Klitschko: "I'll Punish Haye Slow, Then Knock Him Out"

Video! Post the video!

Probably not too far from the truth.

[Lacrimosa]

the bolded statement........lololololololololololololol. The same Corrie Sanders that was in a life and death slugout with Hasim Rahman. The same Rahman with the most vaunted chin in the division. Let's be serious here, the only top heavyweight Sanders KO'd was Wladimir. The second best stoppage win on his resume, Michael Sprott. Sanders wasn't really that hard of a puncher, he was just fast. Which can be a better asset. Haye is strong, at least as strong as Sanders, and he too is fast. Oh and Sanders didn't even one-punch KO Klitschko, so your assessment of Sanders' power seems that you forgot who Corrie Sanders was, or never saw him fight.

So, probably, Rahman also didnt have a one punch knock out power?
And, probably, Tua also didn`t have that power because he didn`t manage to knock Lewis out... the same Lewis who was knocked out cold by THAT Rahman...
And, maybe, Earnie Shavers also didn`t have one punch knock out power because he was KTFO by Jerry Quarry?

All these statements are as logical as your "bolded statement" to my "bolded statement"...

But IMO the facts are that:

1 Corrie couldn`t use that power wisely... He had low endurance and he was gasing out in two-three rounds, he had week defense and bla bla bla...

2 Wladimir`s chin is not so easy to break... He was knocked down many times, but he was getting up every time... Right now i can make another "bolded statement" and say that Frazier had a glass chin and was easy to get KO because he was down 6 times in the fight with Foreman...

P.S. Yes i don`t watch boxing at all,- i`m a BoxRec kid

[Addition]

"I'll punish Haye slow" really means jab, jab, jab and make the fight as boring as possible.

[Davros?]

I always find the talk between posters before fights funny, one set of people say Wald will defo KO Haye in an easy fight, then the other set of people say he will KO wlad in a few rounds, I find normally the opposite of what most people predict happens so it will probably be a boring UD for Haye lol i doubt it though lol.
Wlad is the favourite for this fight but Haye has good power and speed so he has a chance, Its a bit difficult to predict really as Haye is rather un tested at heavyweight.

Maybe you do watch boxing, but you sure as hell don't comprehend what your seeing. If this really is your reply, wow. Rahman, didn't/doesn't have one punch KO power. The one punch KO of Lewis was nice (and the only top level KO he had. COrrie Sanders is his second best stoppage win) and it ruined Rahman's career. Leading up to that fight Hasim was a boxer puncher. He worked well off of his educated jab and actually mixed things up beautifully. Good combos to the head and body and he threw from angles. His fight with Frankie Swindell was the epitome of what Hasim Rahman was all about. As soon as he caught Lewis looking away (Lewis' damn fault for being too smug) Rahman thought he was a puncher and his performances steadily declined for the rest of his career.

DOn't know why you threw Shavers or Tua in there, but that was filler I can only guess; because your attempts at mocking with those two statements mocked someone, but it wasn't me.

Wladimir isn't easy to KO, I know that, but he is somewhat easy to buzz (there is a difference) and Corrie caught him, buzzed him badly, and didn't let him recover. Haye has more power and is faster than Sanders, but that doesn't mean he will score the KO or that he will survive past the first punch or over 12 rounds. And as long as Wladimir doesn't underestimate David Haye like you or so many other posters on here because they don't like how he baited the Klits into fighting him, then Wladimir should win this fight, and do so impressively. If for one minute he acts like Lewis did in there against Rahman the first time, then the same fate awaits him.

[cuzfozzy]

wladimir cant really say things like that
because what will happen is he will punish haye
and end up getting knocked out himself - lol

wladmimir doesnt have the chin to play with haye
i'm sure the goal will be to take him out as early
as possible (5 rounds or less)

then again maybe he doesnt respect hayes power at all ...
(cruiserweight) ... we'll see if haye has enough power

[P4P Opinion]

Wlad is basically just confirming that he'll go into the fight with his usual tactics, which are extremely effective, whether you consider them boring or not. People are saying that he needs to get Haye out of there quick, but I disagree. It would be potentially suicidal for Wlad to engage Haye toe-to-toe where Haye is most comfortable and has a chance with his power. Wlad should jab Haye from the outside and try and catch Haye coming in with a straight right. As boring a gameplan as this might be, it'll be the most effective way to neutralise Haye in my opinion.

I want Haye to win because I find his style exciting, but I'm not too concerned if he doesn't. I actually fancy his chances as well. I lost a bit of respect for Wlad over the negotiations, but he still seems a genuinely nice guy. Should be a good fight.

Don`t take it to serious "To mock somebody" is the last thing i want to do...

Can`t judge on Rahman, cause i have seen only his past-Lewis fights...

All that i said about Tua and Shavers was only a joke and nothing more... I just didn`t get why did you react in such a way on my statement. I still think and, probably, Wladimir is the only one who can prove or reassure me, that Sanders hits harder than Haye.

I don`t underestimate David... More than that i`m, probably, among very few Ukrainians who understands that in such way Haye is selling the fight, and rises not only his, but also Klitschko`s profit... I have nothing against boxer`s trash-talking, except the cases when it goes too personal...

After Emanuel Steward became Klitschko`s trainer, i haven`t seen that Klitschko prepared badly to his fights... So i think he will be prepared to this one either... Klitschko`s family dignity is also on the line in this fight as David had said many unpleasant things about them... So taking to consideration this, i`m pretty sure that Wladimir will be well prepared and will do his best to dominate Haye...

And about comprehension... Obviously we just have different points of view on the same things...

Agreed. And it's not just the Sanders fight that leads me to question Wlad's chin. The Williamson bout, the way he turn fragile when Brewster tapped his jaw a couple times, Sam Peter, etc.
