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

[Macks]

Klitschko would have been KILLED by the past era giants -- like Foreman and Liston. Frazier would have punched holes in him. Klitschko is heartless. If you turned the air conditioner on, his chin would rattle...and he knows this. So he takes no risks. You Klitschko fans need to learn your history and watch the past champs.

being 6 ft tall is considered gigantic?

why doesnt anybody ever call me a giant?

[LeadUppercut]

Foreman excelled in arguably the two greatest decades in Heavyweight history: the 70s and the 90s. Any question of his greatness at Heavyweight is an indictment of the questioner.

Period.

EXACTLY !!

Good one.

WHOAH !!

" pushing the action " ?

What fkn action ?

Do you mean slowly shuffling forward whilst sparingly flicking out a less than dominant jab ?

Haye is a blown-up cruiserweight who has never actually beaten a top heavyweight, and yet Wlad, despite controlling the fight, never actually dominated or hurt Haye. Hell, he didn't even cut off the ring effectively.

Wlad is a superb champion, and the very baddest man on the planet (according to his brother )..... but Foreman is **** on with his analysis.

That was a very uninspiring, boring, safe, win, against a guy that Wlad should have dominated and knocked out.

Wladimir is NOT a "kick in the front door and KO you" kind of boxer. People talk about Wladimir only winning because he has size? well that works both ways. haye had a speed advantage, and used every bit of that big ass ring im sure his team pressed to get, he had the wheels in 6th gear all night.

foeman top boxer, poor analysis

Haye was afraid to engage 1000X more the klitschko and klitsckos previous opponents.

that made it difficult for klitschko to be aggressive.

foreman even had teh match a draw so i have no regard for his opinion in that match]

Put down your crack-pipe.

Haye is a blown-up cruiser who has never beaten a top heavyweight.

And yet it is entirely his fault that a champion who held considerable physical advantages over him was unable to take any risks let alone dominate?

NO

foreman are u serious? wladimir came forward the entire fight - threw about 600 punches. . . none of these guys want to really have a go at the klitschko's. . . (wladimir klitschko in this case).

But did still did not really want to fight

Foreman is serious, and he is 100% correct.

If Corrie Sanders had the same attitude as Wladimir, Wlad would have beaten him that night.

Foreman is a jealous delusional moron. His Wlad-Haye scorecard was a fucking disgrace. I think he's upset and bitter because Team Klitschko closed the door on him and made him wait outside during the entrance.

Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye

THE FACTS

Haye was scared shitless. He was afraid to engage with Wlad. He was in survival mode the entire fight. He was running like a scared girl from Wlad the whole fight and was flopping like a coward whenever he got close to Wlad or when he was hurt by Wlad's punches.

Wlad dominated the fight.

Wlad won every round.

Wlad controlled the entire fight.

Wlad was the aggressor from start to finish. He was the pressure fighter and was coming forward the entire fight.

Wlad made Haye look like an amatuer.

Wlad threw twice as many punches as Haye.

Wlad landed twice as many punches as Haye.

Wlad hurt Haye several times and made him spend the entire fight in survival mode running for his life and flopping like a coward.

Haye was schooled, outclassed, beaten up, dominated and humiliated by Wlad.

I scored it 119-107 for Wlad.

Another masterful dominant win for Wlad.

That clueless moron Foreman can go fuck himself.

Blah, blah, blah.....

FACT:

* Haye is NOT a top heavyweight

* Wlad held considerable physical advantages in that fight

* Wlad did not take any risks at all, and could not dominate or hurt Haye

[Mr.Easy]

The Klitschko's fell to these guys......How could anyone really think they could handle George's power..... Absurd!!!!!!

[LeadUppercut]

pound for pound skills aside, the klitschko's are the most dangerous pugilists in the world. . . as mayweather sr. would say "motha=****az are dangerous, ok!"

If you mean, completely forgetting P4P, and just analysing one-on-one matchups, then yes I agree. They are the baddest men on the planet.

But P4P..... they are not even close, they are not even on the list.

That was George's point I think.

Wladimir is NOT a "kick in the front door and KO you" kind of boxer. People talk about Wladimir only winning because he has size? well that works both ways. haye had a speed advantage, and used every bit of that big ass ring im sure his team pressed to get, he had the wheels in 6th gear all night.

And yet..... Wlad is 6'6"-250lbs, was controlling the fight, but could not dominate Haye, hurt him, or even cut off the ring effectively.

That is why he got knocked out by Corrie.

Corrie had no reason to stop punching Wlad in the face.

[Chex31]

frazier and liston were 5'11 and 6'0 in their primes. The tip of their heads would be at wlads waist LOL/

"big " geroge is not so big, he is only 6'3 and 220 at his best. Wlad would put on a boxing clinic, vitali would put him on a stretcher.

Please, Liston had 84 inches of reach. Not to mention he had a very good jab and power.

LOL at Vitali putting Foreman in a stretcher when he could not even knockdown Lewis.
