Lennox Lewis: "David Haye Can Beat Wladimir Klitschko"

[jisi]

If Haye lands, if he will not get hit....

Lewis is right at this point.

But Haye will get hit and Wlad will KO him. We had find it out but unfortunaly Haye pulls out for the fight of 20th of june.

But i hope, the fight happens in 2010.

Wladimir has both Chambers and Povetkin lining up to face him next year as it is, so it's safe to say a Haye-Wlad fight won't be happening soon. Haye may find himself stuck in the WBA cycle of Ruiz twice, then a Valuev rematch and possibly Chagaev and Holyfield if he doesn't give up the belt in order to face one of the Klitschkos.

But i think that is the closest Lennox has come to giving Vitali credit for being any good. His secret thoughts about Vitali are revealed. Because he always plays his cards close to his chest in case the history books say vitali is better than Lennox.

Nah, Lewis just used the occasion to glorify himself. Saying that it took him a few rounds to "get to him".

As far as I'm concerned, Lewis never "got to him", and I can see reasons to give Klitschko all 6 rds, or perhaps 1 even. And that would have been the rd where Klitschko, in a close clinch, walked Lewis to the ropes, taking a few uppercuts on the way.

{[The round in which Klitschko got that cut was given to Lewis [rd3] although except for that cut, it was a big Klitschko rd and should have been given to him.]}

But, the uppercuts never bothered Klitschko at all, in fact he easily may have had his glove in between, all we saw was his head moving as the shots were given. So either he was blocking them or/and he held Lewis too close for them to have any effect.

And they actually had no effect. The cut looked worse than it was, and had been controlled almost immediately. Klitschko could see very well, could open both eyes very widely, the doctor was wrong, in thinking that Klitschko's eyelid was drooping. And he knows he was wrong, because he gave several reasons for the stoppage later.

My own opinion, which is just as good as anyone else's is, that maybe the doc had a big bet on Lewis.......... And the doc later said that he told Klitschko to "look up", and he didn't.

Most likely, with a full corner, and instructions in 2-3 different languages, Klitschko either never heard the doc or didn't understand him. The doc was standing directly over him with Klitschko's eyes at the level of the doc's navel. So even if he heard and understood, he couldn't physically comply.

Besides, we could all see that Klitschko was completely surprised and aggravated when he finally understood that the doc had stopped the fight......because [supposedly] he couldn't see........

M own opinion is that Lewis has always used every little opportunity to degrade the Klitschkos and aggrandize himself, like a self centred child.

Wasn't he acting as "guru" for every one of the Klitschko opponents??????

[Dorian]

What do you expect him to say? really.

[kenso]

Wlad has a glass chin, David Haye only needs to land one shot and its all over... the shot he wobbled Valuev with in the final round would have put Wlad on the canvas.

wlad only needs to land one shot as well, but lets be honest here - wlad lost to sanders, what over 5 years ago? the brewster loss wasnt legit, wlad was sick.

do you honestly believe a fighter cant improve within that time? wlad is a defensive master now, he has one of the most effective styles ever in boxing. haye's style is no where near as successful or effective. haye is a good boxer, but he doesn't have the skills wlad has. haye can end the fight with 1 punch, but he will never even come close to getting a chance to land that punch. haye won't ever get past the jab, and if he does, there will be a right hand waiting to end the fight early. if you honestly want to back your boy haye, lets go - ill give you 2-1 odds, im taking klitschko. be a man and pm me on it.

[The Hammer]

David Haye chickened out of a fight with Wladimir last June, and later was too cowardly to face Vitali.

Right now, Haye would be an easy early KO for either Klitschko. He may be willing to fight them when they are old and shot.

[*2TOUGH*]

Haye ran like a scared coward for 12 rounds, refused to engage and only threw 3 punches per round against an old, shot, slow feather fisted Valuev (who was coming off a clear cut loss to 80 year old shot Holyfield) and now Lewis thinks he can beat Wlad.

If an old, shot Valuev can beat and scare the **** out of Haye, just imagine what either Klitschko will do to him.

Either Klitschko easily destroys the glass chinned Haye.

your alt accounts make me lafff.. u ****** joke!!!

[dukecanela]

He had his chance!

And blew it cause even if he thinks haye can beat him, Haye himself is not so confident.

Lewis made out he was just coming into the fight so the stoppage was right to save Vitali from a career ending injury.
But he does really seem to want to help haye beat the klitschos. Lennox knows Haye will never achieve what he has done for british boxing so dont mind giving him a helping hand.
