    Why does Vitali get ****ted on for beating Johnson but Haye gets praised for beating

    Valuev? Valuevs already been beaten like 4-5 times now but just got the nod in those fights because he was fighting in home-court advantage. Plus I don't remember the Haye/Valuev being an exciting one either until the final round in the 12th. I personally think Kevin Johnson is defensively better then Valuev. Also, what makes David Haye fans actually think Haye will be able to hit Vitali? Vitali is not easy to hit at all.

      Maybe because it's harder to beat a 7 foot monster who wanted to win, as apposed to a guy 4 inches smaller than you who came to survive.

          Last nights fight just made some people realise that a Haye vs Vitali fight would be a lot closer than they first thought. Vitali looked very hittable last night but Johnson didn't have the power to hurt him.

            I can't help but think that the fact that Vitali only had about 3 months, less I think, to prepare for this one is what made him look bad. He is 38, after all. Also, it's funny anyone is being hated on after winning all 12 rounds. Shameful display by Kevin Johnson.

              vitali always looks hittable but hes not easy to hit..notice how johnson would slip shots from vitali and go to shoot counter shots back and vitali just wasnt there to be hit? johnson landed more clean shots (although not many) since vitali fought corrie sanders and lennox lewis. haye is an offense first fighter anyway you look at it..he would not be able to beat vitali the way he beat valuev simply because vitali has better footwork, has more power and can cut off the ring. haye wouldnt do much better than arreola honestly.

                Maybe because Valuev had a title, ranked higher, done more at HW and is the better fighter,

                  Who is supposed to be '****ting' on Vitali? You can only fight the guy in front of you, and the guy in front of him came to survive not to win.

                  As Liar said, though, Valuev - whatever you may think of him - has achieved far more in the sport and has a much better resume than Johnson.

                    Haye would fight like he did against Valuev and get his punches off first, Haye would be very hard for Vitali to pin down and when he does he would be very hesitant of throwing with the speed and power Haye has.
