Hopkins Still Wants David Haye

[z0jo]

if this fight happens it would be the biggest mismatch in boxing history.

so you sayin' that Valuev is a better defensive fighter or his size makes him harder to hit.......when Haye learns the BASICS he'll be a threat to ANY HW......but as of now.....how do I say this without being disrespectful towards Haye, bcause I do like the life he's breathed into that dead division......but Haye is not that good......not sayin' he would flat out get schooled by B.Hop......but I don't see nothing besides power that Haye can truly rely on in there........correct me if I'm wrong because I've been wrong before and there's a small chance I could be wrong again!!

No, what I'm saying is that Valuev has a head made or concrete, to quote Haye he said it was like hitting a brick wall. My point is, once Haye lands, it's game over. Haye is clever, fast, very fast for a HW...it will be a major KO for Hopkins.

hopkins beat haye i would be amazed

[alza1988]

I don't know tbh .Hopkins has took 15 pounds up and beat Tarver .He's a great fighter and it's great fighters who take weight up plus power and win .That's what everybody fought with Pacquiao DelaHoya etc DelaHoya by murder .Hopkins's untested at heavyweight and I think defintley deserves a shot because he's a vet .Hopkins must fancy his chances .

Worst matchup of all time.

yes your right... you are wrong. Haye has good boxing ability when he uses it he does choose his moments to throw bombs, there is method to the madness, he'll never be the best defensive fighter he uses his reflxes as his defence, but he'll smash bhop, good technically or not haye has the speed to land and once that happens, bhop will either spoil to survive or get knocked out, speed is the key to beat bhop, he cant react to everything espcially at his age.

This is why it is so easy for fights fans to predict wrong outcomes.
I go against the grain and give BH a great chance to make it very difficult for haye, just like carl thompson did.

When BH has proved people wrong so much you have to learn from your mistakes of making wrong predictions.
Im not saying BH would beat Haye. But BH could give haye as good a fight as Ruiz is supposed to. RJJ beat Ruiz and BH will beat RJJ now.

So many things to consider.

yea but carl thompson beat haye through durability, chin stamina rather than technically desecting him the way bhop would these qualities are some things that at his age and against a big guy bhop will lack. Thompson was getting the kitchen sink throw at him in that fight it looked like the ref was going to stop it, then haye got knackered then thompson landed a few heavy blows and it knocked the stuffing outa haye, he was still throwing when the ref stopped it

No, he just needs pension money.


Haye by murder. Once he starts landing it's game over. Haye even wobbled Valuev off one off his bombs.



BOOOOOOOOOMMMM..

Like Valuev hadn't been rocked before... Haye should win, but he would certainly not murder Hopkins.

[SN!PER]

This could actually be a good fight for the early rounds, but in the mid-rounds Hopkins will start to slow down.

After Hopkins slows, Haye will start advancing on him and it will get ugly for Hopkins very quickly.

It's too late in Hopkins' career to take on a young heavyweight.
