Klitchtko vs Haye = Calzageh vs Lacy

Dudley14y ago

I remember the pressers with Calzageh and Lacy when their unification fight was around the corner and I was so sure... SO sure that Lacy was going to put in a top performance because Lacy had Bermingham (same trainer as Winky) in his corner. All the pressers look like this was going to be an even fight, right down the to skills vs will power vs speed...Well... if you saw the aftermath it was a brutal brutal display of one guy talked big, while the other guy backed it up. I get the sense, someone is going to lose, and lose big. These Klitchko v Haye pressers have the same completion. It's really tense, you believe both fighters don't like each and you might give them both the same odds...depending. I'm not picking a winner... but I have a feeling...whoever loses. Won't be boxing much longer afterwords.

In lose, I mean reputation. If it's close, then both guys deserve respect. If it's not, which I don't think it will be...one guy's rep is toast who can't talk his way into another big fight. Another guy's Legacy is garbage losing to a Blown up Cruiser-weight at the height of his ability. :P I don't think it will be close either. One of them will get KO'd and will be a devastating lose. I also feel Wlad has more to lose than Haye. Haye will be a laughing stock but he will go off to his acting career and that will be that. Wlad has his legacy to lose whereas Haye hasn't reach that level to lose his legacy.

Well, Haye certainly won't be boxing much afterwards win or lose. And if Wlad gets KO'd I'm not sure he can come back from that. Especially with it coming from David Haye. This will be explosive whilst it lasts. In lose, I mean reputation. If it's close, then both guys deserve respect.
