Solis had just beaten the great Felix savon in the Cuban championship and was ranged the best amateur 91 kilo boxer in the world.
Here he faces David haye at the world championship of boxing.
David haye starts out dominating almost knocking out Solis causing a huge upset, but as soon as it gets rough he starts to fade badly.
Its almost like he looses his self belief punch by punch and literally throws the fight away.
Haye is such a underrated talent, he have the goods too beat enyone, but he simply lacks the hart and warrior mentality it takes when you face another great and things gets difficult.

haye's better than those lunks, as sad as that might sound. i'd pick him to get a WYou wish!! the dude went life n death with lolenga mock and mormeck ffs! Not to mention an old cat chewed him up...and lets be honest he was embarrassed vs wlad!!
For some reason, the same people who were so high on Haye seemed to forget that Ruslan Chagaev defeated Valuev (without running) when they met for the WBA title 2 years earlier.
Chagaev also had a win over a still active/relevant John Ruiz in 06 and an undefeated Vladimir Virchis (who was arguably a top 10 fighter at the time) haye fought a 39 yr old audley lol. Despite this, Chagaev found himself ranked below Haye in almost every magazine or on every website!
Incidentally haye also gets props for 'rocking' the cuban great odlandier solis as an amateur (he eventually lost though lol) chagaev actually beat a great (felix savon) TWICE!
Hes been given more opportunities simply because he's more "marketable" due to being British and a trash talker.
There is something really ****ed up with this sport and its fanbase!!
povetkin lost to a very limited CW in huck (i had huck up 8-4. that fight was all but a blatant robbery.)
No he didn't, and besides who is not allowed a close fight in his career?? Larry holmes carreer was littered with them! Apart from the fact that titanium headed huck would give haye hell too, huck did lose! It was certainly no more than a draw!! Close fight but i think sasha did enough!
Povetkin is a multiple gold medallist and holder of the WBA belt and he's fought far better names than haye (with the exception of wlad) CHAMBERS, CHAGAEV, HUCK, BYRD, ESTRADA, DONALD ETC There is no argument whatsoever that proves haye is better than povetkin or chagaev!
Who the hell are you? What have you done?? I know you suffer from jeff lacy syndrome (i.e look at the big sixpacked black dude he would murder these fat bums) BUT COME ON....haye is very vulnerable and both povetkin and chagaev have solid chins!
and chagaev is well beyond his best days, and was never great to begin withGreater than haye ever will be.
TBH byrd, chambers and chagaev are all better/more seasoned HW's than haye! Chambers beat up the giant ukranian (and a big prospect at the time) dimitrenko, he outboxed and floored him 3 times that is certainly better than barely winning against useless valuev in valuevs last ever fight! Eddie also outboxed prime sam peter, thats definitely better than beating up a 40 yr old ruiz! He also gave povetkin his most awkward ever fight prior to huck! Better than losing to carl thompson or getting beat up by mormeck! And byrds resume and ability ****s all over hayes!!
It's difficult to assess his standing at HW, since he avoided all named contenders (i.e. Povetkin, Chagaev).

People seem to forget that Wlad promised to give Haye a pizza face and then KO him but also decided to fight like a pus sy. Haye was stood in front of Wlad with his hands down and Wlad was too scared to throw anything but a jab. To fight like that while having a big size advantage is embarrassing for the sport.
Wlad was defiantly scared to engage haye and go for the knock out.
But it was also very clear that Wlad and emanuel stewart had developed a very effectiv gameplan that would keep haye at bay and away from getting close enourg to land enything.
Wlad used every fysical asset he had over haye in that fight to perfection.
The fight more then anything else showed have great Wlad really is,and not have bad Haye really is.

