DO people agree that whoever lands first is going to win? (Wlad-Haye)

[Jim Jeffries]

Haye=6 foot 3
Wlad= 6 foot 6
6 foot 6 - 6 foot 3 = 3 inches

I swear some peoples maths is messed up, If Wlad is 6 foot 7 then vitali is 6 foot 8 and a half and no way is Vit 4 and a half inches taller than lewis.

Haye looks smaller than Barrett (6'3") to me.



Lennox Lewis is 6'5". 6'8 1/2 - 6'5" is 3 1/2 inches.

Ironic that you're criticizing someone else's math, eh?

[NakiFan]

Lewis was 6 foot 4 and alf, Tyson Fury is 6 foot 7 apparently, so Vitali apparently would tower over fury, these klits get bigger every day!

evander holyfield, (david haye ) lol

Holyfield, no. Next.

It almost seems that people dismiss how many one punch ko's Wlad has.
He often takes his time doing it but I can count at least 4 big right hands against dudes that weren't known for going down.

Thompson and Brock are two, not even really thinking about it.

It's like saying Mormeck has more power than Wlad or Enzo has more power than Brewster or Peter.

I wouldn't be my life on this fight. It's not like Wlad's chin is granite. Haye is very quick, aggressive and looks like he might have some pop at HW. Not really sure who he's beaten besides an old, inactive Mormeck (who like you say, dropped him) and Maccaroni (who's chin has since been proven to be pure glass,) but I definitely give him a chance, if he fights a smart fight and is able to get past the jab, or maybe catch Wlad in a clinch with an uppercut or something. But yeah, I hear some funny stuff about this matchup.

Oh crap, you're right. Wlad doesn't have a chance in hell now.

Never mind that Gurov was 198 lb, and had already been stopped 4 times by guys weighing 190 pounds or less. (yes even in the first, when much closer to prime, by the great Terry Dunstan)

Haye has not shown anywhere close to Brewster or Sander's power at HW. The Purrity fight being over 10 years ago, with a 225 lb Wlad, less than two years as a pro, gassing in the 11th after using Ross as a punching bag for 10, when he'd never been past 8.

If i was haye i would just come out firing bombs....and hope he can get wlad aout before 6....i really dont believe wlad can handle pressure like hayes, if haye can be relentless with it....if not it could turn out to be a technical borefest and wlad will win.

[NakiFan]

There is no point in Haye trying to outbox Wlad, he needs to make him fight, Wlad isn't a warrior.

I would love a war. But pre-Sanders, with the exception of the McCline fight,

Wlad was more than willing to war.

And Wlad hits very hard. Haye might not like the feeling of a huge right as Wlad may not.


But I don't see Haye pulling a Sanders. I mean he didn't even do it against Barrett.

[Davros?]

Haye has not shown anywhere close to Brewster or Sander's power at HW. .

I am not saying Haye has more power than Brewster but i remember his fight after Wlad and he couldn’t knock down Kali Meehan who was KO in one round by Danny Williams and in 4 by Rahman. Speed and snap in the punch is the main thing going for Haye he never landed clean on Barrett yet had him all over the ring, I don’t see the fight being won by the first punch unless one of them throws and lands a crushing bomb as there first punch but i doubt it.
