But Can We Admit the Fact That...

[Beanflicker]

None of those guys you mentioned talked a FRACTION of the shit that Haye did, and none of those fights had a fraction of the hype that this one did.

Haye made a lot of big promises and he fell short by a mile. Disgraceful performance no matter which way you slice it.

SSSSSSSHHHHHHH.... lets let the pictures do the talking.

Hahaha, brilliant find. Wlad has grown on me a lot. Seems like a really, funny cool guy. Good video.

[Kev]

That was brilliant

[Fenster]

That's some seriously subtle ownage.

Yep ,its definatley about taking heads and giving head.

I actually didn't think it was that bad for a heavyweight fight. Both guys were in shape (how many HW fights can we even say that?) and the last round was really exciting.

Just because the HBO commentary was shit doesn't mean the fight equaled their assessment. They wanted to equate Haye with being a bum and a loser (except the real fighter who commentated.)

HBO especially Larry Merchant is very quick to shit all over a fight, but in this case they gave Wlad credit but just called Haye out for not coming to fight and rightfully so.

Look at all the shit Haye talked about Wlad's competition but in the end he was even worse.

Well in fairness:

I never listen to any pre-fight talk or hype. We have a much better sport than WWF and I do not believe I have to resort to such build-up tactics to enjoy boxing, and if I had to, I would no longer be a fan of the sport.

I just think the best way to build up a fight is to show the fighters previous fights and that should be enough. If it isn't, well you may have a disguised mismatch on your hands.

To people bothered by Hayes shit talking, you only have yourselves to blame. Just don' tune in. I don't listen to celebrities or sports figures for political advice. Further, boxers hardly ever do what they are going to say they are going to do (inside the ring or out). Every boxer says he is retiring and except for Lennox, it is usually a lie. Every boxer interviewed says he is going to win VIA TKO/KO and rarely does so. I don't think this is his fault, almost always a boxer truly has to believe he has the goods to get teh job done in order to be successful at any level. Asking who is going to win and in what fashion is wasting everyone's time. The truly humble boxer is a rare specimen.

I dont care how much trash haye talked. I am trying to discuss the actual accomplishments of each of the fights we are comparing, and only that.

And I stand by the opinion that of the opponents which I listed for Wladimir, Haye gave the most competitive showing. No one has addressed how any of the fighters in the fights I listed accomplished any single measure of success against Wlad. Know why? They accomplihed zero.

The ones who tried to fight also accomplished next to nothing. That is my point.
Riddle me this...
What was the last fighter to win ANY rounds against Wlad?
