Who is TECHNICALLY better? David Haye or Wladamir Klitschko?

[Heeb]

Wlad by far...its not even really debatable.

It really isn't. Haye is a far cry from being good. He could easily be exposed by a number of journeyman fighters, yet there is nobody who can beat Wlad.

Wlad by far

[Walt Liquor]

Less textbook than Ikea assembly instructions. Look, Wlad does the basics ok. But let's not get this crazy notion that he's some kind of Zen guru because he isn't.

And whose textbook are we following here? The one I've read says you should keep your head moving at all times but maybe Wlad has some different version because his head seems bolted to his torso like that of Frankenstein's monster.
Wlad is boxing by numbers. Which makes him a textbook fighter - sure.

wlad's head movement is more about his footwook.

so you agree, good. wlad throws a textbook jab, hook, and straight right. he also has great balance, foot positioning and timing. sounds techincal to me.

Haye is better technically than he's given credit for. To be honest I think if they were the same height, Haye would beat Vlad up pretty easily.

since when did height determine who has the better skill?

lol..true...I need to see more from Haye...he has potential but for all his **** talking he should be doing more in the game of boxing.

For all Wlad's lack of head movement he gets hit surprisingly less often then "slick" haye, who was even tagged by guys like barrett and ruiz. I mean, I wonder why?

Yes, probably because Wlad has arguably the best footwork in the division.

[Tiozzo]

Overall, Wlad has the better technique.

If I break them down,

Haye has :

- the angles
- no balance
- slickness
- recklessness
- head and feet movement

Wlad has :

- the textbook punching
- the balance
- no inside game at all
