    Haye was explosive and athletic with power in both hands. To this day I have no clue what happened in the Klitchko fight. I was expecting Haye to destroy Wladimir.
    I still think Haye was a much better boxer than Wladimir but just couldn’t pull the trigger for whatever reasons.

      I used to watch haye fights and wondered why nobody could go many rounds with him? I used to think that with Mike tyson, Nigel Benn and herbie hide too.
      Then you come to realisation, it's probably because they hit hard if nothing else

        Size matters.
        Wlads jab was too good.
        Haye seemed very wary of Wlad's power.

          Haye could have beaten Klitschko if he'd have shown him no respect and just viciously attacked from the opening bell.

            Haye doesn't have the greatest chin and the more he went for it, the more he could have taken in return. Wlad likely would have splattered him. That being said, it was Haye's only chance of winning fighting that way, so he should have went for it regardless. Nash out - His Majesty
