Klitschko versus Haye

[moofo]

The Thompsoin fight was AGES agio when Haye was still green.
That was a good lesson and I believe gave him the kick in the arse he needed.
He has grown naturally into a heavyweight as well now.
When he doesn't have to boild down to make weight he will be a veruy solid athletic 220lbs which is perfect for a Heavyweight.
Although he will give up weight advantage he will still have plenty of speed and power to trouble the big guys.
He can also BOX...he isn't just a slugger.
He throws a decent range of punches and particularly a good uppercut.
I just hope he hasn't left it too late for Mormeck with regards to struggling to make weight.
Defo one to watch and the fact he is British is even better.
He blew Bonin away inside a round who's only other defeat was a controversial stoppage to Fraudley Harrison in the 9th round I think.

Pretty much what everyone else think he has the talent and speed and power but can he take a heavyweights shot. I don't think we'll know the answers to this for maybe 2 years at least.

DURAN_IS_GOD Did you manage to watch the Pryor vs Arguello tale I put up for you last night. If so what did you think.

hey mate, yes i did catch it thanks. i was really impressed with Pryor and his skills. he was a ferocious fighter, im definitely gonna try and get hold of more of his fights before i make my prediction regarding SRL!!!! lol what do you make of the bottle mixing affair??

i think you make some really good points, you dont have to weigh 240 pounds to be effective at heavy, just look at holyfield. his natural power should travel up to heavy and i think his explosiveness will do for most of the guys out there right now.

Good thing about Haye is that he has other tools...

Wlad showed vs Peter that you need more than power and size.
Wlad showed vs Byrd twice that you need more than just speed.

Haye should remain low in weight (220) and athletic as mentioned earlier so he can land those speedy power shots. Also so he can jab and move vs bigger men.

I really hope he has success at heavyweight.

Do you remember this....


Haye Vs Solis.
Haye rocks him in the opening round.
Of course he lost but he gave a great account back then.
He has come a long way since back then too.
And guess who just happens to be making waves in the Heavyweight division right now after legging it from Cuba?

These 2 could well be meeting up again as Pros.

Don't know really. Many will say it's dodgy while just as many will say nothing happened. But it is strange mixing 2 substances when he was only supposed to be taking water. But I think everything was legit for the rematch where he stopped him quicker, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Plenty of small things happen like this in boxing and in sport in general. Would Ali have recovered sufficiently if Angelo Dundee hadn't help that tear along and bought Ali valuable extra time, We'll never know but it doesn't take away from what Ali achieved.

P.S Did you get my pm I sent you

This fight is a while off, at least a couple of years would be my guess. But who thinks Haye once he has established himself at heavyweight can take Wladimir's crown?? I think haye has a great chance. He is incredibly athletic, has great handspeed, very good combinations and with the added weight can only assume that his stamina should hopefully improve. I see this fight similar to the Sanders fight where handspeed and raw power do for Wladimir.... what are your thoughts guys??

But can haye take a punch? can haye take at punch from a world class heavyweight? and can he take Wlad's right hand?

i just replied to your PM mate. yeah its a grey area, difficult to know what to make of it all, like you say the rematch settled the score once and for all

Can Wlad avoid his?

We all know the question is whether Haye can take a big HW punch...but can a big HW avoid good pop/speedy right hands by a young and atheltic, rangy Haye?

They may take it...but can they take 2, 3, 6, 10, 20 of them throughout a fight?

Only time will tell...either way, he is a welcome addition to the HW scene

[duffgun]

I think it all depends on what happens when he gets in a tough fight with a top heavyweight. i would like haye to beat wlad as kayjay hates haye so much.
