David Haye: "Evander Holyfield Beat Valuev Easily"

[Dorian]

David Haye should be able to outwork Valuev easily.

[Blue Heffner]

I want to both Haye and Valuev fight the Klitch brothers.

I think that even at age 46, Holyfield has a better chin and stamina than Haye.

But because he's younger, Haye is faster and has a better workrate than the old version of Holyfield. He will connect with Valuev's chin many times in the early rounds.

But Valuev received the best punches from Barrett, Chagaev, Ruiz and others. And I could tell by his expressions afterwards, he wasn't really even buzzed by any pf those shots, despite what some people say.

If Valuev's chin holds up in the early rounds, he will likely stop Haye late in the fight.

I agree on the chin, but to be honest was Holyfield hit on the chin much by Valuev, also Haye can work on his stamina, we must wait and see on that.

As for power, yes Valuev took good shots off those guys, but none of them hit as hard as haye does, also haye's punches are faster which means you dont see them.

I personally think that Haye can KO valuev and is better going for that than trying to outbox him, has anyone ever really attacked Valuevs body? he looks a little soft in the belly.

Still I think Valuev will win, Haye is a disaster waiting to happen

What Haye fails to realize is great old fighters are always capable of one last great performance.

Valuev ain't a great fighter.

[vitali1999]

Valuev ain't a great fighter.

I was refering to Holyfield. Valuev looked bad becuase of what Holyfield did, not him.

[T-97]

Whilse Haye is right... he's setting himself up for a fail.

If he wins, so... the guy should've lost to a 400 year old Evander, what's the win worth other than a paper belt?
If he loses, then he lost to a guy who should've lost to a shot to **** Evander.

So, Haye kinda dropped himself in it with this one. However, War Haye

[RightCross94]

I would be 1000% confident of a Haye victory if Haye had a decent chin and reliable stamina. However he doesn't. So Valuev has a punchers chance and he also has the chance to wear down a tired Haye late in the fight.


Although even if Haye does get hurt, or does fade, I think Valuev is too slow and ponderous to fully capitalise. And whatever Haye's other faults, he does have a lot of heart.

So I'm pretty sure of a Haye victory, just with speed, lateral movement, and control. But there is a chance for Valuev, just like there's a chance for all Haye's opponents at HW with his pretty poor chin.

[$partacus]

Holyfield didn't talk **** about Valuev, Valuev will be more motivated for this fight and will want to hurt haye.

I agree with Haye...
I thought that the Holyfield Vs. Valuev fight was the biggest Robbery I have personally witnessed in Boxing...
Hell, I even wrote a letter to the WBO protesting the decision.

I would not be surprised at all if Haye KO's Valuev. But even if he does; then it doesn't really mean anything in my eyes. He will still lose to the Klitschko Brothers.
