Haye wants to take the easier route : Vitali

[Kris Silver]

As for the chin of Vitali, he has a good one. With that said, both Lewis and Sanders hurt him, so he can be ko'ed like anybody else. Haye has enough power to put Vitali away, if he lands enough clean power punches, that is. I would pick Haye to get a UD or a SD over Vitali.

Haye can definitely beat the poor performance of LL against Vitali.

I think calling Vitali's chin, a good one is quite an understatement. He took some of Lewis's toughest uppercuts which rocked his head right back, and carried on, even with a bloody cut up face.

Haye has to get in closer, and land 5+ of those for me, to KO Vitali. When has Vitali looked close to being KO'd or decisioned?

I'm sorry I just think your massively under rating Vitali, and slightly over rating Haye. And I'm a fan of the latter.

Vitali was on his way to get ko'ed by Lewis (some people say otherwise, I don't care, the tide was turning and Vitali was holding on to dear life at the end of the last round)

I sound like I'm underrating Vitali because everybody is overrating him
he has never ever beaten a future HOFer

I'm not overrating Haye for sure, he's good but he doesn't impress me all that much, I just think he can beat Vitali

Vitali is by far the better Klitschko

Vitali's chin is a myth. I would even go as far as to say that Mccall and Puritty had stronger chins than Vitali.

There were two moments in his fight with Lennox where I believe he wouldve fallen if not for holding...this is the first one:


Vitali was stunned by a flash-shot, and as he was headed to the canvas he took lennox down with him. The second time Vit was stunned was following Lennox's devastating uppercut...



He was clearly out of it and held on for dear life while his legs recovered.

The difference between Lennox and Haye is that Haye is not a 37 year old man. Haye will KO VItali and take a year off from boxing letting Wlad age till 2012. Haye is a brilliant strategist and he will beat both sisters in a methodical fashion.
