Wlad is far from slow and plodding, he has very deceptive speed, and for the fight in which he was supposed to fight Haye in 09 but ended up fighting Chagaev he looked especially fast and fluid.Comment

Absolute bunk. Haye set a record for low punch output for a HW title fight against Valuev. He spent most of the fight imitating the Roadrunner to Valuev's Wile E. Coyote.
If you really believe what you're saying here, which I doubt, you know almost nothing about boxing. You're in for a very unpleasant night if and when Haye does fight Wlad.Comment

Great Movement - Staying away from Valuev on route to throwing the record lowest number of punches ever recorded in a heavyweight title fight.
Everyone saw that fight. You can't delete that or the Harrison fight from history.Comment

You don't have to be a fan of one boxer or the other to make a fight prediction based on resume, experience, and skill set. I think that's where you're mistaking the predictions of some people in this fight.Comment

I understand the desire some people have to see Wlad lose. Whenever anyone is so dominant, whether it's Roger Federer in tennis or Wlad and Vitali in boxing, there is always a reaction against them, people who just want to see them taken down. That's natural.
But some of what I read here gets into delusional territory. Many of the anti-Wlad types seem convinced that he is still the same guy who fought Corrie Sanders, a fight in which Wlad admits he didn't even train for and was planning on starting a holiday immediately after. On the contrary, you can be assured that Wladimir will never come into a fight MORE prepared than he will against Haye. He will have every angle covered.
As he says, back when he fought Sanders, all he did was punch and hope for the best. Since he started his current winning streak, however, he approaches every bout with a specific set of tactics, and sees it as a chess match.
In terms of preparation and approach, this version of Wlad is miles ahead of the guy who lost to Sanders. Nothing Haye has in his arsenal is going to be a surprise for Wlad.
That's not saying Haye can't win. But whether something can happen and whether something is likely to happen is the issue here.
This is Wlad's fight to win or lose.Comment
