Wlad handled him self very good during that confrontation. Haye is doing a great job hyping this fight. There's nothing but good that can come from this if Haye can establish him self well at HW. A year ago, I would have said Wlad would have the belts for years to come. Now there's a big "IF".
Haye gassing out problems had to do with losing muscle weight and he had no legs at cruiser whatsoever. Whats your boys excuse?
lol,,,sounds like you just made one for haye,,moron. I dont recall holyfield or moorer who literally had to kill themselves to make weight (espescially moorer) having such problems
Yeah, I dont get where you guys are thinking its wrong that Wlad says he needs to prove himself before getting a shot at the title. Just because he was decent at cruiser means he can move up and immediately challenge the champion?
Shows the irony of when Wlad fans bring up Haye's loss to Carl Thompson but then try to justify Wlad's loss to Purity when the exact same thing happened to Haye when he fought Thompson, they both punched themselves out and ran out of gas.
Carry on. Am enjoying this victory cigar.
uh,,,wlad had never been past the 6th round at that point and totally gassed himself by using purrity as a punching bag for 10 rounds. haye got stopped in the 5th. big difference
Ok I am American and the blatant disrespect for wladimir klitcho is crazy. You all do realize that he has knocked out 5 of his last 7 opponents. and it would have been six if Ibragamov came to fight. But because he isnt a brash talker and in the ring he likes to take his time and pick his opponent apart he's looked at as if he is soft. But get real the man is 6'6 250 and his body looks like its carved from stone. all of you know good and damn well you wouldn't want to see him on the other side of the ring. Cause everyone knows when lennox lewis had been working with emmanuel for awhile that no fighter was under any circumstance going to get in his punching distance without getting pounded with a jab. wladimir is the same way since he has bought into steward's system not one of his opponents have gotten close enough to do anything but get knocked out I haven't seen Haye demonstrate any skills that would lead me to believe he knows how to fight against a bigger stronger man with a much longer reach who sets EVERYTHING up with the jab
I think Haye knows he ain't going to get Wlad within two fights, like i said, Haye is just trying to make some noise. This fight will be far bigger down the line especially if Haye could get one of the other belts.
In two years time, this fight will be huge IMO, providing Haye makes it that far?
In two years time, if Haye fights some top HWs in the meantime, the fight will be huge and good for boxing. And then, who knows, if Haye makes it that far, he def has a chance.
There's no problem, but if Holyfield had to do his due (6 fights against increasing opposition) at HW before a title shot, I don't really see why Haye shouldn't.

So did Haye, he unfired the division within 22 fights when everyone write him off after the Thompson loss, he wants to make the step and fight the best the Heavyweight division has to offer.
I don't see the problem? Why can't Haye beat Wlad? No one knows, they either like him or hate on him.

And Holyfield cleaned out the CW division, Haye still left Cunningham at least, maybe Adamek.
Wlad's taken his losses in stride and here he is, after 53 professional fights, the recognized best HW in the world, bad chin and all. I actually like Haye, I just want to see him in with a HW with a pulse before I jump on the "he'll slaughter Wlad" bandwagon.

Such is life. It was a bad loss, what can i say?
Like i said in the other threads, what was Ross Purity? he was a shoe for Wlad's homecoming. Wlad lost, life goes on.

Do you think Pacquiao can still make 106?
:ugh::ugh::ugh:
Hey genius. Haye was fighting at 190, wait for it, TEN MONTHS before the Thompson fight. See the difference?
15 rounds of punches and still couldn't get that journeyman out of there huh?

Haye threw about 15 rounds worth of punches and jabs in the first three rounds.
Haye didn't know how to box smart back then, he was very naive.

There you go, Haye is just as good a cruiserweight as Wlad is a heavyweight. I agree with you completely.
Though gassing out after 4 rounds is slightly different than gassing after 10.

Yeah the making weight excuse. Didn't Haye used to fight at 190?

Forgetting for a minute that Puritty never floored Wlad or had him hurt, that Wlad had never been 12 rounds before and after 10 had punched himself out, that Wlad was 22 and had 20 fights in less than 2 years and had underestimated Puritty a bit. Ross is still much bigger and stronger and a bigger threat at HW than anyone Haye has faced.
