Alexander Povetkin vs. David Haye

[duffgun]

David Haye by knockout baby.. The 14 year old kid on roids would get knocked OUT.

lol povetkin does look like a bit odd.

Povetkin is the better Technician and has the better pedigree of oppsition.
However I feel his defence is not good enough for Haye not to connect.
And if Haye is carrying his power up with him...then Povetkin will go to sleep.

I wouldnt have a problem with this post if haye has proved he can knock out even semi durable heavyweights. we dont know this yet and povetkin hasnt shown any chin problems as of yet. haye's power may or may not be effective at heavyweight. it likely wont have the same impact it did on cruiserweights. povetkin is a pressure fighter and hits much harder then any cruiserweight. it would be a very dangerous fight for haye. he'd have a chance but at this point I'd have to lean toward povetkin who hasnt been hurt in any fights

Thats why i said if Povetkin can take Haye's powershot then its all over for Haye, Trust me most Cruiserweight Have the power to hurt ANY heavyweight.

I say Haye would KO him and i would be willing to bet on that!

Povetkin has never been down in over 250 amateur fights, and he went against some big punchers. Sasha's miles ahead of Haye in boxing skills, and his punches are hard enough to stop the soft-chinned Londoner.

Haye has got to be the most overrated boxer on the planet if so many people think he's defeat Povetkin.

The poll results are disturbing....Haye has to be one of the biggest hypejobs of all time.

I can hardly wait until he fights a top East European heavyweight and gets KOed - his nuthuggers are getting more and more annoying!

Pretty amazed at these poll results...

Haye's a very exciting up & coming puncher, with fast hands & good skills, but there is some big question marks regarding stamina & chin.

These are not question marks on Povetkin - appears to have a very good chin & excellent stamina.
Questionable defence & tends to go straight in, then back, without enough lateral movement, but hopefully that will improve.

See a very good chance of Povetkin taking Haye's best shots early, getting hurt, but still coming on & breaking Haye down as the fight goes on, stopping him late.


While the Chambers fight showed Povetkin still has a lot to work on, heart, stamina & will to win is definitely proved.

I give Haye a chance, but much more likely is Povetkin wins all eight rounds or so on the way to a mercy stoppage.
