Do you give Haye a reasonable shot at beating Wlad?

[the niggest]

As much as I want Haye to win, I give him a 25% chance... tops. I really dislike the Klitschkos but I'm not an idiot, I know that Wlad is on the top of his game right now. And nobody can really trouble him at the moment.

[The Surgeon]

Put it this way he has a better chance than anyone else does.....

[Imatroll]

i gave him 100% cuz you know..

[hugh grant]

Ive been watching Haye fight for years and years now and have been waiting for someone to either take him the distance or be ahead on points and it seems like that day is never happening.

So i cant bet against him.

[2Fast]

No doubt in my mind haye will win. he is not a bum like Wlad's previous opponents.

A bigger chance then most of the other heavyweights that's for sure.. but that's still not saying much... I think if he's able to hurt Wlad early in the fight hes got the explosiveness and speed to finish him...

Both Wlad and Haye have been thought to have somewhat suspect chins, with both fighters suffering knockout losses earlier in their careers where stamina could of played a role..

Wlad looks like he's been able to keep hes stamina in check and hasn't really looked like slowing down in any recent fights... Haye im still not sure on.. he tends to waste a lot of his energy during the earlier rounds by trying to take your head off with a flurry of Hayemakers.. That's when he's real dangerous and he knows it... but the knockout isn't always a guarantee and I think Haye tends to rely on the knockout and his power a bit too much.

Wlad is a different story, very calm and collected and most of the time very comfortable just sitting safely behind his long hard jab, a jab he uses extremely well! not to just to set up other punches like the infamous straight right.. but he's able to inflict some serious damage with the jab alone.. he uses it in such an incredible way that he can control the pace and distance of the fight.

By throwing the jab as often as he does accompanied with the huge power he has behind it, it wont take long for it to grab the opponents attention.. not only is it being used as a weapon but also as a distraction, with the opponent always left second guessing on what's about to come next.. Basically jabs you a few times to keep you in check and if you have the courage to walk through the jabs he sneaks in a straight right down the middle.. now you're back to square 1... which was getting the **** beat out of you from the outside.. so you either go straight back into your shell or show the heart and courage of what it takes to be a true champion and walk through him and try to knock hes ass out... and really that's the only way I see Haye winning..

I thought Haye was really intimidated by the size of Valuev so he chose to box and move.. I don't think he will be able to do that with Wlad he has to go out guns blazing or Wlad slowly picks him apart..


Reality is Both have huge knockout power... So it could be up to who's able to take as much punishment as they can give.

Wlad is a lot more composed and I think has matured a lot as a fighter since suffering those few knockout losses... Haye is can be wild but is very explosive and quick... But all I can see is Wlad slowly breaking Haye down before either knocking him or the ref calls it off.. I feel Haye will have hes moments where he will occasionally rush in to throw a combo of hayemakers.. but after feeling the power of Wlad will become more hesitant and discouraged to throw and take risks the longer the fight lasts.

you think he hits less hard than brewster?

brewster isnt even a puncher

Brewster is'nt even a puncher? You're not even a fan.

Brewster ko'd a lot of cats, BUMS that he was meant to Ko.

other than Wlad, show me one IMPRESSIVE ko of a durable guy that brewster has.


Brewster is not tua, sanders, briggs in the power stakes

This is the best and most unbiased Analysis I've read in a while. Thanks for keeping it real man.

5-10%, puncher's chance really, Wlad is better in every department.
