Re: Could Haye have beaten Purity, Sanders or Brewster?
Problem I saw is that Haye deviated from what was effective. I remember saying before the fight that if Haye counter jabbed or used it against Wladimir he'd have success much like Brewster did that set everything up.Originally Posted by p4pking
I think he could have, but obviously Sanders and Brewster at their best would have been tough fights for him, and probably a good watch to. You've got to imagine he probably would have beaten Wlad if the big man had shown up in the same form as he did against Purrity and Brewster as well though, clearly Wlad wasn't fit to last 12 rounds on either of those occasions. Maybe Haye would've gotten caught first if Wlad went for broke early thoughwho knows. All I'd say for sure is Id rather watch just about any hypothetical fight you can think of than Haye vs Wlad again.
Haye early when he decided to double and triple jab was doing very well with it and by the third round was finding the range and setting stuff up with it and snapped his head back with it a few times. By the 5th round he abandoned it and I can't imagine why, it's not like Wladimir was countering it.
Haye has shown the mentality to not change up his gameplan, he went in there with a plan to fight on the outside and jump in to try to land the right hand so regardless of him noticing "hmm.. this jab is working, I might have some success if I stick to it...nope gonna just stick to the gameplan" That's the problem against fighters like Brewster or Sanders at their peak cause he'd have to change it eventually. But he doesn't seem to like to, for better or worse.
