Comments Thread For: Wladimir vs Haye is The Likely Choice, Says Booth

Oh, come on. Nobody has worse stamina than Solis. Haye is definitely lacking in that respect, but Solis is just embarrassing.

And don't tell me that Haye is hard to hit, or that he has good footwork. His footwork is amateurish. His accuracy is pitiful. Haye has made a career of using his excellent hand speed to land awkward punches out of nowhere and surprise his opponent. Solis has far better accuracy and far better footwork.

Haye should really be fighting someone his own size, like Boytsov or Adamek. Those could be interesting fights. His only hope against either Klitschko is a surprise shot. He doesn't have the tools to get to either of them and wear him down.

To be honest foot speed is way more important than hand speed in this fight, if Haye is going to get close to Wlad he needs to move quickly and correctly to get past the jab, I highly doubt he can do it.

Good.

I think Vitali would be an easier fight

I tink Vitali is ripe to be beaten by anyone with some hand and foot speed. It's hard to say after one round what would have happened in a fight, but Solis had the game plan to give Vitali a lot of trouble and maybe win. His issue was he wasn't in good shape. Haye is faster, taller, a bigger puncher, and in much better shape. I think he has the ability to beat both, but the real question is if he gets caught with a good clean shot by either can he take it?
