay, I like the way he places his shots, and he's by no means a terrible fighter, I just don't see anything in him that makes me think he can compete with the division's best.

Since when does beating Valuve, Harrison and Barrett make one the divisions best? There's a difference between the divisions best and the divisions most talented.

That dq was the right call

Well, I guess it all depends on how you define it, but by almost everyone's account David Haye is one of the three best HW's in the world. His resume in the division is completely lacking, but he has a lot of talent and I don't think he loses to anyone bar the Klitschko's at HW.

He's the most talented. That I don't doubt. But he's not stepping up for a reason. Doubt. He doesn't believe he's the best and he knows he can't clean out the division like he said he would. He wants a Klitschko fight cuz he's looking to cash out. Till he gets it he will take on the easiest opponent he possibly can.

I think we agree here as well. Though I do believe Haye isn't stepping up because he has discovered that it's much more lucrative to beat up no-hopers in front of sold-out arenas in his hometown than fight Wlad who will likely KO him and seriously damage his reputation and earning power. For what it's worth, I think he has a decent chance of beating Vitali.

AS much as David Haye annoys me, I don't doubt his self belief that he is the best in the division. I don't think he beats Vitali though. No way. But Wlad might be a bit more vulnurable to Haye's shots.
