Can that guy actually move backwards?
Also I'd look at the amount of power punches Valuev actually threw. About three or something and one almost got him KTFO.
Valuev was just as negative as Haye if not more so. He didn't actually fight either. He didn't even try to rough up Haye. Just pumped out a jab that Haye avoided, and avoided and avoided. What else was Haye supposed to do? wait there and let them hit him just for a change.
Haye is not an inside fighter he couldn't have got the job that way. You play with the cards your dealt.
Valuev tucked up behind a jab. That's it. If he does that effectively against a much smaller man he is very very hard to beat conclusively. Nothing wide to counter, no inside work, just jabs that come from halfway across the ring.
