V. Klitschko -333
D. Haye +200


Have also seen other sites listing Vitali as high as -450 favorite.

The bookies have spoken, Haye isn't much of a threat.

What was Hopkins in the Pavlik fight? +350?
How about Pacquiao? +300?

Haye looks like a great bet. I'd much rather lay the paper on Haye at that price.

Vitali will still hit him, he will keep his distance with his jab. So the same problem arrises, Haye just can't take the punishment from Vitali to win IMO.

That's why I always wanted him to fight Wlad, at least then we know he can get something done if he lands big. Problem is, with Vitalis iron chin I doubt that Haye can hurt him

We have no idea how his legs are, he didn't move at all against Peters

That's true.

The way I see it is that Haye will have to take some big shots at some point in the fight, and I just don't think Haye will be able to take them.

I suppose there is a chance he will be too fast for Vitali, so can avoid his punches (Similar to DLH-Pac), but I don't see Haye being able to fight that way, it's just not him

You do what you have to do to survive, lol. I never thought I would see Pacquiao fight that way either.

.

Pacquiao was +150 buddy, where you got +300 god only knows.

I was at the MGM grand leading up to the fight and Oscar was never more than -200. Closed at -170 with Pac at +135.


The Hopkins fight is you are correct, but how many more of those can you think of?

I am glad to hear that kind of logic being discussed on this thread. Haye/Klit brothers threads usually turn into flame wars.
Anyway I agree with your analysis completely. Haye just isnt the kind of fighter who can beat Vitali.

I am not a David Haye fan by any stretch but I give him credit for seeking out a fight it seems he cannot win at a time where everyone in boxing wants to take the easy way to the top.

I mean a Pac stoppage.

I mean a Pac stoppage.

Well thats a lot different. You can probably get much higher odds if you want to bet on Haye by stoppage. Against Vit that would prob be 8-1.
