Former undisputed world heavyweight Evander Holyfield is backing WBA champion David Haye to defeat either of the Klitschko brothers. Holyfield is impressed with Haye's hand speed and sees the difference in speed as the key to beating the brothers.
“Haye has the fastest hands – and hand speed can get you a long way in this sport,” said Holyfield to Daily Express. “I have been impressed with Haye. He seems very confident in his ability and has a great chance against the Klitschkos, who are very beatable. He’s a great fighter and he is getting better.”
Holyfield doesn't appear to be very impressed with the records of the Klitschkos. He thinks Haye can exploit Wladimir chin, and Vitali's lack of speed.
Holyfield added: “Wladimir has been down a lot of times as a pro and Vitali is not very quick. They’ve had a lot of opponents who have not been at the highest level and Haye definitely belongs at that level. They should be great fights.”
