Comments Thread For: Haye vs. Klitschko Possible With Povetkin Being Paid Off?

[ChopperRead]

Did you see Vitali against Johnson ? He was punching like Joe Calzaghe for god's sake. Haye moves well, he could definitely potshot Vitali. We'll see if I'm a serious person when they actually fight. For the moment, I'll leave it at that.

Put it this way: if Haye "has no problem" beating Vitali, he'll be the first and only fighter to accomplish that, barring a miracle from Sosnowski. Lennox Lewis certainly had a huge problem with Vitali, and Byrd was losing to him and on his way to defeat when VK was injured.

Most of the problem with the Johnson fight was down to Kevin Johnson. Vitali had just fought pretty much of a stylistic veteran masterpiece against Arreola, doing all the things critics said he couldn't do because he was too "robotic" (utilize lateral movement and footwork, throw punches from many different angles). Definitely a fight where an old pro showed a young kid the ropes. But Arreola did come to fight: Johnson didn't. Vitali had not anticipated a guy laying in the ropes all night with his back half-turned, talking smack while losing round after round. Even Sosnowski will look good after that guy, so maybe that's the only upside there.

Atlas said that Povetkin is not ready for a title shot against Klitchsko...let Haye have a "crack" at Wlad...this fight can put the HW division back in the limelight...even if for one fight.

haye would smash tua of today tua ten years ago yeah agree there not now haye would win every round

I'm up for a bet on that if when they should fight. Tua by KO over Haye.
Love to see that fight happen. Tua is in shape and went 12 rounds easily last week. He didn't get the KO against a guy no-one has ever KO'd, but everything else is looking good.

I wonder if Teddy thinks Povetkin will EVER be ready for a shot against either
Klitschko, or if he wants a shot at Haye instead?

Why don't you let the fights happen instead of talking **** ?

Douglas had no chance against Tyson, and he ko'ed him.

You disgraceful moronic piece of ****.

BTW, if Haye has no chance like all you Klitards say, why should the Klits fight him then ? Is it that they only fight people who can't beat them, like some people accuse them of ?

Excellent, Wlad will finally KO Haye and shut his annoying nuthuggers up. Of course all the people that are now predicting Haye to Ko Wlad will not give Wlad any credit, as always.

This could be an excellent turn of events for heavyweight boxing...

Only if Haye wins lol

Either Klitschko would be a favourite because of a) a big reach advantage b) the skills (unlike Valuev) to actually utilise that reach advantage and c) crucially, plenty of experience in big heavyweight fights.

However, to say that either Klitschko would walk through Haye I think shows bias and possibly naivety. Haye has a tremendous combination of speed and power. Probably a better combination of the two than anyone either Klitschko has ever fought (including a 37 year old Lewis)...so obviously Haye has a chance. He's in his prime, extremely high on confidence and could definitely pose problems to either Klitschko.

Intriguing fight. A test for all involved. Let's get it on and enjoy it.
