Comments Thread For: haye's Lack of Size Cost Him His Heavyweight Dream

[Drunk Punch]

He looked big enough when he chased Wlad in the 12th round. He was just way too respectful and cautious on the night, he didn't put it on the line and tried to stay out of range. Wrong tactics and also, more importantly he underestimated how good Wlad is.

David Haye is an inch taller than Alexander Povetkin.

Haye is taller than Lamon Brewster and Joe Frazier.

Haye is 3 or 4 inches taller than Jack Dempsey and Mike Tyson.

Haye is naturally much bigger than Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers.

Haye said he was "killing himself" to make 200. Adamek was hurting to make 175, but he had no problem at all making 200.

David Haye is a medium-sized heavyweight with very similar proportions as Muhammed Ali.

Haye is much bigger than Ali, he's about the same size as a young "Big" George Foreman.

Want to talk about Hilarious size differences, what about Ali fighting 180 lbs Bob Foster....Now thats hilarious. If Haye was fighting in the 70's theyd call him "Big" David Haye. People need to make their minds up with the Klitschko hate...they claim on these blown up cruisers like Ali would beat them...and then claim that there should be a super heavyweight division because theyre too big. Make your damn minds up.

In every other weight class people probably would cut Haye more slack, eg. Manny vs Oscar when he suddenly jumped from 135 to 147, people thought it was ridiculous... a total mismatch... Or when Marquez vs Floyd, people didn't hate on Marquez, they just acknowledged he was too small. But because its the HW division, and because Haye over sold himself (he was his own promoter after all) no-one wants to acknowledge the massive disadvantage he was up against. I don't think he had much of a chance, but he fought the wrong fight and I think he was too wary of Wlad.

I don't buy the size argument. Audley Harrison was taller and outweighed him by about 40lbs. What about Valuev's size advantage? I think it was more Wladimir's skill level.

Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye

THE FACTS

Haye was scared shitless. He was afraid to engage with Wlad. He was in survival mode from start to finish. He was running like a scared girl from Wlad the whole fight, flopping like a bitch and taking knees.

Wlad dominated the fight.

Wlad won every round.

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

Wlad boxed beautifully.

Wlad made Haye look like an amatuer.

Wlad threw twice as many punches as Haye.

Wlad landed twice as many punches as Haye.

Wlad outlanded Haye in every round.

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

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

I scored it a shutout 119-107

Another masterful dominant win for Wlad.

The little pinky toe was the weakest excuse of all time.

Diva "Excusemaker" Gaye is a joke and a disgrace to boxing.

It wasn't a problem of weight or height... he made Klitschko look silly with his movement of head and feet the first 6 rounds... never seen Klitschko's jab so useless... if he jumped in Klitschko was scared and if he Haye landed (which wasn't often) Klitschko tried to clinch right away until he realised that the punch ain't hurt him and he didn't need to clinch... he just ain't tried often and hard enough... if I would be Haye I would cry for the rest of my life for bringing nothing in this opportunity...

I was so dissapointed in both... I expected Haye at least TRY to win which he never did... and after Klitschko promised to punish him and all the hype that went into it (first fight in a long time in the heavy division) I thought that Klitschko would actually TRY to punish him and stop him which he never did... the fight showed everything you need to know about Haye's and Wlad's career at HEAVYWEIGHT