He is a pretty average fighter with sub par stamina. I really do think his fanbase consist of nothing but homosexuals who admire his physique and know **** about boxing.
OK we get the point mate. You do not rate the man but what excuse do you have for typing a 1000 word essay on your hatred for Haye? And what fanbase are you talking about? There is no fan base, it is made up of nothing but a bunch of bandwagon jumpers who are now seriously butt hurt because he froze up against Wladimir.
Haye landed a handful of meaningful blows, a 46yr old Holyfield was tattooing The big show all night.
The fact is I don't think he is particularly talented. He is no once in a lifetime fighter.
All this sh1t about his speed, making out he was as fast as a prime Jones, like I said he is no faster than Wlad who is naturally far bigger & even if he was quicker than Wlad it wouldn't be enough to determine the outcome.
My guess is that you are a britt right ? and you have me mixed up with some other deluded Haye fanboy on the board.
because there is no way in hell that i think he has the speed of roy jones or is the second coming of Ali.
Wlad did say post fight that Haye was very fast,but I agree that Wlad is just too effectiv, and have too damm long reach for haye to ever have a chance of winning.
BTW I dont think haye have eny business at heavyweight and that is partially the reason why I say talent I mean at 91 kilos.
He is a pretty average fighter with sub par stamina. I really do think his fanbase consist of nothing but homosexuals who admire his physique and know **** about boxing.
And Holyfield didn't run ?
He ran from valuev the whole damm fight,
Haye ran but he avoid the punches better and landed more meaningful that the reason why he won the fight and not some ridiculous conspiracy BS the whole world know you only say in order to falsely make you argument stronger.
You see unlike you I dont think in black or white,I think Haye is far from perfect and he talks the dumbest **** ever, and he has a weak hart that makes him too fearful.
Im not even a fan of him and betted against him in the Wlad fight.
The whole idea of the thread was to demonstrate what is wrong with Haye.
But as soon as the word talent comes up,dumb people like you cant comprehend that a fighter can have faults and talents and the the whole **** storm starts.

And Haye didn't run? Lmao. He didn't stop running, literally whilst a 46yr old Holyfield was in Valuevs face for majority of the fight.
He certainly beat Valuev more convincingly, in fact he won pretty much every round.
They only gave the fight to Haye because of the dodgy decision & to keep the dream of Haye vs one of the brothers alive.

Actions > words.
Haye has another chance to prove himself in a couple months. Chisora is going to be in his face all night and make it a hard fight to win. This isn't a guy who will be suffering a kd or standing eight. Haye is in some serious **** this time.

Ugly looking things aren't they. The top is also.
Hahaha I can't stop laughing. He really has brainwashed so many with his hilarious promises that never materialise and ridiculous statements.
''Carl ''*****cat'' Thompson is going to get knocked into retirement. Mark my words!''

Stop talking nonsense
What the **** are you talking about ?
He beat valulev and rocked him in the last round and that`s a fact.
If you think Holyfield beat valulev better by running from for dear life the last halft of the fight then that just shows me that you dont know have too score a fight and your opinion means ****.Big deal he rocked a 500lb immobile useless sasquatch in the last round!! Try doing in in round 1 david you slick, fast, ATG you...
Lets award the toemeister his MBE right now folks!!
lol heres the thing...an extremely high number of people who had seen Valuev's previous bout with Holyfield thought he lost and Haye-Valuev turned out to be one of the most boring displays of boxing in recent memory.
The fight was close for the most part and going into the final round it seemed like the contest was up for grabs. Haye closed strong though and rightfully won a majority decision.
Yet, for some reason, the same people who were so high on Haye seemed to forget that Ruslan Chagaev defeated Valuev (without running) when they met for the WBA title.
Chagaev also had a win over a still active/relevant John Ruiz and Vladimir Virchis ( who was arguably a top 10 fighter at the time) haye fought a 39 yr old audley lol. Despite this, Chagaev found himself ranked below Haye in almost every magazine or on every website.
Incidentally haye also gets props for 'rocking' the cuban great odlandier solis as an amateur (he eventually lost though lol) chagaev actually beat a great (felix savon) TWICE!
Chagaev actually tried against wladimir but was outclassed by a fighter on top of his game, haye embarassingly ran for 12 rounds following yrs of promising a devastating KO... he then retired on the millions you gave him whereas chagaev has tried to re-establish himself as a top HW against a genuine top 5 (imo a top 3) ranked HW alexander povetkin! Haye has set up a fight for himself following a press conference scuffle with another loser..
Hes been given more opportunities simply because he's more "marketable" due to being British and a trash talker.
There is something really ****ed up with this sport and its fanbase no??
P.s chris byrd was the REAL DEAL!! A slick, fast, smallish heavyweight WITH BALLS!! Haye is a salesman.
