In Hindsight of Wlads Stinker

[paulf]

It was a great strategy that Booth and Haye came up with. I'm surprised that the rest of Wlad's opponents haven't tried to copy it.

I think we can all agree that Haye's decision to fall down to his knees was the smarter option if all that talentless bum can do is lean on you and hold your head down.

There is a reason why he is not popular.

He is all size & 20% skill.

I thought he was selling out 40 thousand tickets per fight and making 10's of Millions? not popular? he's probably the most popular boxer on earth after Mayweather and Pacquiao

Probably means not popular in the US. We all know how upset a lot of US fans are that American heavyweights are beyond dismal right now. If anything, the Klitschkos prove the fact that the US is not equal to World. Wlads style isnt that exciting, but neither is Mayweathers. I guess the Klitschko "charm" seems to count just as much as Floyd's arrogance, in Europe

No one else has Haye's speed and skill to pull that off. Tells you what you need to know about heavyweights. Haye may have lost a one-sided fight looking at rounds, but so many of that rounds came down to a couple of punches. Haye very well could have won with a few more punches in a few rounds.

Mayweather is a hundred times more exciting than Wlad, though. He dominates while actually fighting. I can't stand the man, but I'll watch every Mayweather fight in a row before I'd watch a Wlad fight.

Wlad 20% skill..... uhhhhhh really? Am i the only one that thinks NSB is overreacting just a LITTLE?


Tommorow am I going to see a thread titled:

"Seth Mitchell KO's Wlad w/out CLINCHES.."

Haye had 50% of the game plan

He should have gone for Wlads body and scored more punches

Looking back there wasnt much in it bar a few jabs

Hayes falling to the knees was a great idea, it helped him conserve his energy

If you look at Pov he was gassed due to having to carry Wlads weight for 12 rounds
