Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Haye Deserves Vitali Klitschko Shot

[yoz]

Im a huge fan of Haye and lewis but i dont think they beat Wlad as he is now. Under Manny Steward he has become very sound defensively with KO power. People question his chin, but haye connected flush in round 3 and 12 and Wlad withstood it. I think Haye should get the fight simply as there are no other fighters ready for the Klitschko's. Maybe Povetkin, but he wont step up. My heart wants me to believe that Haye will win, but my boxing brain tells me Vitali wins a fairly wide UD. I know that Vitali is coming to the end of his career and is more vulnerable than Wlad, but i can only see Haye being competitive in the opening rounds and then fading and going into survival mode. Haye always has a punchers chance though!

What's wrong with you, seriously?

The best heavyweight of our time has spoken (and possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time) - Lennox Lewis.

Vitali needs to stop running, man up and fight the Hayemaker.

Vitali once remarked that he believes there was no stronger fighter in the history of boxing than Lennox Lewis. And that (ofcourse) Lennox was his toughest fight. Vitali got beaten by the greatest HW of all time, but it was a close fight.

Still, you need to keep in mind, Haye was the one running from Vitali initially. Vitali never ducked anyone.

I agree, I think Lennox is the greatest as well.

Yes, way too many people forget this.

Haye ducked Vitali back in 2009.

I've honestly never seen a person so openly butt-hurt about a certain fighter than you. Even in threads with nothing to do with him, not even remotely close to the same weight class, you try and talk s**t.

Comparing Haye and Floyd is just ignorant. Even if they have crappy attitudes, Haye should never belong in a conversation with Floyd.

Get over it and grow up. Move on with your life. It was 5 years ago this December. I think you're suffering from PTSD because of Floyd-Hatton, given your recovery is taking so long.

Not really. Floyd's ducking is well documented. Get over the fan boyism.

Here is the Lennox Lewis who suddenly retired too scared to give Vitali a rematch. Now, he wants his countrymen to fight Vitali LOL Haye doesn't even deserve and Wladimir rematch

Nahh Vitali broke his shoulder that's why he lost against Lewis.

Quitali knowns better. Wladi***** couldn't even hurt Haye when he had a broken bone in his power foot. Quitali is too slow and methodical to beat someone like Haye.

You guys are certifiably insane. Lennox was a good heavyweight and probably makes into the top 10 heavyweights of all-time on many ballots. But he is nowhere near the top heavyweight of all-time. I'm not alone on this. You guys are. Show me one legitimate boxing analyst/journalist that opines that way.

Show me one legitimate boxing analyst/journalist period...mostly the ones in the USA are all pro-American nuthuggers.
