Comments Thread For: Klitschko Still Injured, Could Haye-Vitali Be Coming?

Well I'm sorry too brother but statistics show that Vitali has knocked out 39 of his 42 opponents for a 92% KO rate while Wlad has only knocked out 49 of his 55 opponents for an 89% KO rate. Numbers don't lie.

If you just watch the fights you can clearly see that Wlad packs more power into a single shot, I don't see how numbers that close in % really determine who for sure is the harder hitter.

This is why I laugh when people make threads asking who is going to the fight. "Guess who just booked a flight!!!" This fight is never going to happen. Either is Vitali vs Haye. Not gonna happen. Sorry. Save your money or at least have some fun back up plan for your trip.

Stop

It makes Wlad look bad?? Are you guys clowns? this isn't a back injury two weeks before the fight...It's an actual injury, but this is coming from another terrible boxing source boxingscene.com uses. It's strictly just drama so some people can try and jump on the Haye bandwagon. Doesn't matter who faces Haye, he has no business in the heavyweight division.

Vitali looked very slow in the ring against Solis. I don't know, maybe his punches would flow better once he got warmed up but if they don't, Haye would have a chance against him. As long as Haye fights one of them, I will be happy...

Vitali doesn't put all his weight into most of his punches & relies on combinations more. He packs just as much wallop when he commits with his right hand. He also has more variety of punches which is part of his arsenal than Wladimir. Before his injury with Byrd,, he ko'ed all 27 opponents he faced & alot of them was with one shot.. Saturday night...was just a refresher & when he put all his force on the final punch he threw at Sosnowski it was lights out.

Wladimir is definitely the harder puncher. he has more "one shot" power. Vitali, indeed holds a higher KO %, however, he stops his opponents from volume punching. I will go as far to say that Wladimir has the most powerful jab and straight right (NOT the best overall) in the history of boxing.

I knew Wlad didnt want to fight.

Wlad will be ready don't worry!!!!

[Marcov]

I'm not doubting Wlads injury but each time Haye has gotten close to a Wlad fight, Vitali's name is injected. Haye should just wait for Wlad.

If you think Vitali is the stronger puncher you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Sorry.

Wlad's definitely the harder puncher. Vitali might be heavier handed, but Wlad throws the crisper, quicker, more stunning punches.

Yeah they do actually, and they can be used to spin all sorts of falsehoods if you manipulate them right. Never heard of the expression, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"? Twain knew what he was talking about.
