Corrie Sanders: Wladimir Klitschko Will Stop David Haye

By Ruslan Chikov

Former heavyweight champion Corrie Sanders, the man who knocked out Wladimir Klitschko in two rounds in 2003 and was later knocked out by older brother Vitali in eight rounds in 2004, thinks WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is not big enough to beat Wladimir.

He thinks Haye is good boxer, like Wladimir but not big enough to pose a threat to Wladimir, and Sanders is not confident about Haye's ability to take punches from Klitschko. Sanders weiged an average of 230-pounds with 6'4 in height and 77-inches in reach. Haye weighs an average of 217-pounds with 6'3 in height and 78-inches in reach. Sanders and Haye are similiar in size. Sanders was not as defined as the muscular Haye but he was a deadly puncher with a very strong chin.

"I think Haye is too small for him. He's a good boxer but he's not a big heavyweight. I can't imagine Haye being able to withstand one of Wladimir's punches and Wladimir is a great boxer. I just don't think Haye will be able to beat him," Sanders told Golzka.
