Comments Thread For: George Foreman: Klischko Was Afraid To Engage Haye

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

JAB5239 is the greatest heavyweight poster of all time.

I never really take too much notice of what Foreman has to say. On a British TV show he once said Lewis was the greatest heavyweight ever. Some time later, in the movie Facing Ali, he says the same about Ali. Foreman says what he needs to when he needs to say it, gains a little publicity here and there. Personally Wlad did what he had to to win the fight, in fact it was Haye who kept ducking under Wlad and plowing into his mid riff, of course Wlad is going to hold. Wlad was also he guy chasing Haye around the ring. Maybe Foreman didn't watch the fight.

Maybe next Foreman will criticise Whitaker for being too defensive.

Wlad never wants to get back in the ring with Haye, knowing damn well it's always a dangerous fight, he'll rematch bums who are over 40 as he knows he can win easily without needing to do all that stuff he had to do with Haye.

Perhaps; but, IMO, Wladimir would cruise to another UD in a rematch.

That right hand Wlad landed in round 5 or 6 scared the **** out of Haye; it was probably the hardest he'd been hit at HW.

It's true that he was cautious at the same time by engaging,if he did he would have given Haye his only chance to win the fight
If your winning on the outside there is no need to start fighting on the inside

I doubt the right was the hardest Haye has been hit with since it didnt wobble him, also i believe Chisora hit him with a right which sent shockwaves down Hayes nervous system and wobbled him for a second.

Haye landed the biggest punch of the fight, which made Wlad wobble and hold on for dear life, lucky for him it was in round 12

Wlads powershots didnt trouble Haye, what troubled him more was the illegal leaning, which drains opponents of all their energy.

Wlad would bend Hayes arm (juts out of sight of the ref) and lean on him, until Haye fell to the floor unable to carry the giants weight.

Haye took Wlads power shots very well

Wlad didnt come to fight, he was out landed in power shots by a much smaller man.

This is how Wlad won the fight, there was nothing Haye could have done better to avoid that jab...





Wlad wasnt only defensive, he just didnt want to fight, ample opportunities to let his hands go, but he didnt

[gmc_rfc_06]

Wlad's power never remotely bothered Haye, which was surprising. He landed a couple of his best right hands and they had no effect whatsoever.

Haye gave Wlad a couple of little wobbles, but ultimately that was the entire fight. Wlad jabbing and staying away while Haye made him miss and stayed away....power shots weren't landed often by either guy. Wlad does that against everyone though, can't expect him to do something else against a very fast opponent with big power.

I have the video of Johnson-Ruiz, I posted it in our videos section. There was NO knockdown of Kirk Johnson in that fight.

Kirk was never down in a fight until he fought Vitali.

You have a sick need to LIE to discredit the Klitschkos, like when you said Sam Peter was not ranked in the Ring Top ten when Wlad fought him in 2005. You knew he actually was top 10, but you believed I wouldn't be able to prove it.

Why not be honest and admit you have an obsessive hatred for the K Bros?

Wow. So John Ruiz didn't land a crushing right hand that left Johnson on the canvas? He was grabbing at Ruiz's crotch as he fell like a hooker down on her luck. Maybe it wasn't ruled a KD, I don't remember. But he definitely got dropped and dropped hard.

HAHA... Another butthurt former American heavyweight champion. Apparently George Foreman should stick with selling grills because if you watched that fight and couldn't come to the conclusion that David Haye was running, dancing, and flopping like Derek Fisher.....I don't think your comment should be taken serious.
