Do you give Haye a reasonable shot at beating Wlad?

[Uturn]

You'd be an absolute fool to give Haye zero chance. He has a reasonable shot at being Wlad, due to his power and athletic ability to move around the ring. I have it 70-30 in favour of Wlad to beat Haye but no doubt for Wlad that Haye is the most dangerous opponent he's faced for a long time.

I think Wlad will KO Haye late in a competitive fight.

its like this....when David Haye connects his fist with Vlad's chin....Vlad will be unconcious...it's not a matter of if but a matter of when.....

i.e. lamon brewster, corrie sanders....

Lamon brewester and corrie sanders had tremendous power. You can't compare haye's power to them.

And Wlad is not the same fighter he's better now and a lot more cautious. If you think haye will tap him on the jaw and it's over I would advice you not to bet any money on this fight because you're predicting it horribly wrong

[Albo Dakkid]

you think he hits less hard than brewster?

brewster isnt even a puncher

brewster is a great puncher what are you talking about.

[paulf]

Haye has very fast hands, a big punch, and a decent reach (3inches less than Wlad). Of course he has a chance.

Wlad is going to need to be careful about being caught with an uppercut or a strait shot when he moves in to hold.

This is why I am positive Haye will select Wlad as an opponent. Haye has absolutely no chance against Vitali.

Brewster was not a massive puncher!

Corrie sanders, i grant was a lethal puncher, but brewster was not, he went 12 rounds with Kali Meehan in his prime, Meehan got splattered by Danny Williams in one round, he had a lot of ko's back then but they were all bums!

Haye will not lose against Vlad!

[_original_]

Considering that Wlad fights like a scared little girl and has a crappy chin, I give Haye a pretty good chance.

Really though, neither guy has a strong chin so I see somebody getting stopped in comic fashion. Haye is going to have to somehow penetrate that jab Wlad is going to be shooting at him all night. That's the key, to disrupt his jabfest and rough Wlad up in the process. Try to get him into a brawl and even then you have to be careful for Wlad's right.

One fight doesn't determine anything. Even Hearns and shavers went 12 rounds it doesn't mean anything.

Brewester wasn't a 1 punch guy but he had heavy hands. 30 KO's out of 35 wins definitey means something.

I wish there was a highlight of him on youtube. Look at the fight against vlad when he let his hands go though. you'll see what im talking about

[Motofan]

How does anyone see Haye getting past the jab? Ruiz peppered him with a jab consistently, and Ruiz has a slow, **** jab with no power on it. Wlad's jab alone could knock Haye out.

[Albo Dakkid]

i can't help but feel like this is going to be another Calvin brook fight where Wlad dominates him with the jab and then starts landing big right hands by the 7th round and up.

Wlad has more options in how he wants to fight this fight. He could either controll him with the jab and put pressure latter on in the fight or he can just do what he did against Ibragimov and fight cautious while controlling and scoring just enough to win the fight.

i somehow feel that Klitchko is going to let his hands go though. I know he's mad at how much **** Haye has been talking and is gonna try to put some hurting into him
